Webserver that stores game information

So i am thinking.. or more then anything, planning. What if i made a server that enabled you to save information to it, would it then be useful in a way? It could be anything, saves, high score, dynamic game assets, sudo multiplayer, chat or community communication.

It would ofc be VERY time consuming to make something like this, and there should be real practical applications for it, not just the ones on top of my head. But if a lof of users like this idea, i will strongly consider it.

Timeframe... well... i am programming 10 hours every workday and starting on a big project in the evening is not likely, so this would have to be done during weekends and therefore it will take a few weeks before anything can be ready for testing.

On the technical side, I need to create a RESTful API service that lets users with a API token (maybe generated from this website) have access to the database. You would save JSON data to the database, and there need to be a Core plugin for communicating with the server, then you would need to extend the core plugin if you want to do something else with the data you get back.

I would like to use this as an communication tool, like a in game mail box.
 
If mmorpg isnt technically possible just yet with the addition of js it would be cool that if it would atleast be possible if players of the same game could send mail to each other may sell or trade items ..possibly a auction house
