Hardcoded Host in NetworkMonitor about lance HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @ambrons this was intentional. The effect of this code, is that if the game supplies the option countConnections on the server options, then the game will send a message to a lance server which counts how many players have connected wordwide.

See the constructor documentation for ServerEngine at http://docs.lance.gg/ServerEngine.html

Okay and why exactly would I want this to happen on http://ping.games-eu.lance.gg:2000 rather than on my own node server?

it's a simple ping to our lance server, to let us know if players are connecting to the Lance sample games.

Still, I agree with ambrons that the address shouldn't be hardcoded. Since the pinging code is directly in the library rather then in the example, it should be configurable.
I also wonder what the GDPR says about collecting this kind of data without user conscent.
