## Why this fork? (Project Goals)
|
||||
|
||||
ZetaGlest forked from MegaGlest at v3.13.0-dev ([12998eb](https://github.com/ZetaGlest/zetaglest-source/commit/12998eb10f6447ac89a45d1e6d76f17946647b7a))
|
||||
|
||||
Because we love MegaGlest! We wanted to take the project into a
|
||||
slightly different direction, and therefore we forked MegaGlest into
|
||||
the ZetaGlest project.

When serving a running game, a headless ZG server uses almost the

recommended not to try connecting your ZG client to a headless server
