...in theory, would it be possible to make an MMOG with VERGE or are VERGE's commands not powerful enough (I mean, making an MMOG with ONLY verge...no dabbling into other languages)...
Just a curiosity question...

Subtract the MM in front, and yes, but with pain. Ideally, you'd probably want another programming language to handle the server, and have only the client made in VERGE, so to make things run more effectively.

But has it ever been done before?

It's possible, but no one has actually made an online game yet.

Also, it should be noted that networking capabilities have only been in Verge a relatively short time; they really haven't been there long enough to make a serious multiplayer game.
That aside, Zonker has that pong demo. I wouldn't call it massively multiplayer, though. And VergeChat could be called a 'game'... I guess...

'Look, look! My 'k' is attacking your 'r'! I win! I'll add a '|' to my tally.'
What the cock is up with quotations turning into apostrophes? :(

Anyhow, I suspect the whole double quotes turning into apostrophes thing is a side effect of something the scripts are doing to make posts storable in an SQL database. Double- and single-quotes are generally special characters to SQL statements so they have to be escaped in various silly ways. It's probably just not quite unescaping them properly when it pulls them back out.

The text data into the MySQL table needs to be addslashes()'d before queried. The fetched rows from MySQL need to be removeslashes()'d. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problem inputting it into the table and extracting it!
Er... wait you might not need removeslashes(), since PHP probably would interpret the slashes as escape characters when you use echo. Maybe not though...

That's a good point on the add/remove slashes. ... So I have no idea either. Maybe you can figure it out (eventually), eh, overkill? :D
