Yes you can make online games with GM:HTML5.
Is it limited: I can't really tell since i didn't really test (a 100%) this extension: http://gmc.yoyogames...howtopic=526082.

So could 1 make a game where the user places down objects and purchases items with in app purchases, virtual cash, exp, levelling up, visiting others like etc in pet shop story, and expand their world?

[membrain]

it would require the use of a database with individual user accounts, but yes it can be done from what I understand.
I don't know jack-**** about java, html, or any web-based language so I am of no help here I'm afraid but what I've read around the forums suggest that it's possible.
I suppose cookies could be used as an alternative but in my opinion that's not a smart way to go.

If any of you wish for me to do so, I am considering creating a compilation of my version of World Engine and GM:Html5! (using this extension) If I am able to create this without any bad luck, feel free to ask and I could easily post it up for your use

It is worthy to point out that you should never store sensitive database credentials in your javascript files as MOST HTML5 engines do not obfuscate their source codes. The only viable solution I'd see to something like this is to keep a constant connection to a database to synchronize other players and your webhost wouldn't be terribly happy with this influx of HTTP requests.

However, I do not use GM:HTML5, as I code Javascript directly, however I'm sure the only way to use networking features within YYG's engine is to reference external Js libraries.

If this was directed towards me, then I'm sorry but I hardly understood any of this. If not, carry on!

Or you could call a webpage based on PHP
and yes the only way of using networking features with anything related to YYG's engines are external resources xD
