Can my friends play my server if im offline???

I made a server but my friend said when i get offline it kicks him off the server. Is there anyway i can prevent that from happening?

If you actually have a server then this cannot / should not happen.

I assume you are hosting a multiplayer world on the same machine you use for gaming?

Edit : to clarify : hosting a server instance of 7days to die and creating a savegame with the option "survival multiplayer" is not the same thing

you need to have a rented server as they host it 24/7, ifd your using the free server as soon as you leave all in game will be kicked off

How are you hosting your server OP? Did you actually download the separate 7d2d server installation files and set up the server through that method or did you just set up a "server" through the main game directory itself.

The first method basically creates a true server that runs directly on your computer (or whereever you choose to install it) and your game world will always be online as long as your computer and internet access are always up as well.

The second method creates a simple hosted game that runs directly from your game client and it requires you to have both the game open and you to be logged into the game at all times for the game world to be online. This isn't a true server but rather just a hosted game through LAN basically and all of the information is stored on your hard drive. If you log off the game, it breaks the host and your friend will always be kicked off and there is no way for you to change that through this method.

Wow that is stupid.. there is basically no point in making a multiplayer world because it is still the same as singleplayer.This is just an early access game and they want me to pay for a server just so me and my friends can play on the same world even though one of us is offline.
