Re: Any plans for an \"official\" hosting server?
YAY MORE SERVERS!
I had a game startup page started but I was afraid of what user-created games could do to my servers. Games could run for months. Even if 1 game a week was started it could overload me if they were tcpip games that were up and waiting for logins 24/7
If run as PbEM games (maybe with a web page upload) then it might be better since the game could be done as a host-then-quit allowing me to spread out the load. But even then, users could create a lot of games. Not to mention the admin headaches of games created but never started, how to decide when to cleanup a game, etc.
