Rumor has it that there's a new function in the universal BT code that decentralizes the torrents. No need for trackers beyond a single connection. Meaning that even if the tracker fails, your download still continues. The XBT Client and BitComet are the only ones that support this feature at the moment. Client coders are lazy.
I haven't heard anything about EA vs. Capcom, only EA vs. Marvel. EA Vs Marvel?!? Who are they going to put? Zidane Vs Spiderman? Kill Hulk by doing a volley? Seriously, what 'fighters' does EA have? WTF are they thinking? (Yes, we've discussed about this before too).
It's funny how the ports of FF have been less than stellar. The character models are more detailed, and the resolution is upped by a notch but that's pretty much it.
I think that you're thinking a bit too complicated now... While everything you say could be interesting and great, I think the current one serves us pretty well (except that I'm very pro about getting items/mony when you kill someone)... However, this is still a discussion board, now a full-fledged RPG mod.
Truth, but alas, for me it takes a while before I can find those free-for-all sites again like SN. Well, even so, we should not despair, as there's always a way to get what you want.
