Is it possible to transfer data between severs?
BluetoothBoy:
I might be dreadfully mistaken, as I usually stay away from networking, but is it possible to transfer data (chat, score, saves, etc.) between servers in realtime? If so, it could make for a very fun gaming experience, having a multi-server megaworld, perfect for a gigantic RPG or something (without overloading one server or maxing out the brick limit).
Thoughts? Note that this networking jazz would not have to be completely contained within Blockland itself (but if it could be, that'd be great).

I seem to remember a mod that linked the chat or something somehow, but required certain ports to be port forwarded
but yes, it is possible to have servers communicate with eachother, forcing people to join another server while ingame would probably require a client mod though

Ok, that basically answers the question of data transfer. Now the question is, would someone be willing to make an addon that entails the above features? I'd do it myself, except I am not much of a networking guy, so I'd fail pretty hard. ;-;

What are you even trying to do?
What you asked for in the OP is possible, but for what use?
