Footmuffin Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So. Project Zomboid's getting multiplayer moderately soon-ish assuming things go well. Since most of you cool forum cats are over in Europe, and I am not, I figured I'd do a thing that asked where most of the people on here who plan to host servers will be hosting from and if they'd be so sweet as to let me in on their thing because I haven't done anything like this before and I am moderately bewildered and confused by the whole whitelisting thing, need buddy-folks, and promise to be really nice. Spoiler wow im even having trouble just clicking post *anxious, sweaty sniffle* So is someone planning on hosting server things in the U.S., and will I get to play on that thing if I promise to be really really nice there?

Connall Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 RP VPS server (maybe). Chances are looks like it will be in Dallas. It all depends. Though I'm in the UK, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footmuffin Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 RP VPS server (maybe.)what is this i dont knwo what that means but it sounds cool also thank you for the fast reply RP VPS server (maybe.) Chances are looks like it will be in Dallas. It all depends. Though I'm in the UK, so there's that.Good to hear! Even though that's half the continent away from me, Dallas servers usually get such fast internet speeds it's like its only a few hundred miles away, as opposed to thousands.

syfy Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 i do tentatively plan to rent some server space, but need to know which companies will have it. if Lowping carries the game, i will be using them. most likely on their Chicago server. my server would definitely use mods, with the Yet Another Weapon mod being high priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PintLasher Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I will rent a server but there is only 1 rule... E.L.E people E.L.E! Hoping to rent a PvE/PvP server though so the option will be there if anyone wants to break the rule. My internet connection might handle it but I doubt it. Does anyone know if 25 dl and 6 ul is good enough??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemmy made a statement to the fact that PZ was running in multiplayer at TIS HQ on a "domestic cable connection", and there were no hiccups experienced due to bandwidth. Anyway, I wouldn't mind chipping in for the costs of running a server with a few other people, if others are interested in doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I wouldn't mind chipping in for the costs of running a server with a few other people, if others are interested in doing so. I'm sure there are going to be plenty people, who will want someone to chip in costs to a server if it means not paying themselves. xD Still it's probably best to have a dedicated machine, since I hate servers that are at the whims of the owners, and usually end up turning it off by accident before going to bed. Edit: Screw it I'm buying the VPS. Guess that means there will be at least one two servers up. Edit2: If it really is low bandwith then it might be possible to run multiple instances of the server. Though that might tie up resources, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So. Project Zomboid's getting multiplayer moderately soon-ish assuming things go well.

Spoiler wow im even having trouble just clicking post *anxious, sweaty sniffle* So is someone planning on hosting server things in the U.S., and will I get to play on that thing if I promise to be really really nice there? I wouldn't worry about it mate. There are a couple of points to be made: 1. There are plenty of our American cousins in this forum. Hell, the game is based in Kentucky. I'm sure there will be more than a few who host their own server.2. The game isn't what I'd call a 'twitchy' game. Some games, like Counter-strike for example, are all about split second timing. Those games tend to require a really low ping, no packet loss etc. PZ is not one of those games. It's about being smart and making the right decisions. My point is, if you connected to a server in the UK and your connection is decent then I don't think you'd have many problems. Obviously local servers are better. Something to consider though. Try pinging the BBC. That'll give you a good indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 6% from Canada, Germany and France each, while Australia hits them with about 4.5%. The rest of the world makes the rest (which is another 1/3).
