Regardless of how easy it is, how is that by any means practical? How many playerworlds on the classic tab are really going to let Joe Shmoe have NC access? GS2 should really be supported offline so we don't have to rent out server space to begin with.

There is a testbed server for people to practice on, but if you want to continue with making a server you need to rent the server space.

No one is stopping you from starting it up.

Yeah, and I'm not shelling out money to create content for a game that I don't own. If it was free it would be another story. Everything you can do online should be supported offline. It only makes sense.

I agree, and I've been trying to push this for quite a while.

I want to see this game succeed. I wouldn't be here after all these years if I didn't. They keep changing things that don't need fixing. The old website was perfectly fine, the flagship servers when they first came out were worth the money but over time they abandoned them. I don't understand why they can't just stick with something. If it works -- don't fix it.
