There is one extremely offsetting hangup in the entire discourse of this game: No private servers.

Not allowing me and my friend to set up a training dojo where just him and I can practice our openers, and fighting style in general, is I don't know a ridiculously peeving restriction to have! I read on the forums that there used to be private servers too! When the game was pay-to-play! If anyone, specifically the creators of this game can explain to me why, now that the game is /FREE/ you're forcing me to reverse engineer your server's protocol just so I can play with a few friends on a server exactly with the settings I like, well then the only wrong thing with this entire game would be out of my mind.

Cheers, this really is a great game, good work all around.

Secondly, I'm more than capable of investigating the possibility of a homebrew private server. I've reverse engineered many multiplayer games and contributed to two major projects duplicating servers. Its a job of patience, and unless they're already designing/implementing measures against this, its not too much of a techinical one. And if they are, wtf mates, just release a private server.
