The real concern here, though, is that it kind of defeats the spirit of the game to allow users to split off into individual servers. On top of this, a server browser would have to be built to facilitate people joining other users' public servers, and/or an invitation system for private servers. Serving a few connections to a single instance of the server is nothing managing dozens of individual server instances is the opposite. Once you start spawning and destroying instances at will for people, it becomes exponentially harder to guess what kind of resource demand you'll have, and the resource demand grows pretty heavily as it is. A fixed number of servers is simple enough, as you know exactly how many resources you'll need and what the general load factor will be. Aggie and the rest of the team, in my experience, would be very, very against any sort of public release of the full game's code, so this is very likely out of the question from the get-go.Īs for instancing, it's not at all a simple task. Self-hosting would be the easiest for Aggie, but more difficult to set up for end users and would require publicizing (in some shape or form) the code used by the server. Instancing would be the easiest for the end user (ie, you), but the hardest for Aggie, as well as taxing on the limited resources of the game's server. There are two solutions to 'private' servers: instancing (ie, creating separate realms in the game itself), and self-hosting (ie, distributing the server code for people to run on their local machines).
