No, Sorry sucker... but the risk of a game disappearing only heightens the enjoyment of games that don't end prematurely. Better luck next time! 0 0%

Default Re: Poll: Official Multiplayer Game Server

Re:Paying...

My initial thoughts on payment or gold level account might be something like this:

30 slots are open to the public. Games are vanilla (no mods or non-standard maps). Each person can only start one game at a time, if all 30 slots are not already taken. The "vanilla" approach will also make it easy for non-expert players to start a game and for others to easily join (without having to worry about installing mods or downloading huge maps).

Then people that contribute could *buy* their own slots. So someone that contributes $20 might have 2 personal slots. These would let the player use mods and custom maps.

This solves both the "it should come included with the game" issue while also giving the people that want to contribute something extra for their $.

However... I'm open to absolutely anything if it will get an official server running.
