# Conversely, make sure the following ports are opened in your router's security settings:
* UDP port 1024-65535
* TCP port 8040-8049
* TCP port 10622
Yes. 65535 is the last port on a router. They are telling you to open up UDP ports 1024 to the very end. What percent is that? 80 percent open? They want you to open 80% of your UDP ports?
Is there something about UDP that is safer than TCP? Can they possibly use all 60+k ports? That's fucking stupid. Seriously, who designs a game like that?

But they've done some interesting mechanics that I want to see. Just cuz it "sucks" doesn't mean that they might not have some interesting ideas.
I'm sure there's plenty other problems besides the pvp, but again... my main point is to see what something like public quests are. I forgot what else, but there's a couple other features they created that sound like potentially interesting.
