Private servers?

[UaintSeenMe]

Pretty simple, cant seem to find much info on the topic...

Does this game have, or is it ever likely to have private servers?
I'm not much for random socialising, but i do have a core group of friends i game with, and frankly i hear a lot about server wipes which isnt going to fly for us.

But if it has p2p private servers, or if i even need a G-portal hosted server that we can play on withou worry of progress wipes, then I'd be all for it.

The chances are closer to 0% than 100%. It just wouldn't really work with the systems in place.

Also, the wipes are soft resets, at the end of each scenario you choose to play. Everything important is carried over, except your level and basic crafting resources.

yeah, i get that its trying something new, but thats just not for us (thats what Alt characters are traditionaly for), I want a little permanence in a game like this and i dont want to be rushed in to finisshing a building project or what ever, just because a progress wipe is incomming.

I mean, great for all of you that want this... just not for us.

Thanx for the reply though.

You can group play/build in your personal instance, called Eternaland. But I'm glad they aren't following the formula if every other survival game, as I can go play those already.

Something new finaly after doing the same thing in the last 15 survival game i played so yea perfect

I get it, but if you played 15 "traditional survival games" then clearly you liked them as they where, or you wouldnt have played so many.

Its always good to see something new, but new isnt always "better".

my personal opinion on this mechanic, is that survival games tend to appeal to the builders and the hunter/gatherer types, with no permanence to that, or at the very least no direct control over when YOU decide that you are "done", I dont think this is going to be popular for many fans of the genre after they experience thier first wipe.

I already mentioned Eternaland, but maybe you aren't familiar with it. Eternaland is a personal space, that you can open up to whoever you want, where everything you build or do is permanent. Want to make your perma base, head over there with your friends and have a blast.

Our Warband has a few with PVP arenas setup, for practicing PVP against each other, in between wars.

They don't want to listen to The players and hope it doesn't end up like The Front.

They aren't going to change the core of the game just to satiate some kids who can't stand leveling and gathering every Season.
The game is literally BUILT AROUND SEASONS.
If you can't accept that, then you're free to go back to the 500 other traditional survival games that already exist.

yeah i got that, but that seems to be seperate and apart from the "game", a practice sandbox/creative mode is nice and all, but it does not a full game experience make.

If thats all i wanted to do, I'd boot up a shared UE5 developer environment.

Like i said earlier, I'm not disparaging the game, its just not the experience me and my friends would be looking for, thats why i asked about private servers.

I do however think that its not going to have the kind of lifespan the devs might be looking for, theres only so many times you can have (some of) your progress reset, before it just becomes a punishing and repetative grind, to maintain your level and seeing your hard work and time wiped away isnt going to sit well with many, if not most of this genres fanbase.
