Bringing the gaming community closer on MoTK through private battle.net
Ghaleon:
I don't play any b.net games so no here. But if I did I'd be happy to play along with you folks.
However, I must ask what the benefits are to having such a dedicated server over just having a private channel or something on theirs? I mean from my experience blizzard's servers aren't slow, so. What exactly would you people gain to justify the cost?
I don't mean to buzzkill I'm just curious.
I expect to be playing diablo 3 when it's out though.

Well for the DotS people at least they don't play on BNet proper due to the geographical disparity of the players, they tend to play over Hamachi/etc. They've been having all sorts of problems so the idea of an MotK BNet server was (jokingly) brought up.
I've been itching to run an MotK Starcraft tournament for a while anyways, so it was like kill two birds with one stone. I also need to desperately move Nethack to its own box anyways and I've also thought about (re)starting an RO server, but the resources required are far beyond what little we have left on Triela. So really this isn't just for BNet but for really any sort of community server, depending on what resources I can secure.

Sadly, I don't play many Blizzard games online. In fact, the only game I reliably play online is Team Fortress 2. Maybe I should change that...I do have Warcraft III around here somewhere.
This still looks like unto Cool Beans, though.

An MotK Diablo 2 ladder could potentially 0wn. I refuse to play on the official ladder due to gratuitous abuse of dupe bugs and the town PK bug.
