hehe, how about data type objects.. for instance the ability to store a string, list, key, float, int, etc into an inventory object. ya know like a texture. it can be refered to like an animation, by name in content only, which would keep it from being an instantaneous data transmission vehicle (heaven forbid, although that would be REALLY usefull too).

How about a raw text file. Is that too hard to implement? A simple per-user, run-of-the-mill disk quota like every server has, with plain little file access primitives like every normal programming language has.

I'm personaly a fan of the idea of some sort of simplified database access. Each user could get a few mb and access to it could be capped so as to keep it from being abused (db polls/sec). You would only be able to access your own db.

what eggy said. they could limit the size per av and delete data that hasn't been accessed for some defined period of time like we do with mail files here. if people don't check their mail for a few weeks, they suddenly don't have any. whoops.
