This might not be the right question to be askng the Fenix users because i dont know if Fenix uses sockets. But if anyone can contribute... What do u believe the most appropriate way to set up a socket server/client connection is? Capabilities need to be: 1) Each computer saves personal character info (not in global database) <- this parts obvious 2) Connect to a server 3) inform other players that you've joined 4) inform other players of your status Basically everything... what should the networking system look like? example of how i do this. [server] <-----> client ^ | | v client Is this the only possible way? What are you opinions... ____________ SHALOM, MA NISHMA AcHI!? |

for game coding the server/client and peer to peer methods are probably your best options.

Does it make sense for clients to connect directly to eachother? aka have each player be a client AND server. So everyone reads off everyone...?

If you are making a MMORPG, that's not really helpful, as in theory, you could have thousands of clients. Client/server is the best solution in this case.
