This chat system is very different to IRC - it allows any name which the Blockland auth system allows.

Server location data is now relayed as part of a player's "presence" data. This will store and send data about the type of server, and if applicable then the ip and port. A player's status will show whether they're in Singleplayer, Hosting/playing on a LAN server or Hosting/playing on a web server. You can only use the join functionality if it's a web server - I don't really want to mess around with getting LAN to work too.

I host a server on a different computer in my house, and I connect to it through LAN, but it is a Web server. Would that have problems with it? Will players not be able to connect threw me?

There's some clever logic that happens within the Chat Server to determine whether the LAN server you're playing on is an Internet server or not - so players will still be able to join it.

Thing that sucks with the IRC, you can change your username to impersonate anyone, which leads to drama, you know the drill.
Good thing this doesn't give that option. I hope :C
