We thank you for the offer. Please give us a litle time as we would first like to work with Martino and try out using glest.org as the master server before we consider any others.

Thanks

Currently the servers are just a meeting place to connect internet games. The servers are not being written (at this time) to do anything other than list games available to play at a given moment in time. The server computer still needs to open the glest port # on their firewall / router (default port 61357) and clients still need to be able to see the server. The master server (as it is written right now) is a few simple PHP scripts running on a simple MySQL database. This means the masterserver can run on almost any operating system as long as it runs PHP and MySQL.

Thanks

So the servers doesn`t need a good connection as long as it is stable?

With the purpose of the master server as it currently works, yes, the connection does not have to be great.. just average and able to handle as many game startups as the community can throw at it.

A good idea in priniciple but the community is simply too small for localized servers ATM.
