Colin... thanks for your help! I just got this email from them... so I think I should be "ok".

"Undoubtedly you have a lot of database already for your message board
(vbulletin) and everything else. The game doesn't use these tables for
anything. It only needs to access the table where your player data is
stored. It has nothing to do with vBulletin or any other software package
you are running. You just need to tell the game server to use the table
named 'suchandsuch' and the username field is 'suchandsuch' and the password
field is 'suchandsuch' etc. The game can thus be configured to use any
database you already use (MySQL, SQL Server, ORACLE etc).

To put it another way, my software will not be integrating with vBulletin.
It will only be using the database table that vBulletin has set up to store
user information. So for example, if you log into your MySQL database
directly (not with vBulletin) using phpMyAdmin or any other database admin
software, that is essentially what the game server will be doing. Connecting
directly to your player data."
