1) time for a new image maybe?
2) online/offline  - connect() to each world or use some form of status    and show a green or red light next to them?
3) efficiency - is there any way to just download one .tar.gz or something and unpack it

It can definitely be added. I coded it for the forums (but it's a hastle to update with the constant changing of servers).

Should be able to be done on either Autoupdater or Web page, just probably easily managed on a webpage then on the actual .exe.. Just a Server Status Webpage would still be faster then having to try to get on just to let it load up and it not being up..
I'm just here watching..

If it could be done on the actual server popup.. it would be better. So on RPGWO load up, you could tell instantly what servers were online and ready to be played (compared to having to open a website).

Actually, how cool would it be to have online/offline AND number of players online on the server popup?

That would be so awesome.  And mabye a countdown or something for when a server has to auto restart mabye?  Just a suggestion.

Mhm, some servers don't do the auto restart. I know ST had it because of all of the players that were on (ALL of the time).

That would be awesome.. it would trigger more players playing certain worlds I'm sure.

It would certainly help you not waste time...

After you open up the autoupdater, it should recheck to see if it's up every 30 seconds or so to see if it's (back) up from a restart or something... that'd be cool
