MP Game - Humans High Gems Low Magic

[Maltrease]

Taking it further off topic...

Maybe it is just me but I have a hard time keeping up with the games that are not on Mos server. There I can go and on one page look at each game where I have a turn due, and how long I have to complete it.

I'm in multiple games all with different host times. Some games everyone is very fast about putting in their turn, so even though its 48 hour host times, if you waited more than 20 you are holding up the game. Other games are much slower. Its "work" to have to look several place to see whats due and where... and you end up forgetting one sometimes.

I do wish their was a single super server that could handle almost all of the MP gaming. People would still be free to host their own of course, but I probably wouldn't join them.

If Esbens server could contain 200 games and you had the same control that you had when hosting your own game... why would you ever not use his?

I think an official game server from Illwinter or Shrapnel would be excellent idea. You are really not talking about much in terms of cost. Bandwidth is not a big issue and for $2000 you could probably put together a server with a 3Ghz processor and 2 Gigs of RAM.

My thoughts... for what they are worth.
