I've never played SFC online but having a persistent map game would be pretty cool, especially since SFC2 CE can be purchased online (or is it advised to use the other versions? I haven't kept up).
It could be fun to have everyone play the same race and work on conquering the galaxy.
I rent a Server 2019 VDS I could do this on if possible.
Side note the capcha and 5 security questions are overkill af
