Am I the only one that would love to see servers hosted on PC so that they can be running 24/7 even when the host isn't playing the game? I would love to be able to host a server running from my desktop that my friends and I can access whenever we feel like it. That is one of the many things i like about the multiplayer on the computer version of the game. I would also like custom skins, not just a bunch of pre-picked skins that we can choose from. Another thing that would be great would be to take away the player limit if there were a PC hosted server, and to allow players on the computer version to join the servers hosted on the PC. that would be a great way for the minecraft community to connect more.
Cross platform is all good and well, it's just Microsoft who might possibly stand in the way of that matter. Also, you would still need to have the exact version on both platforms for it to work properly. As for the player limit, that may just be the limitation of RAM on the Xbox (Most of us already want bigger worlds.) Still, this would be a nice feature to have, especially since some of us might have friends who have the PC "edition".
Yeah Microsoft wont go for that. They want to keep their Minecraft 100% under their jurisdiction. Keep it kid friendly and have the ability to ban anyone who makes a public Mega Phallus Porn World.
