Hosting a private game

[WhiteHornedRatMessiah]

like im very unhappy by the fact i have to pay money monthly like a suscription to play online on a server and not be able to change rules or options... for example for thepeople who have friends and would like to host their own server why isnt there an option to host a siege battle and have you control an army and ytour friends to or commander battle... like why it would add alot more reply ability for multiplayer and add something more than just death match where its un organized and not very gun after a while... sorry bad english and broke keyboard... yes please bring dedicated servers please so people can coop or play and do stuff with friends and people online

I see, you are currently paying TW a monthly fee to host a private server for Bannerlord. I did not know that was possible. Thanks.

I am not sure what this is about, I doubt Telaworld has any Server services currently being offered. A game development studios should'nt be hosting Data Centers, they would be under a completely different LLC, as that has some legal, tax, and cost implications.

Where is this? When or how did this occur? I don't play multiplayer, but I know of no current private-server hosting being offered by Taleworlds. If there is such a thing, could you post a link containing the information?

What I do know is that Taleworlds plans on releasing private-server hosting files so that players can host their own private servers. (Dev post)

IMO, if Taleworlds decided to contract with a host to arrange for private servers to be fee-based, that's not a big deal and it would seem reasonable to me.

As far as a "monthly fee" from players, not the server owner, is concerned, I'm skeptical that exists and if it does I would doubt it would be something Taleworlds itself did. Though, I can see them managing and maintaining player accounts to require log-in and a third-party connection in order to enable the sale of vanity items and the like, which was something they were thinking about doing. In any case, I doubt it would require a monthly fee as that is outside of the common monetization policies for developers who do that.

Someone who runs or "owns" a private server, however, does have to pay the hosting company unless they're running it on a server they already own.

Previous policy on monetizing private servers to offset hosting costs: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/private-server-monetisation-policy.376447/

If you're paying someone a monthly fee to play on a private server, provide a link with information concerning that private server and its host.

This is absolute nonsense. We aren't a server hosting company and we don't offer hosting services. The multiplayer servers we provide are entirely free to all of our players, and we plan to release the server files later down the line so people can also host their own.

for Warband we wouldn't hsot own servers and private lobbies hopefully mate that would be healthier and more beneficial to the game and also i know its not in the game but playing the campaign with friends in real time would be sick max 10 player so its not so full or go ham get 100 plus servers 200 maybe
