yea id like to know this as well please not a pvp fan also most servers are to small so end up no area to build but if there huge with pve im game

They're using UE4 so I think it might be something they can do. ARK, Conan and DnL all have player-owned servers. If this one doesn't, I'd be very surprised. I'd also expect the community to request such a feature if it wasn't present.

You can host your own server, yes :)

Outstanding.

Yes as in in-game integrated or yes as in it's possible but we need to do networking for 2 hours aka ARK?

Heres another related question for the devs. Are you going to release actual dedicated server tools (different appID than the game) so that we do not have to rig it like DNL to get it to work properly?

Where we can find information about this ?

Denis kicking butt today!

Here is a few pages about running dedicated servers. It may also be available in the steam > library > tools section. You probably won't see it listed anywhere until 26th.
