[HELP]split auth and game server

hey all

i heard that it can be much better for a server to split the auth and game server
but i don't know how to do it if anyone can help me pls post it or add me on msn my msn is on my profile thanks already

"Better", Explain how you mean :p

Haydz i think he means it would be better for a server to code it Authentication and Game servers. And in my experience it is much better to do it this way.

@~jochemke~
In my opinion it would be beneficial to have them separate. The only project 5017 that was released with auth and game was Junior for rage zone if you have and account there i recommend looking in to his server for help.

Split Auth & Game isn't really anything special, for most people its useless. You won't be able to access any auth data unless you come up with a method of transferring it, (either a custom packet or use of the auth responce packet), the only real advantages of having it seperate are; being able to host an auth server anywhere that directs the client to a game server anywhere, your players can have a character on different servers using the same acc and you can host more than 1 game server using the same database and Authentication server. Personally its a waste for me cause I only really need 1 server but I decided to do it for fun cause its something new :P. Even now that i have my server base finished im not using more than one, i may employ a replica of my stable source as a test source, keep my official up test stuff in the test server then transfer to the official if im satisfied etc...

Sorry for typo's my fingers are cold and its delaying my key typing speed :o

No point in trying it on LOTF.
My source isn't separated, it's too much work for me right now, and it wouldn't benefit me. I only have 1 host, who can barely host one server at a time :p
