Private Servers?

[Omegaprime02]

Will the game be launching with private servers? I'm one of those people out there that get screwed by persistent public servers (I'm a nurse so I have to both work a ♥♥♥♥-ton of hours, which ends up with me being behind the power curve, AND only know my schedule 2 weeks in advanced if I'm lucky, which makes joining a 'clan' problematic), but I've had great success with a friend group that runs a private PvP Ark server.

I am DESPERATELY trying to find ways around my barriers to entry because Sand is looking more and more like the game I've been dreaming of for over a decade.

this will be epic with dedicated servers at launch (and please for the love of God no exclusivity)

[Peatross]

Please have private servers

And Tarkov is getting an official single player mode, your point?

Private server options would let us that prefer pve have somewhere to go so that main servers can be populated by those that actually want the pvp half.

Definitely under discussion with the devs.

Nothing set in stone right now as the focus is on core gameplay currently, but it's a distinct possibility ;)

Private servers would be really awesome to get. My friends aren't good at FPS/TPS games and get frustrated against these youngbloods

I'd also like to request private servers. There is a large, but generally silent playerbase that doesn't want to have to deal with the issues that are common in public servers.

Not to mention that only having public servers in an open world game limits the longevity of your game. After a certain point, experienced player gain enough power and control over a map's resources to make it almost impossible for new players to start out. With no new players, the game quickly dies except for a small group of dedicated players. I've seen it happen time and again in games like this. Don't make the same mistake.

Needs a dedicated server depot with anonymous access day one - full stop.

if not private servers, at least PvE servers with slightly increased difficulty for the mobs.
after my playtest today though, private servers would be the better option. that way people can set up servers wherever they are, rather than having to deal with ping.
