Will shaper "hosted" worlds ( once registered ) stay resident upon the visitor's computer or will they have to download it each time they visit it ?

On a dial-up connection, this will be extremely slow. Not to mention the initial impact of viewing a world "instantaneously" will be lost to them as they watch it render over several minutes.

I'm not sure I follow the reasoning behind hosting the world remotely ( other than allowing the author of the world to make modifications in one location ).

Are there plans to possibly allow the world to be downloaded ( intact ) as we currently do, and just gain authorization to interact with others thru a World's host computer ?

** Are others even reading / checking these boards ? **
