-Contemporary game servers lack good fault tolerance, furthermore the game
- servers are unable to power several different types of games.
- The purpose of this thesis is to design a fault tolerant, and generic game
- server, which by being generic can power several different sorts of games,
- developed in different languages.
+Today users of network games often experience failures of the servers while
+ playing or downtime due to maintenance.
+ Additionally game developers often perform the difficult task of reinventing
+ a game server to meet their needs.
+ The purpose of this thesis is to to design a reliable game server which
+ can power different types of games simultanously.
