Renting a dedicated server

[Ryan Dorkoski]

I've rented servers for several games in the past, but never any in the FS series.

1. Is it true that I need to buy an extra copy of the game to rent a server? I would assume not.

2. I did a search, but it seems that we cannot set anything up with server providers until release day?

3. Does anyone have a provider recommendation (I'm in USA). Thanks.

Thanks in advance,

1. If you rent a game server, you do NOT need to buy an extra copy.

2. Probably correct.

3. Everyone has their own opinions. Personally I've used both Nitrado, and Gameservers. I found Nitrado to be less reliable. Just my opinion. Others think that Gameservers is not that great, but I found them to be pretty good. You'll get several other recommendations on servers. Best to pick the one that suits your needs/price range.

Fantastic. Thank you for the quick response. yeah I've used Nitrado and Gameservers before. My experience was 'okay'.

Thanks again.

Uh I know this is not apart of this But Are your servers going to be doing RP style and people can own there own farms and people work for the players who own farms and stuff?

Eh, probably not. I'm not 100% sure yet.

1. You don't need to buy an extra licence if you rent a dedicated server. If you plan on running your own server on your own hardware though, you'll need to buy an extra licence for just that.

2. You're right. When game will be available on rented server depends totally on the server-provider.

3. There are a few, but as for now - all the ones who offered fs17 might not offer fs19. Gameservers.com being one of them. I asked their support a while ago, and got in respond that they might not even provide fs19 on their servers. I've posted my answer from gameservers.com in giants' MP forum.
Our group (Dedicated Farmers - www.dedicatedfarmers.com) has gone for Verygames for fs19, and preordered a 3-month prepaid fs19 server.
