At the moment it's down anyway and I'm still kinda willing to give them the benefit of doubt and that they had some major hardware failure. But the reviews at Trustpilot are scathing.

As long as the server was up it ran really nice, so let's allow them a few more hours and see what happens, if things go badly I will ask for a refund and buy hosting at Nitrous or maybe Bluefang.

If you dig through various forums you will find that today's 502 errors, the unavailability of their homepage, the "Unknown" status on server and various other glitches aren't exactly uncommon. Bid Reddit thread too:

It ran really smooth yesterday when it was up, I'm in the U.S. and for a Euro server I hardly had any issues.

I jumped on a different U.S. server with a much lower ping last night and it was running a lot worse by comparison.

Sometimes you reach a stalemate. Sometimes you get magic horses.
From what I've seen the game's performance depends heavily on server processing power a little bit more than it does ping.

It was really nice while it ran and that's the only reason why I haven't asked for a refund yet.

Are these private servers usually just run on people's home computers which they use for everything else? If so I wonder what resources you have left.

Yes and that also the reason why you can't use 95% of those in the server list, since they are bad.

This is actually the first time that I decided to rent a game server and the more research I do, the more I'm appalled at the shady companies offering their services. I work for small-size domain host, I should probably just ask my boss if I can get a cheap deal and host my own machine (although our company is bad and shady itself and I don't want to own any favors).

Just got scammed by another company:

https://www.g-portal.com/

Since I'm in Austria I thought, hey let's take a company from our friendly neighbours, they even offer a 3-day trial and ofc instant setup and are supposedly a big shot in Germany.

Paid, logged in, "Server can't be created, cause they are short on hardware"...

What the hell ? Sent a ticket, asked for a refund.

I live in the worst district with the worst broadband development. The good thing about my provider is that they are reliable and rock-steady, the bad thing is that they only have plans with horrible upload speed available around here. Otherwise I would have created some Frankenstein machine out of old parts long ago.

Nope not at all haha (hence the question marks). Giving it a shot at the moment. It took an hour or two to get it installed. We'll see over the next couple days, if they start sucking tremendously I can just cancel. So far I'm not having any lag though, and my restart only took a few minutes.

I'll be keeping an eye out for things people mention in those reviews though, thank you for the link. Gives me a better idea of what to watch for if things go south.

I'm at a weird place where I've restarted about a dozen times, explored a good amount of the map and built some fun stuff.

There is just so way I can keep playing if not on a permanent server.
Once the Goon server is locked in, it's all gravy but until then I have to shelve the game.

I will be sending them a list by the end of the week.

An indicator that lets you know what land exactly is claimed when you are trying to put down a bedroll or a foundation block. Maybe something like an overlay of Red tiles being for already claimed, Green being claimed by your clan, and no color being unclaimed land, whenever you have the appropriate item selected for placement.


Shareable maps. Being able to craft a large map to hang up in your clan hall where members can place markers, notes, or draw on the map and other clan members will be able to see their markings and have them saved to their personal map


A sort function for inventory and chests. Sorting by weight or equipment type (in the order of the tabs in the crafting menu) would be the most useful.
