S~!

Thanks for the link..... I wonder if this means we will have to use HL for SoW .....

I have a feeling its bye bye in-game server browser.

Why? I can't see the connection...

S!

Just hoping SoW will keep the dedicated server option there so we can use HL or similar. In game option would work as well, of course. But I prefer HL for example because it is simple, fast and easy to use. Many games these days drop the dedicated server possibility for some odd reason

As usual the glass is half empty Protos.

Personally I would rather use HL or something similar, only problem at the moment is HL needs moderators, most games have fairly poor attempts at lobbies when they are incorporated into the game IMO.

I think it would make sense to wait to see how SoW actually works online before passing judgement. Ideally, I'd prefer not to be tied to a particular server, but there may be no practical alternative if 1C:Maddox don't release dedicated server software. We'll just have to wait and see...

Wouldn't that completely defy the point of any attempt to take over the FS market? The FS market isn't like the FPS market where's it's all about selling as many units as possible as quick as possible and balls to the customers after that. It's about selling future add-ons and (for combat flight-sims) about multiplayer. Il-2 multiplayer's still doing pretty well after all these years. If there was no dedicated server available the SoW multiplayer game would die pretty quick IMO.

IIRC

Hyperlobby was going to continue to run (were at the mercy of Jiri Fojtasek on this) and there was planned a separate Pay to Play "global server" for a huge online competition, I don't know if this is still planned by Oleg and the team, but I remember there being mention of this sometime ago.

Jiri Fojtasek is taking donations again not via PayPal any more but Western Union if you feel like sending a little something to him

The last link posted above about Western Union is from 2005.

See the title of this thread

Originally there was a PayPal button on his forum, the forums went down some time back, they have re-emerged and I was simply pointing out the option is there once again.

I'm no spokes person nor am I involved with HL so draw your own conclusions, last post for me.
