Title: Noobstown Pocket Edition Server?
Post by: Boon40 on 3 Mar 2013, 23:03:44
As most of the people who play MCPE know, multiplayer should be coming in the next update. Like PC servers, they will be hosted on computers, no phones. I was just wondering if Noobstown was thinking about getting a PE server.

This will probably cost a fortune to run, cause it is on a phone it can't handle much anyways, as most phones only got 1GB RAM, so the server would have to have very much memory allocated to it so people wouldn't lag.

And also it is minimal amount of people that actually play the pocket edition a lot, so would it be worth it in the long run?

In all honesty, I highly doubt we will be doing that any time soon, simply because of a few things.

1) Unlike Desktop, MCPE worlds have a limited space. Meaning, the world is only so big, and it doesn't create more and more parts of itself to expand.

2) The sheer amount of lag that would result from so many mobile phones connecting to that would be crazy.

3) Obviously, MCPE is still in it's "alpha" phase. There's just not enough content in the game, nor enough open gameplay to make multiplayer completely worthwhile.

It would be amazing if this were possible, but unfortunately, mobile phones are still in its infancy in terms of gaming power.

It will be hosted on computers like normal MC servers, not hosted on phones.

Still if it was hosted on phones, like Bexn said:

Personally, my phone is better than my pc.
