Public Multiplayer

[A Pebble]

Probably a weird question, but do large public multiplayer servers exist in this game at all? Or is the game hard limited by it's player count and general bad netcode?

There are some large servers. On the in-game server list there are some "open" servers thst have the password in the name

The game isn't designed as an MMO. Any "public" servers aren't really public or owned by the game developers. They belong to the person that set them up/pay for them and are open due to their generosity.

Since its not an MMO the game is limited to a maximum of 10 total players per server/instance.

This game really should become an MMORPG.

It would be epic.

True. Vikings weren't usually loners they were meant to fight together

you might wanna check out PAX DEI for that.

this game shouldnt and wont become an mmo thankfully.

as for the tc : such servers exist rarely and most are totally dead. the reason is its just too easy to cheat and ruin everything for everyone in this game in public games. thus its in generel a bad idea to play public games in this genre as youll get flooded with cheaters in no time.

I used to play on a public server that had one admin that would make sure everything was going smoothly, if somebody did cheat and ruin it for everybody he would just roll back the server a bit and give people any materials they lost due to it he had a discord bot that told him when people joined sk he would join and check them out to see if they can be trusted by doing stuff like spawning a fake gravestone to see if they would steal (which is what he did to me). One time he had to roll back the server after I build my base and he just rebuilt it for me while I was offline. TLDR - public servers can be safe it just requires more effort than simply paying for a dedicated server

well of course if you got a good dedicated admin for it sure. works like a charm. but most servers wont have that sadly.

i have seen public servers where admins even build indestructible bases and ♥♥♥♥ for themselfs with commands etc. ill never get these people tbh.
