+## Server Requirements
+
+The server needs to handle the following content.
+
+* server name
+* server version
+* maximum player count
+* logon/logoff protocol
+* maintaining the client list (dropouts)
+* persistent player data
+* lua scripting engine
+
+#### Game Resource Distribution
+
+If the client lacks a resource, the server needs to transmit that resource to the client.
+
+* map data
+* scripts
+* tilesets
+* sprites
+* sound effects
+* music
+
+#### World Maps
+
+The world map for a server can have any of these features. See [maps](wiki/maps).
+
+* overworld, connecting different locations
+* dungeons, possibly instanced
+* player owned pirate ships, which in turn can travel around the sea
+* any numer of possible maps running at the same time
+* collision detection in each map
+
+#### Game Events
+
+This is an ambiguous section, covering several situations.
+
+* instanced dungeons
+* player combat
+* timed events
+* locational events
+
+#### Active Entities
+
+All entities on the server have a unique, unsigned index.
+
+* players
+* monsters
+* pirate ships
+* loot drops
+
+## Server Architecture
+
+* server metadata
+* map list
+* entity list
+
+* client list
