Official FTB servers

[Darth Sith]

Just a random thought, do you think the official FTB mod packs will have their own servers in the future? If so would you use it, why or why not?

 

[Tristam Izumi]

They have server versions.

If you mean public FTB sponsored servers, yeah, that will never happen for too many reasons to count.

 

[SatanicSanta]

Highly unlikely for there to be an "Official FTB server". Closest thing is StaffCraft, which doesn't even use an FTB modpack.

 

[Yusunoha]

there'll probably never be official FTB servers as the servers would have to have a large amount of slots for the amount of players who'd want to play on it, which would cost a whole lot of money. and imagine how much work it'd be to keep it moderated

 

[SatanicSanta]

And eventually it would die as people would be getting griefed and the server would lag from heavy load.

yup, there are constantly new ways of griefing coming out and it'll be hard to disable them all without removing alot of items/machines

If servers cost a lot of money, then why do most popular mod packs have servers? A good example of a popular mod pack that has a server with tons of slots is Infamy: Modern Warfare.

Infamy doesn't have as massive of a following as FTB.

To put this into perspective 1000 slots would easily be necessary and 1000 people playing ftb? Yeah you'll only need 1500 gigs of ram(low ball). Totally doable for a server. Not to mention having that many people on one map. My god; it'd be insane.

pretty much this. there are modpacks who do have an official server, but the userbase compared to the popular FTB modpacks like Unleashed is a whole different story.

 

[TheAbstractHippo]

There was a server posted on the FTB Twitter account talking about assorted minigames...

Then how about all the Solid State Disk space, bandwidth (1GBPS is about right if you have 1k slots filled), Then how about the CPU?? There isn't one that can go insane Ghz on a single core.
