Hi Gary,

I don´t mean with advanced a game with ultra high polygoned models and a
Grafik Engine like ehm Far Cry or Eve Online.

I mean thinks that make Player Groups which are not (only) interested in
pvp make more Needed.

I mean groups like Trader which have to meet with builder to buy to low
prices or sell materials which they buy from miner.

I mean groups like Builder, do not any Station let build more things
that the Standard noob Equipment, let the Player Build this things.

They have to meet with the Trader or directly the Miner for the
minerals.

I mean groups like the Miner, ok Miner do now have a bigger part in the
original Jumpgate.

Netdevil wasn´t able to release the Producture Module for the Pos,  i
don´t know why, they say economy, but the economy can be player driven.

Eve Online and Star Wars Galaxies is a good example for this.

When you say you will use the player computer my thought was wrong that
anyone wo wants to host some sectory this can do.

I think you mean something like "one player enter the sector where
nobody is in it and the player takes over the Sector", is a great Idea
but what do you do when 10 or 20 other player enter the Sector and the
Computer do not have enough bandwith and or cpu time for this?

ok cpu time is less, and when the clients update like an lan game with
udp this can work too, but you have to send all updates from every cient
to every client, not over the host which take over the sector.

>From every Client to Host to Every Client might be to much.

I don´t unterstand the Meta Server thing.

A Webserver with opacma which stores all Data about which Client host
which Sector, all Equipment, all Player Stats and the whole equipment
which is availabe in the Universe?

And all queries over the Website? Any Query use the webserver daemon,
php, any php use the mysql extension?

Or one self coded server which done all the things over an self coded
protocaol?
