A couple newbie questions

[Rhawn]

First of all, this is insanely sweet. I have the jitters.

I'm at work and can't try it yet, and I have read everything there is to read, I think.

Can you play on other people's server or only your own? Reading through the read me it seems like only your own.

If you can play on others, after I connect through the gotfrags login server, will these servers show?

After I install all of this, will I still be able to play on Verants servers, if so what configs will I need to change?

Do characters that you make save?

Thanks in advance....
