Yes, we definitely need a way to build MP Server communities. I've had a server up nearly a month and barely anyone plays on it except our regular folks. People want to join a game in progress, not wait 45 minutes.
How about a server setting to allow it if the server admin desires? Or, at minimum, allow the server op to set up "respawn ability" in any map, and let the map run all day if he wants. People can pop in and out at any time.
Without MP enhancements, the game will die. Nothing worse than waiting 20 minutes for a game, and bothering people playing for information on how long the wait is, and then having the server admin take the server down on you.
