Increasing max number of players on the server

[PIT_DEFENDER]

Hi i was wondering since the game went full 64bit( and i dont know if it has anything to do with it but thats what some allwise nobody told me xD) Is it possible for servers to go over 64 players ? if i understand correctly each MMO server can hold 200 players so you actually can do it cant you ?;p

Is it possible that this will be added ?

I mean I understand that 64 players is quite a high number but when u think about it, if the server has around 60 ppl during peak times it means there is acutally alot more of them playing than 64 so when JH comes (and i think this game with out JH i total bollox) the server should be able to allow at least 120 ppl or else some of places are undefended while others can ride all across the island and the whole game losses sense ;/

So were you guys (meaning Devs( meaning Saxxy :P)) planning on allowing servers to extend the amount of players, I know that doesnt go well in pair with your MMO project but maybe at least to allow more to join during JH ?

Much Love
Pit

We are only going to officially support 64 players for Your Own. This may change, but I sincerely doubt that.

On the bright side, I have seen mods for more player slots in the past. This was prior to the 64bit upgrade. I do not know how successful this mod was or if it is still available. Maybe some modders will take another look at this since the new addition of 64bit.

There is no real mod for that... Unfortunately there is no legal way to do that.

Also I think this would bring more player to YO AND to the MMO. There is no reason why it could not be raised up a little bit, would be even enough with 100 - 128players.

increaseing the player base for lifyo, will most likley effect how well lifmmo goes, as 1 of its main selling points is the amount of people it can support, so i doubt the devs will ever support it, someone may 1 day crack it,

the closest i've seen is making a waiting list, so if 64 people are connected to a server instead of d/c u everytime u try and join, u get put on a waiting list and the server will say 65/64 but there is still only 64 people phyiscally in the game.

2 things, costs, and who is going to support 64+ when the MMO is being worked on?

I agree with ^^ support is the biggest issue, taking away devs to fix the support. Where as a Modder can support it outside that area for free.

As I said, I can not understand such decisions - because the 2 games are not in competition. They are nearly the same - and I can tell u that a lot member of my community won't play the MMO because u don't have such gm support or other things like on private servers. So I don't believe that everyone who has YO automatically plays the MMO.

Hard to understand? netcoding,coding, database, pulling devs off of one project to go backwards? costs? These decissions are not based on just a simple guy behind his computer fixing the game. This is a company trying to make an mmo to increase the size of servers. Most likely have a budget.

It's not that hard as u will tell us.... Sorry, but increasing the number of player won't cost a lot.

[Barefoot]

As a pro developer, for more than 20+ years, server (and client) side - costs nothing to change 64 to 256, just a number to change, support is something else, but it can be stated in set up that >64 is not supported and that it, need more server power and it should work, just a matter of willing to make a 10min effort.

Now the MMO is dead, so what reasons now to still wait for increased Player numbers for YO Servers????
Give us finally 128 or 256, where is the real Problem to do so?
64 is far to tiny... Sieges can be done only with sooo small groups now, come on guys...

I'm not 100% sure on this and I am not disputing your claim, as I only found out this info because I want the same increase and was excited to see these 128 person servers, but I heard that those numbers are fake, just 64 player servers with a change in a line somewhere to make it seem that way to get more people into a ♥♥♥♥♥ server.

You have seen them, you were exited by them, you didn't play on them, and now you told us "a rumor said it's fake"... Interesting....

Modders put a 128 fake server and the 64 others players and claims on the live map were fake too.... And i've listen than the earth is slim as a plate in reality xD

A dedicaded server of 64 players could be less or more powerful, it depend of the ressources allowed to it.
So 128 players won't change a thing except IF it was the providers of hosted servers who are proposing this service, and it's not the case here.

It was dedidaced servers, hosted by modders, so they put the ressources they wanted yep.
I didn't see posts complaining about this servers test on the forum..., except people couldn't stay on them as it was just for testing the charge.

So if one day, the modders decide to put again in service this sort of servers, this time, don't miss the occasion to see them with your own eyes.
