I was wondering, how does a person get a game to recognize the host's name in the world/name

I have tried things like this
world/name="Game Name - (Hosted by: [host_name]"

but that doesn't work. how could i get that to work.

Try something like:
client/proc/CheckHost()
    if(address==null||address==world.address)
        src += typesof(/mob/host/verb)//if you have verbs
        host = src

mob/Login()
    ..()
    client.CheckHost()

var/host = ""

world/name="Game Name - (Hosted by: [host]")

You may want to put that into the world/status though. Putting it as the world/name could cause problems.

Bzzt, wrong. Do:
