Modern Commentary
So, why is this story called "The Universal Server"?

Final Battle Adventure Online was in both You Say it First and Namir Deiter. The game had regional servers which meant that characters from one comic generally wouldn't run into characters from the other. Joy takes extraordinary measures and might need to use a VPN.

Over in Namir Deiter we mentioned a new Universal Server, where folks from all the regions could play together.

I wish we had mentioned that in this comic too, since we were teasing a proper crossover. - Terrence
