Remove the reliance that LAN servers have on Minecraft.net. LAN servers are mislabeled as LAN servers because you require the internet to play on them. When logging into a LAN server if you aren't connected to the internet you will log in as 'Player'. Two 'Player' named players cannot be connected to the same world at a time.
It would be nice if LAN servers were actually LAN based and didn't go down when Minecraft.net decides to stop working every few weeks or so.
You know, I gotta agree with this. I really think the only times we should be required to go to the Authentication Servers is when we try to update the game or play non-LAN multiplayer. Minecraft has a surprising amount of DRM (regardless of how easy it is to bypass) for the creator to have encouraged piracy of the game at one point in time.

That is correct; I got a computer based course in school at the moment and EVERYONE has a cracked client. Minecraft.net is blocked by its firewall and forces piracy on people if they want to play LAN servers. So that's just my two cents on why that is right.

I would love it if you checked out my "about me" page on my profile and looked at my threads I'm always happy to see new posters.
In my opinion, when people in Offline mode try to connect to a LAN server, the host would be "Player" and anyone that joins would be Player2, Player3, Player4, etc.

That would work just as well. It's not like you need your actual User Names when you are playing with people in the next room in the first place.
