  I'm not too sure I follow you.

  I just meant instead of calling it a high score service, it could be used for any data, such as high scores, most upvoted levels for a level editor, or something else.

  Maybe, you would have to speak to the clan people about that though maybe?

  I'm trying to run the example code posted at the top of the thread and for some strange reason I am getting an error stating that it can't find "socket". Any idea what's happening? I'm using Gideros 2015.05.09

  copy it to your project

  Sweet, thanks. The code now runs but not much else is happening. I will continue playing with it

  I was looking at CotC because I'm looking to making a realtime multiplayer game. After a while I see in their documentation that they say it is better for a turn based game, and not good for realtime games.
  
  I have seen noobHub in the forums and could use that but then would need to have a server in my basement or hire one on the cloud. Are there other alternatives?

  I think it has been used for real time, but there is an open source alternative linked on this forum, you will have to do a search though.

  @antix, the Clan guys said the same to me; their system is not ideal for real-time games because the lag would be around 300ms or more.
  
  I'm playing with Noobhub at the moment, which I run on an Amazon EC2 instance (free for one year, after that about $10 a month). The round trip time from London <> Frankfurt is around 35ms for me, which is very good.
  
  If you do use Noobhub, however, be aware it's a client-side messaging system only. There is no game logic on the server. This takes a bit of readjusting if you're, like me, used to pinging the server for information and having game logic server-side.

  You can run noobhub on DreamHost (use discount code 'SINISTERIP' to get a free IP address for the life of the account and $67 off your first year - bargain!).
  
  It's cheaper than Amazon and same ping rates.

  Thanks guys. I had looked at noobhub briefly before I came across this thread. Thanks for the server info too
