Abburo Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Just listen today Matt's video and was mentioned that a dedicated server will need the map to be bought in order to be used. Well, from my point of view this can a be a kind of drawback in future. For example I am considering hosting a dedicated server on a separate dedicated user account. Adding extra cost on this low level activity can put away other potential future customers because number of dedicated servers could be substantially lower. ED/Wags please have some further internal discussions and consider a kind of check if the .exe is a client or a dedicated server.... !!! Allow people obtain a free special code for their dedicated server so that you'll never loose control of your data. For sure you can earn a lot more by letting the number of servers to grow adding in that way a lot more customers to your database...

If ED did that, what would stop each of us from setting up a dedicated server and never buying any maps? I have plenty of spare hardware and it would be easy to justify compared to the expense of purchasing multiple maps.

Abburo Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 A dedicated server will just host a mission, including map, modules or other mods. That will not however let you play the game but to connect to it as a client. And as a client you have to have all that maps, modules, mods bought and installed otherwise you cannot login. The future dedicated server is an background process (service) only !!!

The future dedicated server is an background process (service) only !!! Honestly this seems like the best approach, but requires dedicated servers first. As what we have now is limited, I can understand requiring the server to own Nevada etc. Once dedicated servers are released, it SHOULD be another story, as you would not be able to abuse that system as you could potentially abuse the current one. (If maps were free for servers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abburo Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 I am reffering 100% to the future dedicated server which was promised by ED some time ago. This will come with 2.0 or a bit later... we will see!
