Q: What server configurations will be available for Boundless?

I think its more like you assumed something which wasnt the case, again from the very start they talked about having the main server and having rented servers.

From what i have gotten you want to have full power over a server FOR FREE while having it connected to the main server, with the argument “but it would be just like the main game”. I am quite curious as to why you want to be able to host the server then and have it connected if it is just like the main game anyways? I can only think of two options

1. you want to add a custom world 2) You want to abuse the system

If it is 1 then you can still get it by paying. If you dont want to pay you can just play on the main server. or play disconnected on your own server which seems to be free. You cant save the cake and eat it at the same time.

First of all, I don’t appreciate the accusation that I want to “abuse the system”. Just because you don’t understand where I’m coming from is no reason to be belligerent. As for “[getting] it by paying”, that’s not what I want. If I’m paying for something, it’s not free to play is it?

I do want to have my own server, so that I can name it, and my friends and I have a place to gather. I wanted to be the first on a server. I don’t like it when I log on a server and building has already started. I hate the feeling of being late that comes with that kind of experience. That’s why I wanted to build and maintain a server with my own time and money. Just because I want a server, doesn’t mean I want it to be private though. I want my world to be open to others so that anyone playing the basic game can come and enjoy it, and hopefully have fun with my server. Is this unreasonable?

Also, for the record, nothing was assumed. As a matter of a fact, my very first post ever on these forums was to try and find out if this would be possible.

Long term game funding

I’ve thought a lot about this and we’ve also had many requests about private worlds (specifically from families who want to play in a safer and protected MMO environment). From an older post: We’re planning to offer 3 levels: Official Oort Online MMO: These worlds make up the MMO that everyone can play in. 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. …

Once again, to reiterate:

@james

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.
