Messing around with Generic Types, Thought I'd share this fun function
Unity's package is, from what I understand, an imitation of Mirror (which is kind of ironic given the name) but I don't know if they have improved it since I last checked. At that point, you might want to consider Mirror instead.

Spent April learning Unity, started a little dice roller to show off the dice my brother designs
Multiplayer is something I've wanted to try, just so other people can see the dice rolls that each player makes. I found a cool multiplayer library that I hope to try out later, it is called Mirror ... is that what you use? https://github.com/MirrorNetworking/Mirror

Creating an MMO. (Looking for wisdom)
I'd suggest getting an experienced developer on board, one that has worked with networking before. Multiplayer games are hard to buid. Regarding networking frameworks, I know Mirror for Unity has been tested for an MMO use case. Not sure about Unity's first-party Networked Game Objects solution.

Are you using AsmDef assembly files? If so make sure you have Mirror.Transports.asmdef referenced in your main (Source folders) asmdef.
