Why would someone own a server?

[Astralis L.]

What is the benefit? It's extremely expensive, I think. Do they make money from it?

[Rosco]

People try to make money, especially with the mod by giving starting gear or bases for cash.

Some folks just want somewhere to hang out but increasingly it's players who want to give themselves an advantage for loot and other things but these types of servers get shut down pretty quickly.

Some people just want to have a specific server to play on.
Others rent them for their own clans/communities, for example.

Only the companies hosting the servers are making money from it.

Edit; Damn it, Ross.

does anyone know if there will be fixes to this, so it will be posible to have a private server, like having your own server character info, so it's imposible to get a gear adavntage and so on, there are some ppl that just want to play with their friends in a zombie apocalypse, ofc right now it's not so fun couse there are almost no zombies to shoot, but later when it becomse beta and zombies comes in masses this would actully be fun.

Edit:
couse if you have a lower rate of players (only your friends) shoud not the server be able to spawn more zombies ? to make it harder for them on the server ?

It's planned, but you probably won't see that as a possible thing to do until Beta. (Just my guess.)

I don't get why someone would pay £44/mo for a server for a game that is so buggy.
