Open game possibilitys?

Would it ever be possible to make a warcraft 3 game that you could join and leave whenever you wanted. Like a server for CS or everquest?

You could have a epic map and a town in the middle, then you join the server and leave when you want to. It would use a game catch to save your character, and when you come back you have the option to erase it or continue. This is just a thought of weather or not it would be possible. You probably wouldn't be able to do it on B.net, it would have to be a new Server style like CS.

AngelSaint Is Stold	Like rainbow six, NO this is impossible with warcrafts limited programing

Ligature	Can't use the game cache on multiplayer... people have been working on it a lot though. The best way around this so far has been to use Alphanumeric codes. There's a new program that is supposed to let maps save data from online games, but I haven't tried it yet - don't know how much success it's had...

Vallian88	Well thats not really an issue, I just would like to know if it were possible, with a lot of programming, to make a map that you can enter even if it has started?

I know you couldn't do that with the current B.net but if you were to make a program that could run these special map it would be great. It would be based off of everquest or something like that. I'm just trying to say maybe someone should organise a mod for B.net and begin to make these maps. It would be intresting and I would be willing to help, but I have very limited knowledge on C/C++ and know nothing about Warcraft's programming.

I'm sorry if this seems like spam.

SpectreReturns	Without the need of battle net. Dude it would just take basic tweaking to get it to work on bnet. Just plug in an ip sniffer so that it gets the guys ip and joins it, then connecting it via the old system.
