Yes, and I would pay more then $10 to support the project and/or receive a -gold- level account.

Yes, but my reason for saying so isn't a choice the poll writer was smart enough to think of.

No, I don't think ShrapnelGames should be obligated to do this.

No, it is up to community to come up with a solution... but I don't think it will happen anytime soon.

No, I only play Single Player so don't care about a multiplayer server.

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!

Please do contribute what you think of the idea. I, myself, think that it could be a little difficult to have the server use custom maps and mods that the players want to use. I guess the most that you'd be able to do is provide a vanilla game server, where one could upload a zipped map file, perhaps. |

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.

Re: Poll: Official Multiplayer Game Server
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..."
