    As a side note now that I've got your attention - MM and I don't do anything related to forum admin and sending us PMs related to that is a waste of your time and ours :) Don't do it. I dont care if you have multiple forum accounts, Furai might. I don't care if plzzz plzzz unban me plzzz i wont hack again, Furai might (probably not).

    ...Back to war testing, client's patched.

    Wait why did you need to patch the client? I was under the assumption that you not needed to work out server side bugs

    Or maybe im just slow and a server update requires a client update too

    It's funny how many people think the client and server aren't related.
    The server is running the same code as the client, it just has to do it for all objects in the game, and maintain one half of the network protocol - which the client has to be able to recieve and respond to correctly.

    Any changes to the protocol (for example, a large rewrite...) require changes to both server and client, and any changes to game code require updates for both as well. The client contains the server (this is how local games work) and the server contains the client (though the dedicated server doesn't have a lot of the files needed to run a graphical client).

    However, above, I had to patch the client for the same reason you have to patch classic - there was an update to be downloaded. In the beta we push out patches every few hours while we're working on it so that testers can test the most up to date version.

    The only jargon of that that didn't fly over my head was the stuff directly pertaining to UDP and TCP part, though for the record a slightly detailed explanation of the rest of it would be pretty interesting (Ideally from someone with less important things to do than Geti).

    Hey I'll take any acknowledgement I can get, but yeah MM does a good 55%+ of the work directly on the game; wish he'd be a little more involved with the community side of things but he's a coding powerhouse (at least in terms of total output if not 100% bugfree glory) and dedicated as anything.

    Sneaky clue: twitter

    The devs forgot to code the game, all they've been doing so far is make awesome concept animations.
