this isn’t about anything specific, this is just a general question.

i always assumed that multiplayer wouldn’t work on pirated copies of games, or at most you’d have to play on specially configured servers. but the other day i saw a thread about a game where online multiplayer works even with pirated copies, and now i’m curious about how often that happens.

i understand that every game is different, and i want to know: what are your experiences with online multiplayer in pirated games?

I play MC like that, You can use mods to implement a type of login where players have to make a password for their name and have to login with it each time they connect. this wouldn’t help with players joining with different names as ban evasion but no one could pretend to be another player without their password.

Lol sounds like /nickserv on irc
