Probably going to be laggy for the first month or so until the game dies down, or the graphics will be lowered to handle the bitrate of everyone connecting

but there have been games where it wasnt laggy and all played on one server
true prawn
then it might be able to handle it all based on the quality of the game servers

The game has not been confirmed to be on 1 server
true prawn
No, they just confirmed it in a recent tiktok video

As quoted from 3Blade today
"The only thing we have said is that there will be a single world. We have not said anything about the server architecture, although I think since so many people are curious, we'll do a game design post about it at some point"
Its 1 world, nothing has been said about the servers and how they will work

But is that a developer's account?
true prawn
I’m not sure
true prawn
Yeah that’s my guess too, but it just hurt to have a bit of hype and anticipation
plush hearth
But yeah it's a genuine misconception 1 of the devs addressed, that they havnt actually confirmed anything to do with servers
true prawn
I see

1 server or 1 world doesnt really actually change anything
By that I mean
true prawn
Mhm, I’m excited for the game no matter what

1 server, will be the same experience as 1 world
As 1 world would essentially be like each sort of area being it's own server you (probably) seamlessly enter
1 server would just be the whole thing hosted on 1 server
true prawn
1 servers sounds very stressful on the system but I’d be more worried about user consoles because of specs and loading in so much
Unless they do distance rendering

Either way as long as its 1 world, that's essentially all ya gotta worry about. Examples of what I'm talking about here is the game foxhole, 1 massive map, divided into sectors which you load in when you enter

This is true
So they will probs go for something similar to what I just said, the whole each area with it's own server thing
true prawn
If it’s just a single world with multiple servers, I wonder if they’d create like creative style servers that have infinite resources

Easier for the user and game to handle

Probs not as it's an mmo
true prawn
Yeah they seem to know what they’re doing so I’m not worried too much about what they choose
true prawn
Probs not as it's an mmo
Yeah I know, but it would be pretty cool lol

Mmm “The Creations Update” or something like that

1 server vs 1 world is actually a rather large difference
[Before i go on, just keep in mind that putting thousands of players into single server is not just issue of better hardware]
plush hearth
1 server vs 1 world is actually a rather large difference
Mainly speaking about for the player
Like the player's experience
Worse you would get is janky fps

So if 1 whole world is split into regions, what do you do if a certain region is full?
sudden condor
well they said there wouldnt be a hardcap for any server
plush hearth
🤷♂️, they probs will think of solutions for such things, or will just make the servers so large that the only way to make em full is to bring thousands of hundreds of botted accounts into 1 location
tender topaz

Huh.. can you find a link for that?
sudden condor
its in the faq channel hang on

Wait really

Q: How many players can the BitCraft world hold?
A: There is no hard upper limit on how many players can enjoy BitCraft. The server design enables the permanent addition of more land once it gets too crowded. Reaching these new areas can become a long journey for older players but it will stay possible for all players to interact.
true prawn
But then it says “server design” later in the answer
tender topaz
"The server design...." This likely refers to them being able to add in more regions
sudden condor
yeah honestly idk im guessing by world they mean server
true prawn
They might be using it interchangeably so as to not leak too much of the game’s mechanics
tender topaz
I doubt
They seem pretty consistant with usage of those words
Amyway, it's not a bad solution,
And most of the time i assume it's not gonna be a massive deal..
However there are gonna be significant differences, which is important to note
If you want to look at example of 1 world split into regions, i suggest taking a look into Foxhole
Though it's important to note that foxhole is built on UE4, which isnt really meant to deal with big multiplayer
(Devs didnt suspect this many pleyers to be interested in their game xD)
plush hearth
They dont use server and world interchangeably

Was confirmed in a later message by 3Blade when he said this

Neat.

WAIT WAIT WAIT @plush hearth
LOOK AT #archived-faq
Second to last question I believe
No no, 4th to last
About how many servers (game worlds) will there be
tender topaz
They even go as far as to put serbers.into apostrophs (or whatever it's spelled)
"" these things
true prawn
Yeah, they’re really throwing us for a loop lol
plush hearth
About how many servers (game worlds) will there be
Yeah that's what the dev adressed
