[Blocker] No External Networks Connection Verbs

[biscuitWizard]

Many games, and maybe all of them, require the ability to have verbs that open TCP sockets as listeners or to establish outgoing network connections at the verb level.

I understand this is contrary to your vision but it will present a significant if not insurmountable barrier of entry in limiting adoption of your server.

Games like Torchship use sockets to talk to external simulation layer services like our login server which uses TCP and not REST to communicate. Similarly, our space simulation server which is written in Rust also uses TCP to communicate with the game over a custom messaging protocol I wrote for that specific implementation. Which would be unideal to move to the server layer because it's iterated on so frequently it would result in significant service downtimes or stability issues during testing, which verbs offer in safety on the VM.

Other games use those connections to talk to things like mail forwarding agents.
