red.jacob.bryan 0 Posted December 31, 2013 I wanna start my own server. How would I go about doing so? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted December 31, 2013 Pay about $200-300 a month to rent a server. Right now the server files are under lockdown by BI, so you can't just run a server from your own box (at least not for now) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
red.jacob.bryan 0 Posted December 31, 2013 Damnnnnnnnn that's too expensive for my taste Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
creature 1189 Posted December 31, 2013 How does $70-80/month sound then? That's what the typical 40 person server is going for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeNwAr 0 Posted January 2, 2014 Does anyone know or heard if there will be the capability to host your own server in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xelpherpolis 32 Posted January 2, 2014 Does anyone know or heard if there will be the capability to host your own server in the future? I am not sure when that will be, I currently have a working server but the version is a little outdated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ninjacalypse 551 Posted January 2, 2014 Does anyone know or heard if there will be the capability to host your own server in the future? It's possible if DayZ gets lan or mod support in which case said servers would not be part of the public server hive (i.e. your character would not transfer to the public servers). Otherwise, highly unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, highly unlikely.Yeah I figured that as much, which is completely understandable, as you wouldn't want people hacking their own servers and then joining the public ones with their hacked survivors. But for someone like me who would love to play by myself with just 3 or 4 friends without having to rent a server or pay for slots in one, it's a very appealing idea, which ultimately could affect my decision to purchase the game. (Well I'll probably buy it eventually anyway, but the option to host a server will make it an instabuy) Edited January 2, 2014 by LeNwAr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kyang03 0 Posted January 3, 2014 As I've Heard they might add private hives in the future but again Ive only heard it in game forums. As of right now just currently hosting one and haven't been playing much :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
