that is a relief. I didn't want to help create something that would not be good for a system like this. I was thinking that if It got to a level where we do have a huge number of torpark users, then we could branch the torpark people off to useing only torpark servers. But that isn't a very realistic idea, as it would require a huge number of people online at any one time. but who knows, maybe something to watch.
