I was thinking i was the first who use peer to peer :-( Sure i don't plan to scale to 1000 players... at least not at the beginning... but i think 50-100 is doable. For persistence, i use distributed storage; the persistent world exists as long as there is at least one player. Jiba -- Pour vous desabonner envoyez un mail a [EMAIL PROTECTED]
