That's a custom system they wrote, it doesn't use perl or anything like that. It's a pure C++ backend.

Can the original model for the Freeport boat be extracted, the design studied, and then a brand new boat created in 3D Max that matches as close as possible to the original and then use it to replace the faulty boat? If new, custom objects can be made and imported, then why not a new boat that is designed like the original but without the flaws?

What I miss is that there were a few things you could do on that boat. Downstairs there were a couple of merchants where you could sell your goods while the boat was cruising. You could actually chill out downstairs with other players too.
