A bit of both. It really depends on the game. Some games are super simple, just launch an executable and hand out the IP. Others are needlessly complicated or just horribly coded. My example game is just an absolute mess all around even just as a player; running a server is no different. And since the actual game is all user-made, sometimes the problem is the server software, and sometimes it’s how the mission you’re running was coded. Sometimes it’s both.
I just use informed delivery. It even can do something you couldn’t just DIY: it tells me what’s coming before it even arrives. Does it just tell you when you have mail?
That said: I just love things that are done simply because they can be done. Especially when they go hard like this. 😃
