    re noob servers: assume they are hosted by the devs, the official admins should have access to them for moderation purposes, aslong as we don't ruin them it would work

    You can't host 32-48 players without lag. Not because machines can't handle it but because the software can't.

    If they really decide to go with a free weekend, it would be neat if someone hosted a "beginner's" servers to avoid noobs getting scared with so many skilled players in this game. You know it takes a lot of time to master even the easiest aspects of the game

    Why couldn't it? KAG is more about CPU speed and RAM (frequency?).
    The vps i could get at this price in dedimax.com has a pretty good Xeon (3.6+ Ghz, 6 vcores), and enough RAM to handle it. Even if it eats up a bit the swap it's not even grave.

    Clients always will lag in huge servers and I have even better CPU and still sometimes at map changes it kicks all the players . I suspect due to memory problems by the software. Don't forget that kag process will always use one and one only core.

    geti posted this on his kag profile

    butcher is a thd game by s-m-k and some other pole, shoot em up thing. it's not formally part of cartridge though it kinda fits the bill there. I'm not involved.

    TW and every other game worth selling from THD will most likely go on steam, we're a publisher there.

    Yea, I think that there'd have to be some Noob-friendly servers no matter what.

    I mean, one guy that hated there being elitists everywhere could tell his friends that, and the friends' friends, and the snowball effect would be severe.

    I like the idea of passworded servers for the people that already play, as to not have to walk away from KAG for a couple days and lose all skills, like before, since that would just be terrible. Then, ofc, having at least 10-15 servers that are public, possibly hosted by the Devs or community, would be good. After all, there are usually only about 2-3 servers that have any significant numbers, excluding mods or shiprekt.

    And, if we do have a free weekend, there can be public Clan Wars, where noobs get put onto Spectator via Moderator, and they can see the amazingness that is KAG. And then @Humblar_Tabulu 's Community Tournament can also go on at the same time, yet again Spectator via Moderator.

    would be pretty easy to just put together a mod that uses clantags to balance the teams

    Well during the Summer flash sale we had 800+ in what, a day? A free sale would greatly increase it at least a few thousand.
