Beginner Question reguarding TGE

I am a hobbiest c++ programmer. and a quick learner however i had a few questions about TGE before i purchase.
1) I want to make a rpg style game for fun just a simple Multiplayer game that 50 people or so could play. and login to my server where i would store player info and such. would this be possible and with how much originial code? ( i hope i pharsed that correctly.)
2) What are the limitations of the C-script? can you create complex datastructures with it and do file io on with it? I"m really new to the entire C-script thing..
If TGE will do this stuff i'm there no matter how long it takes me to implement my vision. I"m just a hoobbiest looking to make a fun game =)
Thanks, all replies are appreciated.

1) Yes. The multiplayer/networking is standard. You would have to write your own persistance code. There are ODBC interfaces or you could roll your own storage using C++ or scripting.
2) The built in scripting is pretty good for what it is intended but there is now another option which will address any reservations you have. Recently a binding for Python was added as a resource. This gives you a complete language with fancy data structures. You can use it for scripting and it has a huge set of libraries for doing just about everything else.
