Weird Idea, need suggestions [To developers]

[Danco1990]

I was thinking about making a client for all ep 4.5 servers, working updater for all etc. After this i wanted to get ONE logon server up, and ALL the PServers as subservers on the serverlist when you logon the main logon server. This way there will be a shared database, that will ease they payload, and make it a bit more lagfree for everyone. Can i get some suggestions on how or if its possible, and are there people that like to volunteer? I do these things to help people and have fun, not to earn money, so itt'l be volunteering only...

Sorry for my random talking, just a random idea i wrote down, hope you guys see future on this. We could even add ElitePvPers on the updater!!!

While it is possible, the problem lays in the fact that the pservers all have different drop rates/xp rates/stats etc..... So a single common database won't work, not without some very tricky sql programming.

[Danco1990]

Thing is tho, you can have a single login database, and replicate it on the actual servers, so like a realtime DB connection between login and normal SQL's. This way the login server, which i like to call Matrix, will have ONE goal only, to send the person to the proper server and DB. This way everyone can keep his or her own drop rates. (Think about the Evo low/mid/high servers). This way there will be a single client which people can use to figure out what server to play proper instead of being dissapointed after going through ALOT of problems searching the proper server.

(Also, when login server replicates the accounts, there is no actual registration neccesary on each server, only on the Matrix)

Hope i cleared my idea out a bit.

There's too much corruption and distrust between other servers, as you've seen in other threads, just won't work out, though I like the idea, it doesn't seem probable.

Hmm, well either way, we have to find a way to work together, we got over this hack problem, im sure we can get over our personal problems, don't you think?

[SiggyMaker]

We didn't get over the hack problem just yet. The hackers are still on the move and not all pservers have read/used your protection yet so. Might take a day or two. And idk, this might not work too great =P

The thing is I like: Running game, typing password, pressing enter, pressing the up arrow, pressing enter, picking char, game start and play. Much easier than if u have 2 search for a server, isn't it?

Also you would have to download any if you wanted to play on em. Like: I have Eternity, but not Trinity. Can't play Trinity, but can play Eternity.

Doesn't seem like a possible idea. I suck in programming so i might be wrong tho. Think bout' it.

Thing is, when the servers dont make visual changes, like most servers dont have, they work on the same level, the only different things are the game.exe because of the login server. Look at this:

If we change the game.exe like this, we can hold up to 4 servers WITHOUT any editing, just proper redirecting. Also people can meet eachother in the linked battlezone if requested. OR even block out a certain server to avoid cheating with items.

This way we can let some servers group up, and even work together to make eachother better. I honestly believe we have to work together ALOT better. I have not seen alot of people help eachother except for the bigger names, and yet they run their own servers. Why are they big now? Because they offered help and made status. By linking eachother youll get even more people, and its only 1 mouseclick more on login.

Anycase, this is what i think...

True, we needa help eachother. Sorry I'm a total programming noob...

Also Danco check your inbox xD

I agree totally we should talk to all the server devs see what they think

[EvilWarriorReturns]

should talk to them and see what they think
agreed with hackin here
