1) File is hosted in a way where mods/admin/whoeverisinchargeofthis can edit it
2) When the player starts the game, it loads the server list and displays it for them
3) This allows mods/admin/whoeverisinchargeofthis to keep a list of multiplayer servers for everyone and removes the need to constantly spam the IP of said servers into the chat box or on the forums. This also means that many more people will be exposed to said servers so multiplayer traffic should explode.
