Default Re: OT: Stardocks Fantasy TBS

Okay some bad news guys... any multiplayer gamers which have been interested in Elemental:WoM may want to voice their opinion to Stardock regarding a sudden change.

http://forums.elementalgame.com/352655

Here is the statement from the above link of Elemental journals which has struck fear in hearts of ALL multiplayer gamers of the Elemental community:

================================================== ================

BRAD:

That said, here are a few things that multiplayer in Elemental will have:

1. Multiplayer games will be hosted by us. Period. No peer to peer. Not even hosted on the user’s box. Our servers. No ports, no proxies, nothing. We’re hosting it.


================================================== ================


Basically it means all Elemental:WoM multiplayer gamers MUST rely on the stability of each players ISP involved and the stability of the servers at Stardock for playing multiplayer games. I'm shocked such a sudden harsh decision was made from a company of developers who reportedly love playing Civilization_IV together... a game which clearly offers many multiplayer options and it's sad Elemental won't receive the same love.
