I was wondering and I am sure has already been suggested if there is a way to take each FN (What ever that stands for.) server or any dedicated server home made or not and give it a specific map or zone. That map or zone would only be on that particular FN server. Then another FN server has another unique map or zone for it's server and so on and so forth until we have enough FN servers to host each and every map or zone.
Then have each some how (That being the key.) be connected one way or another so that when person 1 and 4 want to go to Thornlands they can without having to wait for 2, 3, 5, and 6 to want to go as well. This would give the feel of a massive world that lets you go where ever you want rather than having to worry about who ever owns that particular server where he or she wants to go or having to wait for a group of others to get to the exit.
Each server would be independent from one another, but all connected to a central server or hub. Obviously I am computer illiterate, however there must be a way to do some thing like that and if not for HL1 for HL2 maybe. It just needs to be found out how and would really put this mod on the map.
However, even if there is a way to do it the central server or hud would have to be huge and would cost a fair bit of money considering it has to take info of all players going to and from each server independtly. Now who would shoulder the price of the server I am not sure. Maybe donations, maybe each person has a spefic pay x amount per month or year. (Like $2 a month or $15 a year some thing to that effect.) Or just ask every one who plays to click on an advertising link and try to get money that way.
It must also be noted that only 32 people could be max (And that is a lot.) per server/map/zone. So if there are 32 in one server and 32 in another and one or two want to go to the other land they wouldn't be able to until someone got out of the other server to free up space.
