Cinematic Server

Talking about the QA server has reminded me of this idea... What about a player-hosted Cinematic Server? Similar to the way in which certain online shooting and strategy games are hosted, a player would be able to host the server using their MXO client. Then, other players would be able to join and play out their parts. The host (or perhaps someone recognized by the host) would be able to move the "camera", and their character would be, in essence, an invisible object with a field of view and a full range of motion. Other players could create characters with any combination of abilities or clothing items needed for the shoot. Maybe it could even be set up where the moves didn't do damage, but still animated properly (I know it's a pain to keep trying to set up that foot sweep, only to kill your opponent before you can pull it off). Anyway, I thought I would bring it up. It's a rough idea, but I for one would like to see it implemented in some form. Maybe just reinstating the QA server and adding an "invisible mode" with camera controls would work nicely.
