While WSE is very interesting, there are a few reasons for us not to use it.
1. It is a community developed project whose developer could disappear. If it stops getting updated and Warband updates, we might get stuck on an old version like we did years ago.
2. To use it on the servers, we need full control of the servers. This is not a problem for EU or NA but we do not have control of the Warband executable on the AU servers.
3. Some of the best features would need to have WSE run on the client - not only the server. This would mean creating our own launcher with WSE bundled and could complicate things a bit for Steam users. This is not necessarily a reason not to use WSE - it is more of a caveat.
A new developer did take over the project and Taleworlds has not released an update that broke WSE in some time (the Invasion mode update did not break it) so that might not be worth much worry. The server control would probably be the biggest problem. I don't want different regions having different feature sets. Maybe we could convince the host to upload an unofficial community "hack" which enables a bunch of functionality to their servers for us but it seems unlikely.
