Private Server Hosting.

[MrSinisteR]

Will we be able to host private servers on are own servers or do we have to rent one?
Also will the private server stuff be out at the same time or later on down the line after the release?

I just found this game waiting for Dead Matter or As I like to call them the "Push back another 2 more months game"

So I am hoping that this replaces that wait because this looks awesome!

Miscreated and Scum are like this having to purchase a server and not run one off your own computer. They must have a reason for this. I'm sure they probably make money off each server that's purchased from G-Portal. The funny thing is if you look up Deadside server hosting there are like 10 other sites saying coming soon, but it's been the same with Scum since the day it came out, but you can still only get a server from G-Portal.

Devs any update on changing this plan?

This is a deal breaker for me. I'll keep an eye on your game, and if you release the server software (like Rust, Ark, Conan, 7 Days to Die, Empyrion, ARMA, DayZ, etc...) I'll look into purchasing a copy.

I currently run all those servers for our community on my own hardware, not paying G-Portal to so something I can do better on my own.

I think this game has a lot of potential. That said, I think being able to host a server on your own hardware, rather than being forced to rent from GPortal is absolutely essential!

I'm hoping that this will only be during early access, and maybe they'll make it public once the game is officially released.

Listen to your community, in the long run you want us all coming back. Giving people freedom with their servers will spawn off all sorts of dedicated communities. you want that.

Welp, that's me out then. Good luck with the game

One does not need G-Portal to run a dedicated Miscreated server. Also, as I understand it, Scum has plans in the future to also allow dedicated servers once the contract with their server provider is up.

Thanks,

More likely G-Portal hosts a few dedicated servers for them in order to guarantee server coverage accross regions. Getting friends and your gaming community anboard with yet another generic survival looter shooter is hard enough, convincing them to chip in on an overpriced server from gportal is out of the question. My home 1gps fiberoptic line and 96gb ram dual xeon processor server will be used on another game instead, then

This threads killed the game for me.

Same. The money they think they saved by hamstringing and force players to rent from a server provider is going to cost them more in lost sales.

g-portal never asked to have it exclusively its more the other way round, they pushed them to add more hosters, g-portal found out today because of this thread that the serverfiles won't be made public availbale. but g-portal was told that the serverfiles will be made public after some further developments.

That's interesting. I take it there isn't an exclusivity deal on the table then, either? So the publisher actually pays for the upkeep of those servers. I don't understand why they are doing this. Maybe because the server software isn't ready for consumers yet?

Welp this sucks, just saw this on the steam store, read this topic and decided not to get the game myself. Thanks for asking this question.
