Orchidrose Posted April 27 Report Posted April 27 My friends and I play a shared world but recently hosting from the lan -> internet has failed for my friend group - we're looking into hosting on one of the recommended servers but we enjoy playing multiplayer sessionwise rather then having something running 24/7. Is there any recommended ways for doing this? Thanks in advance for any advice!

As long as your friends have self control and only play together then it will be the same as playing on the a LAN. The server will be up 24/7, but just set a password and no one else can log into it.

Helst_navngivet Posted April 29 Report Posted April 29 I run a server on a separate old computer using AMP, and thats plenty customisable. I have not experimented with sessions, but im 97% sure its possible, and quite easy, too! Just be aware that you need to install linux for it to work properly, and unless you are some form of uberhuman tech prodigy, the John Linux will see the weakness that resides in your heart and have their penguin mascot brutally maul you using an escalator gearbox. (This happened to me, they had to put me back together using glue and tape) But in all seriousness, once its up and running it works fine. Its free (excluding the hardware), mods are pretty easy to install, but world creation is a bit tricky. Runs extremely smooth, too. But REMEMBER that if the server goes down or something breaks, you are pretty much alone when it comes to fixing it. Thats the only real downside (excluding the whole separate hardware thing, of course.) If you dont have some form of separate computer that you are willing to turn into a sacrifical lamb, then just do what Zane says.
