So either you have a delay on user data and sync from your web server and game server (if you want read/write functionality and not just read) or you have a delay on load time. MySQL is usually always the better choice in this situation because it will both load and update instantly, and even if you're loading it from a remote database, it's still much faster than loading it through old fashioned FTP. Just saying. On topic: It would probably increase your player base, people like UCPs and fancy web stuff. Make sure you have signatures as well - it'll both get the word out about your server and dedicated players love showing off their stats

Oh I see, well ye FTP shi will have a delay, or slow down a server ;p
