SamMonahan 36 Posted July 10, 2017 Hi all, I was wondering if it was possible or there was plans for an official server hosted by the YLands team. This would be a reliable way of us testing multiplayer at larger capacities and would be a good way for players to form a tighter community 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim22 2 Posted July 10, 2017 That is a good idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurricane43 36 Posted July 10, 2017 Good Point! Not sure how many people can fit onto multiplayer at this time as I am strictly a solo explorer ?, but would have to be a minimal amount due to cluttering the island/s. Would be cool to see a bi weekly or monthly dev stream of what they are working on via twitch or YouTube to interact with the players etc... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also that is an amazing idea. Have a community whitelisted server that the devs showcase every month or so to drum up publicity 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WijkagentAdrie 384 Posted July 10, 2017 When the next update fixes multiplayer I'm hosting my 24/7 professionally hosted server again! It's got absolute top notch parts and connection, it doesnt lag at all 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aleš Ulm 1725 Posted July 10, 2017 There should be at least one official server up and running very soon (hopefully couple of days ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aleš Ulm 1725 Posted July 10, 2017 You're welcome! There are still some stability issues with the dedicated servers in general (that affect even the ones that players are running) - we're trying to fix these issues first before we run our own as it would be rather unfortunate for the official server to be accessible only at certain times 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aleš Ulm 1725 Posted July 10, 2017 Sure thing - unless it's fixed really close to 0.5 (I hope it will be fixed way sooner though, we do feel it's a priority) Official whitelisted serve running by a third party: sorry, not at this time (I'm not saying it can't happen in future though ) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will there be a whitelisting system for other servers soon? I'm looking forward to such kind of system since a password isn't waterproof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John - NEXFER 111 Posted July 10, 2017 I've been twitching (literally) for the dedicated servers to be ready I think there should be a decent range of friendly hosts to cope for at least this pre-Steam phase. Once it hits Steam things are likely to grow large! I bought my domain in advance for this reason lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hurricane43 36 Posted July 11, 2017 Good Info... This would also be a good way to have more testing done and report back the bugs that are found, while also playing together. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SamMonahan 36 Posted July 11, 2017 @Aleš Ulm Just another question regarding this, would it be possible to increase the player cap for the official server along with adding some more ylands as there will be a larger number of us playing 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
