Posted January 19, 2016 What kind of specs will it take to run a 100 Identity server? What are the rules when it comes to server ownership, IE collecting donations? Will a private server be able to use the official server character database if so chosen? Will we have to rent servers from the developers or can we use 3rd party hosting companies to run private servers? Post any questions or answers you guys have down below.

While I haven't seen anything from the devs about this I can imagine you won't be able to due to the potential for server owners to screw around with things Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really depends on how configurable the devs make the servers. If there isn't an option to change game breaking mechanics, for example gather rates, then i see no problem with this, however if there is an option to change things like this than I can see your point.

Posted January 19, 2016 at the end he configures a job to get 1 bilion $ and kills the environment of any official server. in dayz it's not that bad because you die either that or the other day and you'll lose everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 19, 2016 As far as I know you rent servers from developers and not any other companies, and characters made on official servers and private servers are separate. You can probably save their look to use an official-server-character on a private server, but not their money, possesed items, apartments, vehicles, crime history etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2016 i will be running a 100 person on 2.8ghz machine with 100upmbs/100mbsdown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 20, 2016 I know that you will be able to collect donations through decoration only items (eg. Hats) being sold. Your private server can be rented through a Identity approved third party hoster. Im not sure if you can have one on your own box. And you can choose whether to use the identity database. I also heard there are quite a lot of options for your sever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doubt it, I can see someone making a server where you can easily make a lot more money than the official servers. Using the same character data will be definitely abused like that.

Posted January 27, 2016 Couple Things to talk about... 1. Firstly, do we want another Garry's Mod Dark RP/Arma Life Mod Experience with Private servers on Identity? I feel like people have negative feelings about Gmod and Arma Private Servers. A majority of server owners only care about profit than making the game better(Asylum makes the game better). At the same time, the developers (and I) truly want Identity players to have no restrictions. Something has to be done to eliminate those who will make this game a cash cow. I recommend having a ratings page for every server on the server browser. Or something that takes up less resources is icons which tell which server has: Advertisements, Pay to Win Content, or a Non-Profit server. 2.There should be a policy about 3rd parties making Web servers to sell Addons that can be used on Identity, when modding comes out. Websites like Scriptfodder ruins the chance of every server being original. Do we want Identity to have the same content everywhere or be unique? Being unique improves the mediocre, and Identity is already one of a kind so think of the possibilities. Overall, this game is very promising and many people will try to ruin it with greed, just look at gmod. I hope the right steps are taken, because I'm here for the long haul. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They havn't yet confirmed that mods will ever come out, they have said they will look at it also on some servers being just cash cows I'm not sure how they will be able to do that with identity as the devs themselves are anti-pay-to-win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
