Private Servers, and general questions

Private servers will be a thing at some point but they will be disconnected from the main world. (I do not know what the plans of connecting to other private servers though)

@james

We’re planning to offer 3 levels:

1. Official Oort Online MMO: These worlds make up the MMO that everyone can play in.

2. Private Oort Online Worlds: Player created private (and semi private) worlds. We will host these for you and run the vanilla Oort Online game logic. You craft and sculpt the world. You control access. Your world. Your rules.

3. Independent Servers. Modders and server hosts can deploy their own instances of the Oort servers. You can mod these. Privately host them. (But they will obviously be disconnected from the main MMO.)

The Private Oort Online Worlds will come in 2 flavours:

Worlds complying with the rules of the MMO: This means that the world was created respecting the standard distribution of resources throughout the world. They don’t break the economy of the game. They can be connected by portals to the main MMO. Think of them as a beacon that protects the entire world exclusively for you.

Worlds beyond the rules of the MMO: This means that the world can be anything, allowing mountains made of diamond, and trees made of glass, etc. These worlds would break the economy of the game, and so can’t be connected to the main MMO.

According to the above quote, which I’ve linked to a few posts above, it seems like access is something that can be controlled in level 2, which has two sublevels. So his question applies to both sublevels. And it further seems like your post is incorrect in the case of level sublevel 1, Worlds complying with the rules of the MMO, so I wanted to provide clarification. Sorry for any confusion!
