Hello
Have you tried setting up a server in LAN from in-game? Like everyone, you are always invited to play on our servers, join our events, public or private.
We intend to host as many servers as possible. Our problem right now is that servers are a bit unstable on the current host we use. Most of the time everything is fine. Sometimes, when we have more players playing together, we need to temporarily close down some of the servers.
How often do you plan to play with your son? If it's not daily, depending on availability from you and from us, it would be easier to create a different configuration on one of the servers and turn it on at request. If this doesn't work out, maybe we can try to set up a server for you for occasional use... meaning it's not always online, only when you two play and you have to turn it off when you stop playing.
