I'm not saying that, at all! But I do question what priority it should be placed at. And a large part of my questioning is based not on the value it would provide to players, but rather on what it would cost Shrapnel/Illwinter to create.
Can I ask you - have you ever played an MP game using mosehansen as the server? Personally, I think MP games work on this very nicely. IMO, the biggest problem with mosehansen is not the lack of features, but rather it's limited availability. Since this server is provided by a private individual entirely free of charge, it's kinda hard to complain about that. Bottom line: I would personally place as a higher priority having Shrapnel (or a 3rd party - if such a deal could be done), providing/maintaing a small number of PBW servers running Esben Mosehansen's Dom II web front end. This would be relatively modest in cost, and would greatly improve our ability to conduct MP games.

Well, clearly since there is a sizeable community already playing Dom II, it's not quite a
must have. Perhaps, if Shrapnel found a way to make this happen for Dom III, and the interest in Dom III skyrocketed, and the sales therefore skyrocketed, and the investment in the game lobby were thus payed off - I would be proven wrong. I'm a bit skeptical about that prospect, but I sure would be happy to see such a thing occur
