May I? - A Seperate LoginServer would...
- Allow more private/restricted access
- Allow more ease for the user
- Allow more control over the server
- Allow LAN-login or Minilogin
- Run multiple servers, perhaps?
-edit-
Added an important one.
- To allow hosting on a more reliable server. (EQEMulator.net has been fluky recently)
Theres more but I think that should cover enough for now. |
1: Can be done from your server. See: Winter's Roar's approval feature.
2: what
3: How?
4: Uh, how? The loginserver has nothing to do with the actual server.
5: You can do that anyway.
6: Point conceded. |
Responses to Melwin:
1: Yes but you have control of who can get into the server select, which would allow easy bans over many servers instead of banning 1 person a bunch of times.
2: If there is
ONE server on the server select, where is the person going to go?
3: More Security, who can login, different restrictions.
4: Run your loginserver and connect to localhost? It would be easy. Same with LAN. You just wouldn't give out your IP or only have 1 or more acct.
5: You can, but see #2. If you have servers for particular things, it just would be spam to have multiple listings on a public server.
I am far from the ability to write one, but if the source came out that actually worked (or binaries), I'd grab em.
