I said I wouldn't do it but being a programmer kinda guy I always reserve the right to change my mind at the last second. So... I am going to change the network protocol for patch v1.004. But I will allow 1.004 servers to optionally be backward compatible with older clients. You will be able to set up a 1.004 server that will only accept 1.004 clients. This is great for matches because you can assure that no one is using any hacks!

OR

You can set up a 1.004 server that will accept any client. The downside is you don't get some of the hack fixes.

Question?
How many of the Dynamix dedicated servers should be configured to ONLY accept 1.004 clients? I'm thinking all but 2 games should be converted. At least this way there will always be a server for those who have not downloaded the patch yet.
