Updating servers with FN?

[ReBoot]

Suggestion: a server connecting to FN and not using the last beta package should give it's owner alot of messages in the console, log file and (in listen servers on the screen) telling the owner to install the latest beta package.
I know, they're not often, but there are still some servers using an old MSC-version.

what would be cool is having the client not able to connect to servers with their beta pack at all (via error/warning message). that way they would be forced to update OR forced to join servers that are updated rather then losing items on servers that are not.

that or...we make FN only accept servers that are running the latest patch.

Thothie doesn't want that.

uh........well, thats kinda what everybody wants....they dont want thier items deleted and they dont mind updating, for the most part.

just make the system flexible so in case a future patch is buggy you can allow old patches back in up to a month behind or so.
