Running a server from Home? Are we any closer?

[Mixxy]

Hi Guys,

I know that this has been talked about in the past (I can only find posts from 2018 about it) BUT...

What is going on (In 2021) with us getting a Server release that we can run from home instead of forking out to Game Server Hosting companies?

Posting on previous discussions is "Necroposting" as it seems we don't want to raise the dead like Zombies or anything ;)

Good Point, I am happy with the game but I would be more happy if I would not be forced to g-portal :)

But official server running good for now. So no killer criteria for me in the moment.

Hi! So far the plan is to release dedicated server files to everyone at version 1.0 and at the end of deal with G-portal. Not anytime soon, but hopefully we will getting there.

Tha would be a great idea but nefore that I would like to see implemented the loot tables that Tomislav was talking about time ago. That is my personal most wanted update along the metabolism... :-)

Thank you for the update. How long is the G-portal contract? It has been years already.. Did they sell their soul to them?

We don't have any exclusive contract with any of 4 providers. Also, we don't have any fee by selling private servers.

Unfortunately that does not solve the problem :D

Yes. For now we will not release servers to public because of security issues. At this point server would be hacked very fast and situation with cheaters will go out of control. There is no other reason why we are holding server files right now.

Thats the same awnser that you stated out in 2018. As I mentioned before I'm not unhappy with the game and your work overall. But imho that should be a number one feature and high prio (way before 1.0). If you look to Deadside (bad game imho) and other games, they loose player like you did before, just because of this feature. My suggestion is, that you might reach more player (=== more money for development) if you release it faster.

But thats just a suggestion, I'll not leave the game because of missing server files. But what I can say is, that I didn't buy Deadside because of missing server files. And I would do the same to SCUM if i would not own it allready
