![]() ![]() There’s a lot of trial and error involved, but what if we told you there are two main options to host a dedicated server these days? You have to establish moderators, secure and reliable servers, as well as plenty of rewards for players who are highly active. I doubt you have the level of experience, but just figured I’d mention them in case anyone wanted to learn and just so they’re known.Building a game community involves plenty of work. The latter two are more complicated, but if you know what you’re doing you can have it setup in less than 30min. You will also need to purchase a domain (~$10 a year) if you want a nice domain otherwise they will just use the static IP your VPS provides 127.0.0.1:port) This is most likely what the people you rent from are doing, the difference is you have more control). You also most likely have a dynamic IP meaning you will need to setup DynamicDNS and buy a domain for ~$10 a year.Īnother option if you have experience is setting it up on a VPS (~$2.50/month – then you don’t need people connecting to your network, and has much higher up-times. Also if your computer/server/network goes down, nobody can reach it. If you have experience, you can setup the server on a home server, or right on your computer (which means connecting to your network, which is a security concern). I know there are a handful of librehosters who have them, and communities around some popular places it’s just a matter of finding them. There are also many who host publicly and just don’t list it on Mumble’s directories. These are just people who host and list them in the directory. There are many servers that are public, many are listed right in Mumble’s directory. You can rent a server from someone else (of course they are in control of the server, and can log anything they wish, although debatable better than forcing users to make an account and using Discord, at least Mumble can be used “anonymously” because it requires no accounts). So I figured it’s best here.īut I pay a monthly fee for our server. But this was relating to World of Warcraft, and targeted at community’s and guilds and stuff. I’d like to point out, I know Ventrillo and Teamspeak are commonly mentioned alongside Mumble, Mumble has not only come a long way and has had MANY features added, but also Ventrillo and Teamspeak are both not privacy respective.Īlso sorry if this is considered off-topic, feel free to move it. Or at minimum use Mumble for voice comms (like for raids and group events and stuff), so you don’t need to alienate players. I’m not saying that you need to delete Discord ( you can if you wish), but I at least ask to provide users the option for using Mumble instead (even if it’s one of the many random public servers). ![]() This thread is not meant to be a circlej about privacy, but if you really wish to understand privacy a little better, I encourage starting with this video: There also have been cases where Discord cooperates fully with governments, which can hurt people in third world countries with very strict governments. It is privacy respective, has excellent voice quality, and many features and plugins.ĭiscord is extremely privacy invasive (even with a throwaway account), Discord does extreme censorship, has overall poor quality servers that go down or robot often, is very resource intensive ( which affects users with older computers), and a handful of other issues. Many users outside of the World of Warcraft community have moved to Mumble as an alternative platform, that is completely free, libre and open source. Popular, detailed website (not by me) with information about the issues with Discord: ![]()
