Petition to devs against loginserver

[Artadius]

This is an open petition to the developers/coders of the AGX/EQEmu project to work on and release a workaround so that users of the emu are not forced to use a non-local loginserver to get into a local server.

There has been quite a bit of uproar about this limitation of 0.2.0.

If you agree that you should not be forced to login to another person's server just to login to your own local server, please add a reply to this post. Feel free to add comments as to why you feel this way.

Some popular reasons as to why some folks are upset about this limitation are:

-Some users run the emu on servers which have little or no access to the internet

-Some users are wary of keeping an open gateway to a stranger's network

-It just takes up time

-Some international users are charged on a per connect basis to their ISP and want to avoid said charges as much as possible

-Some users just want to quickly test some database changes and don't want to have to worry about locking their server, or keeping unwanted login queries away

Recent comments from some of the coders lead users to believe that a localhost version of the login server is quite a long ways off. Many of us feel that this should be a priority now that they are forcing the emu users to use a non local loginserver.

Thank you.
