Of course, if Blockland becomes immensely popular on Steam, that could very well happen. |

Your hosting service being free for everyone would put it in the greenlight imo. --- End quote --- Such as momentary sponsored messages on servers hosted by this service? |

Your hosting service being free for everyone would put it in the greenlight imo. --- End quote --- If all free slots become full, I will only accept premium users, and kick out free users who don't use their server much. That will make room for more premium ones. Essentially, paid users have a higher priority for having an account than free users. Blockland itself doesn't advertise. My hosting service makes up about 0.06% of Blockland's culture. I don't think advertisements would even help if I was hosting Team Fortress 2 or Minecraft game servers. Blockland needs at least 600,000 players for HamHost advertising to even attract 1 premium user every month. |

I could deny write or delete access to the System_HamHost add-on. But people could download the add-on since it has read access, and just overwrite the functions. If I denied read access, too, how could Blockland execute it? --- Quote from: Zeblote on September 06, 2013, 11:35:36 AM ---And blockland has a function to decrypt it. Your point? --- End quote --- I think the authentication server decrypts the product key. The BL program just sends the encrypted key.dat file, and the master server tells Blockland whether or not the key is valid. So you cannot get the clear text unless you have access to BL's master server. |
