  • A Seperate LoginServer would...
  • Allow more private/restricted access
  • Allow more ease for the user
  • Allow more control over the server
  • Allow LAN-login or Minilogin
  • Run multiple servers, perhaps?
    -edit-
    Added an important one.
  • To allow hosting on a more reliable server. (EQEMulator.net has been fluky recently)

Theres more but I think that should cover enough for now.
1: Can be done from your server. See: Winter's Roar's approval feature.
2: what
3: How?
4: Uh, how? The loginserver has nothing to do with the actual server.
5: You can do that anyway.
6: Point conceded.
Responses to Melwin:
1: Yes but you have control of who can get into the server select, which would allow easy bans over many servers instead of banning 1 person a bunch of times.
2: If there is ONE server on the server select, where is the person going to go?
3: More Security, who can login, different restrictions.
4: Run your loginserver and connect to localhost? It would be easy. Same with LAN. You just wouldn't give out your IP or only have 1 or more acct.
5: You can, but see #2. If you have servers for particular things, it just would be spam to have multiple listings on a public server.

I am far from the ability to write one, but if the source came out that actually worked (or binaries), I'd grab em.

C++ is wonderful.
