Will we be able to still play this without steam?

punishment is important but taking advantage of alternate ways to connect and having several options available to us would allow us to have something rather than nothing... skype is working right now and has not been attacked for example... we can chat over it and information can be shared in real-time over it... why not have a version of 3dxchat that allows us to connect our skype accounts together while hosting the 3d portion of the game rendered locally on our own machines?

I know Unity3d has peer to peer connections. I actually tried to use the unity3d free app to make my own 3dxchat once and took 10 courses to learn how o use it from udemy. That would simply be ddos proof as only you and I would be connected and one of us would declare our computer as the server. We probably couldn't have 100+ people in a room any more but we could get together with a few friends while waiting for repairs like ddos attacks. The hardest part of course was the networking course. There are a thousand different routers out there and ISPs and some of them will just not allow us to use our PC as a server under our residential quality of service. But some of could host. I think that would be an excellent money making opportunity for the 3dx chat members that could host. No more fake gold. If you can host you are a first class citizen and a bank and the rest of us need you desperately. We could use a social service to meet up online and share links to whoever is hosting. My point is that with minor modifications 3dxchat which was built with unity3d could become globally distributed and hosted by its members so there is never any down time.

Thank you XFilou... that sounds like we we are safe

What is a DDOS attack? Are the members safe?

There is no reason we can't be critical of what we're paying for. I heard you can build your own virtual server and stand it up here for $4 a week and that it is what netflix is using. https://aws.amazon.com/windows/ Unity is free so you can download it and make your own mmorpg game from scratch here https://unity3d.com/ You can learn how to make your own rpg here for $10 https://www.udemy.com/unityrpg In my opinion you could probably learn how to copy your room here and paste it to your own server on your own game and learn how to protect it to prevent anyone from being able to steal it if you invited people from here to come play your game with you. That probably sounds dubious and sounds like you're hacking and stealing from the devs here in an attempt to keep people from hacking you but you used the tools here to build what you've made so it's like we're all hacking each other's work. In my humble opinion we should all be hacking each other's works and working together as efficiently as possible so none of us are reinventing the wheel. Of course we're describing second life here and talking about redoing second life is a bit of a wheel reinvention. This place has less lag than second life so they must be doing something right. The characters don't look like wow cartoon stick figures even though blizzard makes 2 billion a year off the poor suckers that play it so they must be doing something right here. Achat has 8,000+ poses and 300+ outfits but you don't have any control there over taking them on and off so they must be doing something right here. Skyrim had 180 devs in the credits at the end of the game but allowed the community to make 3 million mods but it wasn't online so they must be doing something right here. I think we should all stick with it and let the tech and the economy naturally evolve the game. Sooner or later all of our wildest dreams will come true. -kisses and hugs

How do I delete my room off the server?

Please make the f5 camera move slower
