Is there absolutely no way to gain an advantage over others?
There is no data about spawns, rare spawns, characters, accounts, houses, existing items, etc in the scripts. Anything they can view is something I would already be transparent with players about (mechanics).
The main reason the shard isn't open source to begin with is that it would make it very easy for someone to fracture our playerbase with code I have spent years on. I can assure you that if anyone is concerned about shard corruption, it is me, and that is why for a long time only myself and a real life friend (Tophu, who designed the website and did much in game decoration design, including our event areas) were staff on the shard.
