	That's a bizarre design choice (for the characters, I mean), this just 
screams Database, especially since you may find yourself with 
concurrent write accesses on some files (e.g. a player attacks another 
while the other is moving).

	Anyway. This looks like you'll be doing lots of file I/O, with a few 
calculations inbetween, right? Then unless your server is really 
shitty, Python should handle this just fine.
