Default Re: PBW Down? - Back up!

Atrocities is probably right in that game designers/owners will move to hosting multiplayer games and in particular games played over the internet.

However, my feeling is that it will probably be driven by the need to give consistent and dedicated service to the purchasers of their games who are demanding it.

IMO, we already have that dedication through the efforts of those who are currently involved with the day-to-day operations of the SE4 Forum and PBW.

I, for one, appreciate the time and effort they expend to ensure that PBW will operate efficiently.

But other Shrapnel games which have multiplayer capability to play over the internet may not function as well as SE4.

There may come a time when Shrapnel will decide to host all the games played over the internet (including SE4), no matter how well they may be run.

But that hasn't happened yet, and I have no problems about the personal preferences of the administrators as to the site of the server etc.
