Well not sure how to answer that but I will try. For file I/O you would have a seperat file for each character that would store HP/MANA/MOVE points, store items that the character would have on. Areas would be loaded from there own files with all the creatures and items for that area in the same file. Spells would probably have there own seperate file to load from. As far as unning the game it would be run on a redhat linux server.
That's a bizarre design choice (for the characters, I mean), this just screams Database, especially since you may find yourself with concurrent write accesses on some files (e.g. a player attacks another while the other is moving).
Anyway. This looks like you'll be doing lots of file I/O, with a few calculations inbetween, right? Then unless your server is really shitty, Python should handle this just fine.
