Network Play
Silver Knights has developed a cult following online. Silver Knights uses DirectPlay as network method. Fan-based websites have developed a player-supported community. Network play typically requires additional technical setup. Support pages are available from the developer to instruct new users, but such pages only instruct according to specific routers and firewalls in Japanese. Therefore, for users who do not speak Japanese, setting up a router can be difficult. Many users elect to utilize Hamachi, a freeware VPN client, to directly connect to other players. However, players not utilizing Hamachi cannot connect to Hamachi-enabled host, and vice versa. Recently players use Comodo Easy VPN as an alternative to Hamachi, which is unlimited in network size unlike the former.

Famous quotes containing the words network and/or play:
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
“Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
