The overall goal was a point of contact for the players... Whereas a player can create a petition, GM's can follow up, and players can follow up with that, only in that petition system.

Running that through the pre-built web interface can provide a lot of challenges, however I do not see it really as security but as a lack of scalability; whereas the pre-built-in interface confines you really to the machine that is running the world server. If someone like DR is running a world server, several zone servers and have an entirely separate network for web, and controlling the server, that really wouldn't work.

Allowing the program to run outside the built-in system provides more scalability imo =). But, its not hard for any developer to import/convert that php to perl for the interface =).

As far as security issues go, I cannot really see any more security risks than that of it running on the local host.

EQEMU has to have a username and password for the database, just like php/apache has to have it =S I'm not sure how there would be a greater threat running the program outside the eqemu web admin interface =S.
