What's so special about TCP billers?
TCP billers use a new simpler protocol compared to the original UDP billers. See TCP Billing Protocol for more details.
Can I use subgame with a TCP biller?
No, currently only ASSS can connect to a TCP biller. It is possible to use proxy to convert between the UDP and TCP protocols to allow subgame.
Why is there no ability for the billing server to shutdown/restart a server?
The ability of the billing servers to shutdown a zone server is a relic from the old system. The biller is no longer considered an administrative and control server, but simply a validation system used mainly to control passwords for player names and bans.
Are there any TCP billers available for public download?
Yes, but only unfinished ones.
