I'm just curious. What new features are going to be included in this new version of the BYOND Client? Is it as awesome as everyone says it is, or is everyone making these "omgz i r gt BYOND 4.OH theres a BIG LEEK lol" topics just to feel superior?

With BYOND 4.0 you can create a game just by defining 'world'.

Making wiz_chat is as easy as:
world="A chat that many people flock to yet is still buggy. Wiz_kidd0123 does not bother to fix."

You can modify how players see the screen... including and not limited to totally removing the ugly tabs and adding windows for functions...

Here's an example:

There was a big leak.
Like, 50 people who shouldn't have it, have it.

It pretty much just lets you customize the setup of your game. You aren't stuck using the default dreamseeker setup.
