official servers?

im tired of working hard to build and then community servers shut down. does this dev team have official servers, always up?

If you enjoy working hard and setting up and creating a beautiful base, then why not do it solo? You can even turn OFF the zombies if you wish, then turn them back on once you have the base the way you want it.

A community that isn't a community is less fun than being with someone you know and trust... yourself! It's just an idea, ... and no, there is no official server because 7 Days to Die is really meant for one player, or for 8 or less friends to play together in a co-op situation. It's not really designed for server play.

No official servers, and there likely never will be as it is primarily a singleplayer and Coop game expected to be played primarily among friend groups. It's not like minecraft where you're going to have 50+ players on a server, this game is built for up to 8 players tops.

If you want a stable server you know won't disappear, run one yourself; then you always know it'll be upw hen you wanna play.

Given the cost of hosting servers for this client, and the limit of 8-players, I don't see any indie company throwing up a few thousand servers like Wildcard or Funcom does.

It's not likely you will ever see "official" servers. And if you're familiar with playing on actual official servers, you're familiar with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that goes on there and why official servers are just as bad, if not worse than private community servers.

Even if they were able to pull off official servers, every usable piece of terrain would eventually be swiss cheese and POIs everywhere would be reduced to rubble.
Restarts would still be needed periodically making the whole concept moot.
Private servers result in basically the same outcome at a fraction of the cost.

Most servers are private between friends to avoid drama of randoms

Hope as much as you want, there never will be since this ain't an MMO.

Again, this game is designed for small group co-op. You aren't going to see official servers. That would be silly, and a huge waste of funds for an indie developer.
