MC server. [Hamachi] [Vanilla]

[DontCare4Free]

Free hamachi has a 5 person limit anyway.

15, IIRC.

What is Hamachi?
Hamachi is a program intended for incredibly computer-incapable users who want the easiest solution to host servers that would normally require powerful machines on their home computer. This is in no way efficient at all in terms of network nor power.

Should I join a Hamachi server?
No. Your experience in the server will probably be poor. There will be many problems and the server will most likely be down a lot. This server is not run by someone who wants to be a frequent host, nor can they afford to do so. Their lack in knowledge in something as easy as port forwarding likely shows that the server will usually lack a proper setup as well.

Edit:

So why was Hamachi a good idea in the developers' view?
Hamachi was intended for making LAN games playable through WAN. That is all. It was never intended to be an alternative to hosting servers.

I don't think Hamachi was actually made for games.

yes it was

The "painful process of port forwarding" takes all of about 5 minutes and saves anyone that wants to join your server a lot of time. Just do it you lazy bum.

Nope, 1 minute.

Speaking from experience.

Nope, 1 minute.

Lemme go time myself for forwarding some random port... 4567

35 seconds, with making several mistakes. Started timer from when I clicked the start menu, all the way to [Save Settings].

How strange, that's less time than it takes to install Hamachi and set up a a network!

It's painfull because... Oh, hey, I already said why.


Also - To everyone else - I've said it several times in other areas of the forum. I'm only ten, and thus I can't just buy whatever I can afford.

And they refuse to loving buy another router.
