You do realize there is more than a server cost to maintaining an MMO? They have to pay their employees, the company bills, software licenses, hardware upgrades, various office equipment, etc. And all of that in Sweden of all places.
lol take a wild guess how many people work at star vault.
A server you say. You do realize the current "server" is a cluster of servers? right? Last game had a cluster of about 10-15. Im assuming the one we got now is higher than that.so youre telling me, they need 200k for buying the game, then 900k over 1 year to pay for 1 server? youre trippin or dont undestand how much server costs are.
As it stands right now, the game has only had about 100k put into it. Ive saw indie games release cheaper. The cost isnt an issue for me either, the cost constitutes an NA server. I can tell you right now, if there isnt atleast an NA continent, then most people who want to play from NA and SA wont play. Id be up for having an NA server then getting rid of one when the player base drops. There is no downsides other than henrik willing to put the money we will be paying toward that.
I literally just did a quick search to prove to myself i wasnt retarded
"Simply put, an MMO can cost you anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand per month, depending on how many concurrent players and locations you want to support. For example, a 50k concurrent player base on an MMO may cost you ~$1500 per month, even with a bulk discount. "
.How Much Does a Game Server Cost?
If you're interested in hosting a gaming server, you're probably wondering how much it costs. We've got the answers!www.easypc.io
Now with 5000 players, they would be making 72k a month off subs alone
Now that being said, a server for 5000 concurrent players would be around 500-800 a month. So there is no reason not to have that.
There has been considerations on setting up a American server cluster for another continent. As well as they are signed up for SpaceXs Starlink. But Starlink if i have understood it right will have about 100ping equal to that EU and eastern NA is currently having in game.
Currently the map is split into 4 servers. Split is somewhere at sausage lake. Here is the MO1 nodeline map and then we had about 1k max players online at one time
I thought we had loads more than 4 in mo2, but maybe i'm thinking virtual ones rather than physical? I know Mo1 had tons because of the way nodes worked and didn't really work that great in the end.
Yes there is, same as it was in MO1. Also called exploiting prediction. Use the fastest weapon there is and go all offensive. They will have a hard time blocking because there will be a delay on their end too. Blocking suffers from high ping, but not hitting. This was a workaround that a lot of high ping players had to resort to in MO1. Besically what he was doing to you…
Hmm interesting. I think I will just need to curb my melee Dom fantasy. I'm trying out mauls, if I can hit it will be glorious.
Friend did that during stress test, was actually really good if either you managed to "sneak" up on someone in a fight or tried to force a trade of blows. Just gotta make sure to hit and not get a handle hit.
Playing mo1 from hawaii(240 ping) I found cron 2h swords worked the best with the “just keep swinging technique”. It swings fast, low stam, hits pretty hard and more difficult to block then spears.
I dont really see the big issue here. After all melee combat is just a secondary fighting minigame within the game. At its core, Mortal Online is a tab target game and low ping is not really needed to play it.
