Default Re: Poll: Official Multiplayer Game Server

Alternatively, maybe a solution could be come up with to allow a different player to host in the event the original server goes MIA? Seems like it would be as easy as distributing the information in the "ftherlnd" file to every player, so all that would be needed to switch hosts would be to connect to a different server (or email your turn files to a different person). Maybe its not quite as simple as that (I've got no idea how this architecture is, and you'd have to think about server password issues), but something like that might be workable as a future feature. I'm involved in the game Maltrease mentions and talk about a sour taste in my mouth! It really makes you think about the multi-month commitment the host is making even if he's eliminated. Obviously some percentage of people are not going to be reliable enough to follow through on that commitment.
