What I'd suggest: - introduce user accounts, to group characters - let the client gather login, check if account exists, then either ask for password or help create account After logged in with user account, let select character or create a new one. Maybe ingame already - like in a map. Any volunteer to code? :) Nicolas -- http://nicolas.weeger.org [Petit site d'images, de textes, de code, bref de l'aléatoire !]
