    I'am all in for the client server setup you guys are going for, the only thing i wonder is how will people get servers to play?
    will uber host all the servers?
    will I be able to rent my own servers?
    do I need a dedicated server machine when playing over lan?

    Thanks a lot for making it so clear.
    Looks like quite revolutionary, challenging but very promising.
    If you can make this middleware very solid this could
    possibly be another source of cash for Uber by selling
    licenses for this middleware.

    The prob with multiple windows was when used in sup/com. 1 for main game the other for a large mini map (lol) was you could only mouse scroll in 3 directions. Has this been fixed or sorted then.

    I never noticed, I either used the arrow keys or that big map on the other screen to jump to were I wanted to be.

    Pity it will be quite a while before there is any reason to get one of those.

    Since when is awesomeness a screen more than 4 times the size of my current one with less than half the dpi?

    Since you can then play the game from your couch while still being able to see exactly the same.
    Also, I guess the same argument applies to going to the cinema if you have a 7.1 sound installation at home.

    Trying to read small text on a TV screen burns your eyes, just sayin.

    The DPI is half normal anyways, so that's ok.
    (I'd personally hate to play the game on any screen that far away, just trying to say it's still awesome to have such a screen. For like, you know, watching TV/movies and such.)

    Anyway, this off topicing has gone on long enough.
