Local authentication server.

Minecraft.net authentication server have proven to be quite unreliable which gave me the idea to have a contingency when this happens. Why not have a plugin for the gameserver that lets you login via username and password as an alternative to the poorly maintained central server. If the issue is the fear of piracy, it could always be restricted to [if username matches previous login IP address then allow login if MC servers are down]. b That would allow at least 90% of us to still be able to play. And also on the topic of piracy, as the servers have been down all day, the only people who can play are the ones who pirated the game and are playing on hacked servers. Besides the point, I think Majong has made enough money already to pay a competent system admin if they chose to.
