Re: no-ip.com
Huh?
As it is now I had to write a script that displays my remote IP, install a webserver and what not. Just to make sure my players will always find the server again. This is just annoying both for people hosting and playing games. It's already hard enough to get a game going.
I doubt there will be a lot of support requests from people who can't figure out their hostname. I saw the confusion about local and remote IPs though... Most server based games support this "feature" and gamers are used to it. There will always be people who can't distinguish between local and remote IPs or don't know how to use a service like no-ip. But having both options doesn't seem to have a single drawback for me. I really can't understand your point, Gandalf.
Don't get me wrong I'm not asking for a Gamespy (like) interface (though it would be nice). Just a simple DNS lookup.
