Hosting a blockland server?
Jay Ray:
Hey guys, I haven't played Blockland in a few years, and was curious about the server-hosting status of the game.
I remember when I played it back in 2007, hosting was such a pain, an I was never able to host a server.
Now, my brother said it is supposed to be easier to host a server? Is this a 100% seamless action, or will I still have to jump through a bunch of hoops?
Thanks,
Jay

Server hosting uses port punching, So you should be able to.
(i love the term port punching.)
Jay Ray:
So, punching = forwarding... right?
Night Fox:
No.
It now uses Universal Plug n' Play, or UPnP.
Makes it so a lot more people can host.
Though I never had to port forward, even before Badspot added UPnP, and I could host fine.
