News about the Main Server!

Okay everyone, here is where things stand. The largest and
best hosting company for 7dtd, (Blue Fang Solutions) whom we are
hosted through, cannot allow anyone to host the large random gen
map until they have done further testing. They are suggesting
that if they are able to accommodate the large map, it may
require a different and more expensive pay structure as the
resource demands are much greater than before. They aren't even
permitting the medium size map seeds. They are only allowing
the small map seeds for now. This is smaller than the new
Navesgane map and will not be large enough for us.
To paint a better picture of the problem, it takes over an hour
and a half to generate a large random map. Then it takes a
crazy amount of time for new players to join in for the first
time because that map has to be loaded client side as well. So
much time in fact that the server kicks the player before you
have a chance to load in completely. So until they get things
figured out to fix this issue, we only have one of two choices.
Either we use the smallest random gen map which is smaller than
Navezgane or we use the Navesgane map. The one good thing about
using the Navesgane map is that it is more than twice the size
that it was in A16.4 and it loads much faster for both the
server and the you, the client. The POI's are better made and
the map is more fluid.
Because of all of these things, we will be using the Navesgane
map until other options are available. Sorry, but that is the
best I can do for now. All previous rules are still the same.
I think we can make this work and keep in mind this is only
experimental so things may change regardless.
Thanks for your patience through all of this. The server should
be up and running within the hour. [emoji6]

Navezgane would be a good map to start on imho people know where
things are and it being bigger works....
Also the random gen I believe has a border limit anyway.

Must admit i like Navezgane as a map, it will give peeps a
chance to get to grips with the new system as well. 😁

Thanks for your continued patience. I'm currently still waiting
on the host provider to finish things up. I'll post here as
soon as it's up.

I've never actually played the Nav map (only random), is the
north/south loot structures etc. relatively balanced out?

Well, I haven't played the A17 version. But in the prior
version, it was.
