Like if someone crashes and gets booted from your game, you have to restart server, then he lags, and gets booted, and u have to restart server again. And not to mention having to load up your last save because if you save w/o him, he will end up having to start over on his char.
Wouldn't it be better if the server is left open at all times while the game is running? Like make the player spawn beside you when they join, and have more options like see who is on your server, being able to kick someone off your server, and ect. Also having more power on your server, and options. Like setting max players, not just easy and safety settings.
Seeing these children on the forums, I would really like that command to kick.

i never play online for reasons like that - I would like to play C&C zero hour online - i would kick butt.. I once watched my 12 year old brother - in a chatroom that was for a certain RPG - he had typed in a line - something stupid, and then kept hitting ..enter, enter, enter - filling up the whole screen where no one could talk - for what reason, i have no idea - makes me cringe to think of playing someone like that online.

what do u mean for reasons like that? I only want to play DL with more mature people, only want the kick command incase some immature kid joins. Maybe a ban button.. mmm.. I'd go into interface folder, and make that button look all fancy.

the one time I played a game online one of the players kept sending messages - made no sense, nothing personal - just cussing for the heck of it 8-) so yeah, if you could kick players it would be good . who knows if i tried online gaming i might be up all night instead of until 3 in the morning.

Really has no relevance to the original question, especially in regard to LAN play where immature fools you don't know can't join the game anyway.
The answer to the original question is absolutely. Players should be able to join at anytime, save their characters at anytime(joining OR hosting), and have the option to save MULTIPLE characters on one machine. There was talk about them discussing a more robust save engine for a future patch. Hopefully, something like that can give us what we need.
