Will there be dedicated servers for the game?

[GlitchyMimik]

I'm wondering if dedicated servers will be a thing so you could just play with your friends or your own discord server. I know some games like 7 days have this while others don't have servers you can host/pay for. So I'm just curious.

presently it is set up as an MMORPG. There has been talked about. Players getting their own solo/co-op.

Do not expect it to be in the next testing (March/April) or for Early Access. I personally do not expect it to be there at release either.

It wasn't till this present testing that huge demand asked for this.

One of the devs confirmed in a stream that they do want to have private servers.

TBH though.... this dev guy... makes me think hes just saying whatever he thinks you want to hear. But maybe thats just me being pessimistic.

Ah okay, thanks so much for the info I was really curious if they did think that far ahead to players that might want to make things more private

If there is no private server option, a lot of us will not be playing the game.

Dedicated servers mean real servers that are exist in real life not peer to peer system.
you are talking about Private servers not dedicated servers, because all servers ( official, private, modded, rented, etc ) are dedicated servers.

Not at all. Games will typically set up a server in the background when you host a game, and then your game client connects to that. You just don't see this. This can then be a public or private non-dedicated server, but it's not peer to peer because all traffic goes through your hosted session

"A dedicated server is a physical server that's assigned to a single organization"
this is from Google.

The term "dedicated servers" doesn't mean only private servers that owned or rented by players but also all kind of real servers including official public servers.
and this game already have dedicated servers because their servers are real physical servers.

OP asking for private server option, which i support.

So, the terminology typically accepted in the gaming world, at least as I've seen it, is as follows:

"Official Servers" - Servers owned/operated by whoever owns the game (devs/pubs/etc)

"P2P Servers" - Servers created via an in-game menu which are hosted by 1 peer and connected to by other peers (these can typically either be public or private, chosen by the hosting peer)

"Dedicated Severs" - Self-hosted servers, either on a server box you personally own, or one you rent from a hosting company (these can also be public or private, usually, and that is also chosen by the server owner)

The OP is asking about this definition of "Dedicated Servers", which is also what I am waiting for, as I own a non-profit gaming community and would love to add a dedicated Once Human server to our list of provided servers.
