To all those who want to offer their hosting services (temporary or permanently), the answer is a big, fat NO. This game will not have player-ran servers ever again. People ask why and we have had topics on them before, I'll go through a rundown of the reasons.
1) Security reasons. We have put a protection on our code to where only Brotherhood members can host. Not to mention if we had other hosts out there, they could easily ban the Brotherhood members from their servers. Lunaofthemoon did that with Dagolar, Kija, Mettool, and I.
2) If we need other or multiple hosts, temporary or for replacement, we will come looking for you. Don't come to us asking about hosting or brag about how "good" you are and what-not.
3) Too much turmoil. There are already high leveled characters on the main server and starting over is unacceptable.
4) The Version 4 host files are out there and you can host Version 4 if you want to. It is very buggy, only goes up to the Ranook Graveyard, and has no skills or area spells. So if somebody does decide to host Version 4 publicly, go ahead. It will not conflict with the FF:THG hub. Just don't ask me for the host files of Version 4. Search around the forums and website for the Version 4 host files. You can download them off the FF-THG website.
