Migrated hosting of the Servers to Monky Games local infrastructure.
Previously, servers were being hosted on Digital Ocean ($5 USD per month). Now, Monky Games has a virtualized infrastructure (Ubuntu Server + KVM).
The network connection is also pretty good (Fibre - 1Gb down & 30Mb up). So, Monky Games is now hosting. The only downside is that its located in New Zealand.
So latency won't be very good for most of the world. That isn't an issue though with NautDrafter as the network communication is extremely light.
NEW
Added Dedicated Drafting Servers!
With Great Power Comes Great ...
Now you have the power to created a dedicated drafting server hosted by Monky Games! This should resolve the various UPNP issues people have been having.
However, there are some limitations due to local compute resources.
Limitations:
Only Steam Authorized Accounts can create a dedicated server
1 Dedicated Server per Steam Account
User will have to wait for their previous server to timeout before creating a new one
When a draft has been completed, the server will timeout after 5 minutes
The total time for a drafting server is 45 minutes, after that the server will be killed regardless if a game is in progress.
Players that choose not to authenticate with Steam can still join anyone's game. They can also create their own games locally hosted.
