Dan, I think you have a valid argument. Makes sense to me. Jason

I suspect it won't take away from the game as much as trying to run that gameserver over a home DSL line with 256K up will, and for the average private gamerserver a DS1 isn't sufficient and a DS3 is going to run about $4K/month. Personally? If somebody wants to host my gameserver and only wants a Pepsi logo on a wall or a splash screen when downloading, if they're offering to host it on their corporate OC12 I'm all for it. Let the gameserver ops handle the game. Let a little advertising pay for the hosting. That lets the little guy host his server a lot more easily and cheaply than signing a contract with a server farm does, and we get more servers. Not a bad deal. - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings? There ain't no vikings here. Just us honest farmers. * * The town was burning, the villagers were dead.
