It would be absolutely incredible if you could have seamless webclient switching. Something like a redirect to another page via a proc in DM. It could pass a hash of the computer_id and hub_password and give it something like a 60 second expiry token.

If used it would skip the ad and login, and for the most part (Aside from browser refreshing, I guess) look like a seamless world-switch.

This (with a little bit of savefile handling) would be incredible for multi-server worlds.
This would be a great addition to both the web client and dream seeker. Seeing the loading of resources and an ad when switching worlds is not ideal, especially when you want to create a multi server load balancing setup that you wish to keep seamless.

The loading of resources should be done in the backgrund before the switch. There should be a way to check the percentage on that too so we can have our own loading screens.
To clarify, the reason why it passes the computer_id and hub_password was so the receiving server could confirm that this was a client that should be transferred seamlessly, and skip the ad and, and it would be great if it set a const var on the client so the receiving server could handle a non-new client. Skipping login and things like that, though in theory that could be done with savefile manipulation.
