Hi guys, I have an idea for HP which I believe will improve the game play and make it fairer for people to play. Firstly, I propose that each server of a user be interlinked in a network, like in real life. Players access the internet from a gateway, which all the servers must go through. Hence, there is only one ip per person, regardless of the number of servers. Also, each server will ping to the gateway from time to time, so that no server is same in an attack. Furthermore, the user can allow people to enter specific servers in his network to share files etc. In this way, many new opportunities can be opened up for both attacking and defending parties.
Secondly, I think that it would be a good idea to form “group networks” which is basically group members linking their networks together. Then, all the networks in the group’s network will have to access the internet through the group gateway. In this way, all connections will be traced to the group gateway and so, any attacks against group members would have to be done through the gateway. This will be a great for defenders as group members can guard their networks from attacks together. However, attackers can also pool their total resources together ( as in instead of just using one server to overload, group members can pool their respective resources together to overload the opponent’s group gateway protects. Once inside the network, well......
I believe that this would be fairer as it is unlikely that there is going to be a firewall/password protects that a whole group cannot take down, and so it will all boil down to real skills at detecting intrusions and preventing people from finding the group network. It also come down to teamwork, as if one group member makes a mistake and let others find the group network, the whole group is compromised. It is also very fair to new players with no group, as although they may not be able to crack into large group’s networks, there is a lesser chance of their ips getting discovered.
