I would guess that what we need is just one guy with a reliable connection and a good gaming rig. My connection has a tendency to jam once a day, which necessitates me turning off the power on my router to reset the connection. So not good if that happens while im sleeping. But if someone has a connection that stays on for weeks on end, we might be golden with simply that. Its worth a try anyway to see what kind of smoothness we get out of that.How much is server hosting and how many players might we have on at once? I don't feel like maintaining a server but I'll pay to have one hosted somewhere with a great connection 24/7 if it's a few big mac meals/month in price.
Edit: Looks likeVilayer LTD - Shopping Cartis $30/month for a 32 player server. I'll let this sit here for a couple of days to gage interest. If lot's of us want it just post and I'm happy to pick up the tab for a good cause. If you are interested in admin'ing the server let me know that to. I just want to pay and play
On 1.3 right? Thanks! I will start using this right now. Edit: says im not using the same versionWhen the game first came out I recompiled their server code back and added uPNP support as a convenience for myself. It was like a 2 line fix =/ It's nice they added it themselves though. I also had my own cheat protection/mods built in. It sounds like these days TShock is what people use for customization.
I have an extra pc I don't use for anything and set up a vanilla normal mode large world dedicated server at terraria.hachima.com:7777 Currently set at 32 players.
Nothing at all has been built there yet.
Dedicated i7 with 24GB ram and plenty of bandwidth.
If there is interest I can probably host a few worlds concurrently np.
