First off, it would be the lowest ping.

Second off, that was something that was talked about interally at some point, but that hand over is so much more complicated than it sounds.

Maybe it’ll be a thing in the future, but I don’t see it happening any time soon.

In my opinion (optional) dedicated gameworld server are a better solution for this problem.

Low ping causes less network lag, while high ping causes more. Low ping is a good thing.

As for host migration, it’s been discussed here: [Host migration](http://forums.pixeltailgames.com/t/host-migration/7146)

I’m talking about hosting them in a similar way as dedicated server. I wouldn’t mind hosting both a lobby and a few gameworld server.

In my opinion they should also be linkable to a plaza server so it works just like the good 'ol tower.
