I haz an idea!!!

and there's no guarantee combat will even work.

Is bit offtopic, but i want to clarify this point. Combat does work. Is not "it may work someday", it works. Yesterday i put a replay where the player combats a corrupted, barehanded, and same as real server. The problem is to figure how to do dinamically, and with custom players, anwering your combat actions.

If you need guarantees I may capture into vid. Also, i have some people that saw it in their own client (privacy protected).

On the topic, dont want to talk about money or subscriptions but is common sense that having a main server means cash, someone paying or giving his host. If it has no success we can still have some kind of server at home but the "real mxo" feeling would be... less if existent.

(apart from the devs for hacking this beautiful thing ^.^

I'm not hacking anything, i just place numbers in order and catalog em.
Then i send them when the client ask for it.
Thing would be close to mad mathematician from "Numbers" tv series instead of one of the "Hackers" movie characters.
