How do you set up the server side of an online rpg? I have a reasonable handle on how to program an online capable game, but have no idea on how to create one that can go on constantly so that there could be an actual world for users to log on to. If any one knows of a good tutorial on this subject, where you don't have to be a brain child to understand it, it would be greatly appreciated and noted in the credits of the finished game. Thank you.

You set up the server on you're comp, then when a player logs on with the client program you get the client to send a message to the server with the username and pass, then you get the server to check if the username and pass matches the one in it's database.

Ok. That makes sense, but would this work for a constant world like everquest, or just a basic "deathmatch" type of world where once the game is over the server is no longer needed?

Wait one sec. You only need to make your own server when you make a game where you need to save. Because otherwise you have to have the save files on your comp, and eventually they'll be hacked like a tree. If its a game where you don't need to save, use one of the moo servers on www.3ee.com
