ACWraith	"Cracker" might be a better choice of words. It refers to someone who cracks into networks. Hackers often get offended when accused of this. They are often too busy coding anyway. ;) Anywho... I apologize for trying to correct this term istead of offering a solution, but I have not yet used IP much. To tell the truth though, some people might be more comfortable if you used fake addresses.

I know i would. My IP is mine. i dont want just anyone knowing it. i suggest that on login you give them 4 random numbers like an IP then add it to a world list and have it check and see if that combination of numbers is already in use. I will not play that game if it has my IP get put in a var O.o oh and, yea its cracker! not hacker!

Kunark	Also, no one will want to play a game that just reports their IP to other people so they can use other hacking programs to kill their PC off. It might be fun to accually make a game with, like was suggested, random numbers that represent their mob's IP. See who has the hacking skills, using different in-game hacking devices, to get into another mobs in-game computer. That might be fun :)
