More insights:
Cuppycake of FoH is the Community Manager. She certainly will be used to the forum game hailing from that happy land.
So actually reading more clearly the FAQ this time, I think I begin to understand. It's an API they are going to offer, borrowing heavily from LUA. It will feature paid hosting services, which I caught. It will have some IDE or basic editor to help users. It will probably also feature a small template library to start, and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't try to offer more free or paid object libraries down the road.
Raph is a big fan of BlitzBasic, and I think this is his inspiration. The appeal is to offer people the ability to create online games as easily as creating blogs, which most toolkits, other than the eponymous Torque, can't do easily. And certainly not do well. Ergo, the money is in a games version of Blogger. It's not a bad idea. But it won't be Neverwinter Nights or SL for the kids who are still hoping for an easier way to build their own MMO. It will be probably much closer to the world of creating mods in WoW.
