Re: How turn Dominions from a niche game to an MMO
Of course as an alt-troll he would simply be feeding me straight line points for me to follow up on.
Such as....
One stop taking over for half a dozen servers would have its drawbacks.
A couple hundred dollars might replace MY server but I definitely would never say something like that about the others.
And as I said, an official Shrapnel server would not be just for a couple hundred dominions games.
And the cost involves more than just buying a good computer. There is also hosting, bandwidth, and paying for the programming.
Then there is the admining. If nothing else, the various fan-run game servers and the mp forums show the amount of administration it would take. Ask anyone who has done it and quit.
Much less the amount of time for being the official "referee" for such games which would also occur.
A few hundred dollars for a server? And that to run various games that are almost a decade old. With a couple of new ones in the works Im guessing they would have to be considered now also. I dont KNOW that they support internet and/or pbem but that is fairly standard for games here.

and pet him, and squeeze him, and name him George.
