notes

The script engine may be obsolete and not needed.
The world could be working as a MAS (Multi Agent System). Which means that each NPC wouldn't be a script in itself, but an agent that communicate with its environment in order to choose its action. It would contact the world service certainly the same way any player would.
- This would make it worth it to try to scale as even if no player play the game, the NPC will, and thus lot of npc would require a proper scaling
- Playing the game would be more interesting as each player would basically be teamed up with random NPC when those NPC want to team up.
