We want private servers please. Public lobbies in this genre is usually a bad experience

[MisterPrice]

Was about to start the game till i realised that you can't have your own world. such games definitely deserve having your own private world with friends. Looking forward to that and i won't spoil the game till then.

I'm a fan of valheim, soulmask and such. Amazing take on futuristic survivor game. Also why is it free to play? i'm not complaining but how will developers even support upcoming updates and features?

Who's "we". You speak for yourself. There's no "we".

[iqbeastie]

Agree with Pliauskis, you cant talk for all of us. I dont want to have a private lobby! :)

Imagine being able to read... what a twist right, the dude said "We" as in him and his friends... Self-centered clowns

[Sido Olavich]

cant wait for the private hosters to add on more microtransactions.

Why do people want private servers? Just play with friends on a normal server - it's 100% free of being attacked by other players. Even on PvP servers, you can only be attacked if you toggle PvP on.

Saying that your personal wishes are your own and not what the overall population thinks is literally the opposite of being self centered.

i dislike all the stupid squiggly ♥♥♥♥ on the ground... it's triggering asf and breaks immersion; so does seeing all the stupid bases everywhere... if there is no private w/ frirnds i will most likely peace out

What are you even talking about lol, you're an absolute troll

"looking forward to that"
You'll be looking for a while buddy.

Find another game.

If you mean something similar to Palworld, Project Zomboid, and those lot? What you're thinking of isn't a MMO? This is a MMO game tho. Means MASSIVE MULTIPLAYER ONLINE. Valhiem is co-op game(Project Zomboid can do LAN as well) and can actually extend to adding more players, but can NEVER hold a certain amount without lagging and crashing. Let's say the server can't go past 1,500 players without something dying in the process.

Also NetEase won't stand not smacking us with MTXs. Those servers cost money.

The game is really more fun with random people around.

If they allow private servers then those servers should not have access to any shop in the game because usually, people on private servers find ways to get more special currency than they should.

And also, with the seasons and all, private servers would be a nightmare for devs to deal with. I mean, they already have to care about maintaining their own server. If they have to bring updates to private servers specifically, it won't work.

Honestly, private servers are a bad idea in every possible way unless those servers are apart from everything else, dont have access to any shop in the game and just have the first basic story but no update after that cuz devs just won't have time to babysit everyone that don't want to play by the books.

Honestly, just pick a low server pop and you will do just fine at feeling alone and you will have plenty of room for friends who want to join you.

I totally disagree with this take for example Myth of Empires -> you can still use the shop on private servers to buy cosmetics etc.
Works without any problems at all.
Season part common they have to keep to update their own servers as well so they could release those updates also to the private server part.
Then again think most private servers want to get rid of the wipe mechanism!
About abuse of admin stuff just release it with only a few commands for admins/server owners..
Kick, Ban, delete maybe whitelist that more then enough for administrating a server spawn commands etc are not needed...

The thing is the official servers are a bigger nightmare for the DEVs...
As soon people don't care about the shop any more and stop paying for stuff they will bleed out of money cause of the high amount of servers to keep things up.
We saw this at games like Wild Star (Bought game) that did go from subscription (monthly) to free to play with only a in game shop.
Shop did not provide enough so publisher / Devs did close it down..
And we as players are the victims cause the game is gone and all the money you spend for cosmetics did go as well.
With this knowledge I would never spend a single penny in this game till dedicated servers would be supported. Cause only then I would know that if the DEVs would give up on this game I would still be able to play it as is.
