Can't host your own Dedicated Server?

[Cipher]

2021, Seriously make people pay for a host. When some of us have server boxes at home lolz! That turned me away sorry, and I'm sure many more people.

They've said server files would be released at the earliest after the game hits 1.0. Just have to wait.

Clearly I read that it's just a very bad move. But hey money money money!! Games that do this lose so many potential players. Some of us stream and others run Servers for a living :) And most paid hosts are Garbage ask any community that. But us Dedicated Hosters put money in our boxes not share one box with 5-10 other server hosters lol.

Server files will be released after 1.0

The worst thing is that we are forced to use virtualised mud at prices that are far in excess of what they are actually worth.

There is no money gain for Gamepires from hosting servers.

"Revenue share
If you haven’t considered private servers before, the following should spike your interest: as a studio, you can earn revenue from players playing your game on our servers. Generally, we need to be your preferred private-server host for this to happen. Contact us for more info!"

"Private servers don’t cost studios money; they save money - in fact they can actually make money” - Roberto Omezzolli GPORTAL CEO

"We’ve already discussed that private game servers do not cost game studios any money, however we haven’t mentioned that at GPORTAL private game servers can also be a source of revenue. It is called a license share program, where we pay game studios money for players playing the game studio’s game on our servers. This is part of the agreement mentioned earlier, where GPORTAL host the official/dedicated servers and all we ask is that our logo is incorporated into the game in some way."

Gamepires had an exclusivity contract with GPORTAL upon Early Access release.

Its still totally unjustifiable to be honest, you receiving no direct reimbursement makes no difference to the issue, I should be able to run it on what I want. Let alone the fact unscrupulous people enjoy taking down servers when they take a dislike to players/admins. Apart from it being a single point of failure for the game generally, it makes them vulnerable individually. I hope for our sake gportals using OVH SAS and PATHs to be strong in this regard.

Where can I see statistics for the "most"? Keep your own opinion without using such loud words please.

We never had contract with them for revenue share. We never made cent on server files. Just exclusive hosting to minimize work for the team while we where small. Now we are bigger team and exclusivity is not in place any more. We have 4 different host-ers at this moment. We still control access to server files to minimize hacking and pirate version of the servers files.

To be honest, I'm not personally sure why "pirate versions" of the server should be an issue... I mean, you still can't play the game if you don't have a copy on STEAM, right? Unless the server does its own checking (like Conan does with the client...), which might make some sense.

Just please don't make me sign into a STEAM account with a purchased copy of the game in order to run the server, because I am not about to pay you twice for being able to play with select friends.

Client is pirated already but you can play only SP. Because everyone can get client if they pay for it. So its easy to crack it. If this happen for the server then this is a big problem. You will have hacked client and the server.

Can't wait guys for you to hit 1.0 and for us to finally being able to play MP in DECENT conditions. Good dedi is always > to greedy/incapable hosts. The first one in the game history was especially bad, ppl were thinking the game was poorly coded because of that, a shame for all. Host quality means a lot for the general game feeling.
