Client sided saving doesn't work worth a crap. It is slow, can't be used to properly save people when they log out, and allows people to easily cheat through their character saves.

Is it so hard to code a save check for the saves.

It is somewhat complicated, actually, and client sided saves are a system that provide no benefit when a game has well managed servers to begin with.

On Dead World it works and it has more players, that's why I suggest it.

That game only seems to have a single server anyway, so what do client sided saving matter?

Also u can code some kind of autosave procedure, but it has to check if the player is still on the server during the saving.

You can do this, but it is an inefficient and unreliable way to save players.

U don't have to get mad over something that is good in such game types, because u don't understand how to make it fair ;/

Who was getting mad about anything?
The issue isn't with making it fair, I could throw an extra security hash on the file to make sure it hasn't been unfairly altered. The bigger issues are with not being able to properly save players, between the unreliable concept itself, and the reliance on the client to provide their save file (if you change computers, you lose your character), such systems are hardly a worthwhile option.

Games like DMG(Duel Monsters Genesis) have also a huge number of players because of that.

This game also seems to have one primary server, without public host files.

How would making client sided saves help improve player counts in PC? There is already a primary 24/7 server on a quality connection, hosting 50 other servers wouldn't raise player counts, it would just pointlessly split the already small community between separate worlds. This game has no players because it is conceptually lacking, not because it is lacking 50 spam servers with 1 player each.
