All shall be revealed... I've got quite a bit of free time at last so I might possibly be able to release something soonish.

As for payment, QuestNet server will be available in various editions, with various restrictions on the number of users you can connect. There will probably be a free version for a small number of players, and paid-for versions for more players, possibly with some more advanced features. I can't reveal anything else at present, because there's nothing else to reveal yet!

im only going to give a suggestion on the NON-PAYED version.

i think that the non pay version should have a 15 person limit, you can type a command to kick a person off (of course only staff members can do that), and players are not allowed to change the font (only staff members). when i say staff members i mean creators of the game. and also staff can ban IP's, like doing a day ban are a total Ban by banning the players Mac address, and can teleport players to different rooms (like jail if they are bad lol).

PLEASE KEEP IDEAS IN THIS TOPIC.

I think the 15-player limit for the free version is a little high, personally, but we shall see.

Being able to ban players etc. is all fairly standard server stuff and should hopefully be easily accomplished straight from ASL, so you could set your own command up to ban a player. This sort of thing will probably form part of a QuestNet standard library.

thats cool.... maybe not 15 but 10 should be the least amount if lots of people are interested to see what quest has to offer.
