Woodstock,
We'd love to include HL in our server commander to make it all stream as one. Then we'd be using it right now. But from what Colander has said, I believe he needs to source code. If not, we'll have to wait for the game to get proper dedi files (not connect like a client) so the server can stay up all the time. If we could code it in, we would use HL as we wouldn't have to babysit it. Just an idea.

Hyperlobby is designed to close when all clients are launched by the host ibn Coop mode, in DF mode you select a server and join from a list.
It remains idle until you close the mission and everyone reconnects to the Hyperlobby automatically.
The purpose of HL is to have a place to fly from with a community spirit.
For many casual pilots this isn't a requirement but for squads and CooP pilots its essential.
CoD offers dogfight (MDS) type of gaming at the moment so its fragmented the community in as much as pilots in IL2 1946 are not moving over because there's no CooP mode or online war scenarios as they have been used to for the last 10 years.
Fundamentally Hyperlobby has been the place to meet other squads and organize CooP & online wars for a long time and to find CoD has no such function only Dogfight server mode its a big drawback.
Too many CoD is just a slightly interesting game due to the fact there's no CooP gui, in fact personally if it remains so I wont be flying it and will stay with IL2 1946, and many others feel the same too.
Ok enough of the "spirit" thing and back to the chat thing.
Its purpose is for everyone to talk to each other and share information and have some fun !!!!
Having it running in the back ground isn't necessary to be honest as I think Woodstocks intention was to create more of a community with CoD as we have with Il2 1946.
