I don't know about most communities on byond, but the one's I hang around do not like having guest keys come on. It is seen as a security risk. Now most coders can code something to prevent it, but there should be an option for the host for games that people host themselves. Just a simple check box on DD that allows guest keys if checked.

What if you host using someone else's server? Like a third party provider of the such (eg Slicehost).

The host should have access to DD's commands. It also could be coded to be controlled through a var or something ingame.

All of this can and should be done by the developer, not BYOND. This permits developer choice over the kind of power their hosts have.

What I'm getting is for games that no longer update or games that are left directly up to others to host and not have a set server.
