Reconnecting to dropped games

A possible solution for players who dropped the game because of connection problems.

The concept of this tool is to make the player able to rejoin the game after a disconnect. It really annoys not only you but everyone in a game when someone drops. Of course sometimes the player chooses to quit and there's nothing to be done but not all disconnects have the same reason - feeding - because your internet is likely to fail once in a while.

- Varlock, the developer of the popular Ghost hosting bot, has done a successful concept test on this functionality and will work on implementing it for public use in the future - says IceFrog on his blog. It's still uncertain when this tool will launch, but the interest of the whole community could boost the process.

The tool works in a very simple way: the host has to be using the tool and so does the player who wants to reconnect. The technology is portable (in theory), meaning it can be used by everyone playing on Battle.net, Garena and other servers. Also, if you don't want to run the reconnecting tool, it won't affect your games in any way.

Ideas about the subject can be sent to the developer by e-mail to hogantp (at) gmail (dot) com or posted on Playdota forums here.
