Default Re: Poll: Official Multiplayer Game Server

I had a game-creation page that I was messing with
http://www.dom3minions.com/lab/MakeGame.htm

I could probably get it to read the map selection directly from the dominions3/maps directory so that it could easily support maps being added. But personally, Id probably do the uploading of new maps myself. Creating a way for users to type in what they want to upload is a security hassle unless you are using a module that someone else worked out all the kinks on.

What about a Virtual Private Server running linux?

Granted I am not real familar with this method... but I'm guessing for $50-$100/month you could get a VPS that could run several instances of Dominions?

This would eliminate the "who builds it, keeps it with power and live internet connect, etc..."
