I've been with iiNet for over 10 years. I need bandwidth, not download quota.
I'm an idiot, I really should read posts fully....

This game really needs to be played multi, can some one explain what a server is and why we need one? I dont even have a microwave.

Do you guys think using the recipes is cheating or is it how the game is ment to be played. Now im off to find more iron ore.

The server is the centralised computer that actually runs the world you're connecting to. So it needs to be beefy enough to run the server application with everyone connected, and have a great big fat pipe of a connection to handle everyone at once without any lag.

The system requirements on this are bugger all. My system didn't seem to be flinching resource wise last night, but I'd like to try to get a couple of you on to it to see if it puts on too much of a load. Don't expect that to be an issue.

The problem is I have a shit internet connection. The downloads (you guys sending information in) should be fine, but it's the uploads were most people are gimped and that's what causes all the nasty lag. I was looking at professional server setups because even the lower end setups would have more bandwidth than we would ever need. Costs way too much though.

So over the next few days, we'll test it on my box and determine exactly what we're looking at. Don't suppose anyone else is running a beefy PC on a fast connection 24/7, is there?

IInet just upped my connection to 20mb down/1mb up, was running a good 200kb steady on uploads thismorn. If you gimme a run down Hiss I might be able to host one up for a few days, just so we can all see what the online is all about. Only played about 20 min of this so far, but what I have played has greatly piqued my interest.

I don't imagine a game like this would actually use a HUGE amount of bandwidth being as it is..

EDIT: The only real question I WOULD HAVE IS IF my net drops out or somin for any reason, would all the data on the server be retrievable, or lost forever to the minecraft gods?

Let me finish learning the finer points of the config files (which don't seem to be much) and I'll help you set up Necris.

The world is saved on the server. I tested all that last night. If your line drops out the server will just keep running anyone and people will be booted. That's no drama. But if the server software or your machine dies, you just need to start it again and it's all fine.

Don't be fooled by a games simple looks as to how much bandwidth it will need. For starters, it depends on the netcode he's written for it. Could just be shit in general. But barring that, you have to account for the location of every moving object to every player that's connected, their inventory, the many ways they're manipulating the land, who's killing what... If it's sloppy netcode (it is just one guy coding it) then that can add up real fast if 4 or 5 people are all ploughing into a mountain together with zombies gathering.

Fingers crossed it's no big deal. Also, I'll check the world file size and maybe we can share it around if need be.

Thanks for explaining Hiss. Im up for testing tonight just say when.

Died for the first time and lost all my stuff (including my iron armor :( ) almost sent me back to the beginning.

Since then i've died twice more, every time i see a zombie i die instantly.

Well for whoever finally gets one set up place your Username in this thread, becasue the server admin will need to "OP" you (Basically opping lets you place/destroy blocks, without being op'ed you cannot do that)

Dont bother, I'm not that interested in some retro-pixellated Doom looking game. I saw the roller-coaster youtube video and deducted that this game looks like crap and seems boring, maybe it plays good but I cant be arsed finding out.

You could essentially borrow someones account for a night and try it. All you need is their user name and password
