Hello fellow survivors, I've been a passionate fan of Project Zomboid for years, I have played singleplayer for hundreds of hours. However, as of late, I've found myself longing for a multiplayer experience. Despite my efforts to find a server that aligns with my preferences, I've struggled to find one that offers the level of enjoyment and immersion I seek. That's why I'm reaching out today with an offer that could be of interest. Recently, I found myself in possession of a powerful server that is currently sitting idle, and it dawned on me that I could put it to good use within our beloved Project Zomboid community. I'd like to extend an offer to The Indie Stone devs to utilize this server for official hosting purposes. why? Stability and Reliability: My server boasts high performance and stability (IMO), ensuring a smooth gaming experience within the constraints of multiplayer servers in Project Zomboid. It is also located in the Netherlands which I think is the perfect place for people playing in the EU. Improved Community Experience: While multiplayer servers in Project Zomboid are limited in player capacity and can be prone to lag, having an official server could provide a more consistent and enjoyable experience for those seeking a multiplayer environment. Cost Savings for Development: By offering my server for official Project Zomboid hosting, it would alleviate the financial burden associated with setting up and a dedicated server infrastructure. This would allow The Indie Stone to redirect resources towards moderating and maintaining it. A Good Testing Opportunity: Utilizing my server could also serve as a valuable testing ground to assess the feasibility and benefits of having an official server/multiple servers for Project Zomboid. It would provide an opportunity to evaluate how well it performs under real-world conditions and gauge player feedback, serving as a stepping stone for potential future developments in multiplayer infrastructure! The only downside I see is that moderating and maintaining it is still lots of work and would need lots of volunteers/workers.

Let's continue to survive and thrive together in the world of Project Zomboid! Stay safe out there, Isai1a

Hello, I am speaking for both the community and the Dev's, could you please add an Official Test Map for your latest updates ? For example a large parking lot with all vehicles having a place to spawn and such, different types of roads, terrain, etc. Zombies to roam a side of it, and a bunch more. Would love to see that kind of a test map. You could get a lot of information out of it and we could test all kinds of bugs and, fps decrease and other issues that pz needs fixed and as such I think it would be a good idea to be able to test the new features on a such said map. We could have trees to crash in or to chop, a mechanic shop filled with the parts you need to test out anything else and so on. That way it would be easier to test and see where problems arise. Below is a really poor example (really poor) but I think that everyone gets the idea. We can test houses, how the rendering will affect buildings and such and vehicles. We can have a dense area with a bunch of houses, a bunch of two story buildings and then just normal country road. Tight curves, intersections, etc. We could basically do a lot of stuff on it and it would be a fun way for everyone to test out new features before playing or if they are willing to make the game better and report anything unusual. This is just a suggestion but I hope it will come true. A cell or four at max would probably be enough for the car to accelerate, do leaps and anything like that. Please think it through and share your opinions with me and anyone else.
