    @mR_kAt > RexXuS is "Empyrion staff" dedicated to our servers and server management. We'd never be able to increase our server count and improve management without expanding in this area. So no worries, Official servers are only run and handled by staff.

    Same for the twich these servers got in terms of not being a vanilla setup. >>

    So, is this a server for multi-player testing in alpha stage for Eleon, or is it a direct path of storyline that they are working with you to take? I mean no hostile words, I am just confused. If the storyline is going to be laid out on this server, will you be writing or helping in the official lore/storyline for the game or is this just like another server made by an enthusiast? (please don't take the word fan or enthusiast the wrong way, I just don't know if you are employed in Eleon in an official capacity or not, so I have no other word to use I guess?)

    I know they are backing your work, just like they have drawn so much talent from blueprint designers when adding POIs or ships to the game. I am just wondering if this server (as such running under an official capacity), will it be run by Eleon employees, or have you been hired by them to run it? Or are they just hosting the server and bandwith and such?

    A few questions to Eleon:

    What are the plans for servers be in the future? Will there be one single official Eleon server like a MMO where you are not authorized to run your own due to copyright violations, or will there be a lobby from people to choose from? (Linked to private servers and public).

    Once again, I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers so to speak, I am just wondering if this is a huge step forward for the game, development wise, or is it just a server preferred by Eleon?

    Edit: After typing this, I noticed you answered most of my questions. Sorry for the long winded questions ;)

    All our servers are owned by Eleon, hosted by Nitrado and managed by staff admins that are trusted, have proven their experience and are capable of running and maintaining these environments (like our forum team and admins do for the forums)

    Empyrion is not a MMO, so there will be no enforced / legal limitation of running servers or "own servers". No worries.

    I tried to say something similar but my post just got deleted. I wonder how many other peoples disappointment is being censored.

    So you also read my answer? ;-)

    In short: Empyrion = no MMO

    It's free from cost. It's not free from labor.

    Once you get past a certain size you're going to need to enforce a structure and had a mod team and so on.

    That's overhead.

    The HWS discord is very much censorship free - but I am not sure the same policy could be applied to an "Official" discord.

    I do agree that one is very much needed though.

    Not sure if discord can handle 37 ppl tops atm.

    @RexXxuS :
    - Do we have written server rules somewhere ?
    - Are starterplanets set to wipe after a certain amount of time ?
    I'm thinking in sort of the same way you had HWS running back when i still played there, to avoid overcrowding.

    @Hummel-o-War :
    - Can you give us a rough estimate timescale if performance update(s) concerning reducing lag are in the works ?
    - Might it be possible to explain the class formula (https://eleon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000605465-SIZE-CLASS-How-is-it-calculated-) a bit more with an example ? I'm struggeling to understand what is meant with the character "*". It isn't multiply, so now i'm thinking its a 'to the X power' sort of thing. I'm trying to reduce a base class i made, but first i'd like to understand how to calculate this.
    My last algebra lesson was almost 30 years ago, so ... lol.

    Thank you.

    WASD Games Server uses TeamSpeak 3... Mr. Fun's TeamSpeak 3 Channel can hold 512 Slots! TeamSpeak 3 is also free! :cool:

    There are 237 people online the HWS discord. At one point and time I've only seen 40?Ish people in channels talking, and most I've seen in one channel is like 20?

    Discord can handle a 37 person server easily. But as mordgier hinted at is an official one would need some sort of monitoring//support.

    I think Discord does alright with more than 37 - but what do I know....


    @RexXxuS - Same hardware as HWS NA?

    I've been in many dev discords, and I haven't seen the need for too much moderation personally. They could easily just do what most devs do and pick a few volunteers from the community to make sure nothing gets out of hand. ppl tend to troll less on discord since everything you say gets saved forever for everyone that wants to see.

    Should this be a new branch of the game that excludes 'Survival' from the title?

    You know you can delete what you say in discord at any point?
