you have the option to run a private server

[bwaite43]

there is a document on their discord. its not quite like ARK, Conan. I'm still working thru on getting it up. Looks like you generate the file from the private server tool. I'm still copying the files over to my dedicated server but I think you might have to buy another copy of the game. I wasn't able to pull the files from the steam CMD.

It is an mmo. It has the OPTIONS to host a server from the game menu, for just yourself or for friends too. You can play official server on a shard with PvE (as well as turning on consensual PvP) or just vanilla PvP. Huh, what about that, huh? Huh?

Ultima online also was an MMORPG and had the option to (legally) make private shards. MMO is short for "massively multiplayer online", which basically just means many (hundreds) players playing online on a platform. So it does not describe if you play on an official or public server or a private one.

why you gotta bring that old ass game up ? (just kidding) anyways it wasnt very clear upon release but they made it clear on their discord.. Actually it really isnt clear on their store page either but.. you can host your own private server like ark, and conan

1 - Launch the PrivateServerTool.exe located in <Game Directory>/PrivateServerTool
2 - Configure the settings as you see fit; Change the port to 4 digit ports to fix Steam Error (IE 5888 and 5889)
3 - Once your server settings are done; hit save. This will create an ini file with your server parameters. Save this for later.
4 - Click "Start Server" This will generate a .bat file for you to launch your server!
5 - Launch the server using the .bat file created by the program. Once the server loads, shut it down by hitting Ctrl-c in the server window.
6 - Open the INI file from earlier and copy the contents.
7 - Browse to <Game Directory>/WindowsPrivateServer/MOE/Saved/Config/WindowsServer
8 - open the "GameUserSettings.ini" file and paste the contents of the original INI at the bottom.
9- Relaunch the server

LOL i did that in less steps; not sure what difference it holds but im in playing solo

1. Launch Game
2. Hit Create (Custom) Server
3. Tool Launches
3a. Change settings such as First 2 lines that appear I changed names. I also clicked Basic Settings (left pane up top) changed name there too (servername). Also i added a small password
4. Click Save or launch Server
4a. Folder appears and it tells you to run "PrivateServer.bat"
5. I usually wait til a huge slew of yellow lines appear on screen
6. You might need to relaunch game client; Click Private Servers. Type in your server name (may need to hit refresh) click join

LogSG: Error: ASGGameMode::RegisterServerInfo GameServer to ServerList Failed! Server Outer Address Error! im getting this problem in privateserver.bat after all lines finish

[Zexunde]

I kept getting the Server Outer Address error, I turned P2P off (tick box) in the server settings tool and all is fine. Server starts ok now. Launch game, custom server, find your server in the list. :-) Oh I also changed the server Ports to 5188 and 5189 (from 51888 / 51889)

You don't need 2 copies of the game (was a query further up)

I want to run the server for this game on a separate computer that is not my client. I need to set it up by the use of server files so I don't need the graphics files. Does someone have the SteamCmd files so I can set up a dedicated server? Not a Co-op machine on my gaming computer.

Ultima Online still is a MMORPG.
But you could never legally make private shards, they just didn't pursue anyone who did.
All the private shards out there use reverse engineered code, they never released the server executables to the public.
