I think an extended minilogin like shawn mentioned would go a LONG ways to make everyone happy. Yes it would be nise to see the login server source avaliable also, but I don't think it that big of a deal. A second mirrored login server, and the 2nd addresses added to eqhosts.txt should solve the single point of failure. currently the minilogin with 8 characters works to a point, but isn't that great if there isn't comunication between users loging in. 12 or 16 accounts would be great! Allowing small lan parties, or serveral friends on the internet to play. This is expanded more if ther still isn't a check to see if an account is loged in. Perhaps add a check to see if the character is loged in though.
