That, along with their responses to concerns in general, is a MUCH better response than what you can typically expect from your general "official" server publisher. While the reasons have changed from time to time, for what it's worth, at least they're TRYING to explain why they can't manage a GF server every time people ask why. VGN can start a GF server (or whatever game they choose) when they're comfortable enough to do so.Īnd hey. If things have come up that prevent Jordan from managing another server alongside Eden Eternal, and Bash has decided not to start a GF server because of that (and generally lacks the proper resources to manage a 4th game), then I'm personally not going to push them to do it.
But that doesn't mean that real life can't be a heartless jerk that enjoys finding reasons to make you choose what to give or take. I know the initial reasoning was the new "official" server (and one or two other things), and that it's likely not a concern anymore. And when real life throws you a curve ball, it frequently nails you right in the face when you least expect it. This can be either simple or difficult depending on how much time you can devote in the first place, and possibly even your financial status (again, servers and games can be costly to manage and dev for), especially if you're already employed elsewhere. Servers need frequent attention to make sure everything's running optimally and none of the data within them is compromised, so a private server manager has to take time out of their lives to give that attention. While I haven't managed a private server myself (I did take a server management course during my Bachelor's education, though), as far as I've heard from those who have or know those who have, it's pretty much like working a second job.
Okay, Jordan brought up something that I also forgot was a reason why not many people work on a private server.
