Just thought I'd emphasise that since people fail at that these days.
Anyhoo on topic, even though it's unlikely to happen I'm unsettled by the idea of people being able to make/host servers that can distribute QI & TC. I can see why some people would want one, but at the same time I can't see the point in it.
Pretty much everywhere has a net connection these days, the game doesn't using much bandwith so following Hampa's route would result in them having a 100% private server (it wouldn't appear on the lobby) that they can do whatever in. Keep in mind that (as already stated) the farmer protection would still be enabled so there would be no TC or QI available if you were all on the same network.
Someone could give a go at making a 3rd party server app, Junt's provided loads of info on how the servers work & there's loads of talented (read as: LAZY!) programmers in the community.
