What is the best dedicated server

Hello,
I am creating an MMORPG game and I want to have 5 different servers or maps but I want to buy the dedicated servers and put it in my house … is that possible if yes please tell me . I want to make 5 maps on 5 different servers because the maps will be incredibly big thats why… please tell me the best dedicated servers that I can buy and would fit my type of game … Thank you in advance

Any can reply???

Hi Naruto - I don’t think you’ve received any answer because it’s possibly not been considered as a serious question. To develop a game of this calibre and run the data systems involved would unfortunately not only require an awful lot of manpower but the data servers you’re asking about are likely to exceed the entire budget of an indie. By a factor of a lot. Think $10-15,000 each. Excluding equipment, rack enclosures and the $3,000 per month leased line.

NB. If you still want an answer, consider a Dell PowerEdge R730 with 2 x Intel Xeon E5-2637 3.5GHz, 128GB 2400GHz ECC RDIMMS. Thank you for choosing Dell.

Well, if I bought one Dell PowerEdge server can it handle atleast 1k clients and a really really really huge map?

I’m trying to have a Naruto open world game having all the countries in naruto anime. Having one server handling the map and atleast 1k players at a time and the replication?? Can one handle this?? Do you have any ideas that would get me into the right direction?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
See this is a picture of the whole map. I’m trying to separate the countries by servers if its too expensive then I will start of with 1 country and 1 server. Thank you in advance :slight_smile:

I can say with a high degree of confidence that the server specified above would be similar to the individual nodes used by a mainstream MMORPG. I’m afraid that I can’t however provide any references to testify this; it’s not information that’s often made publicly available by game developers.

Regarding the user target, it’s not unreasonable for a physical server with that spec. However the only way you can really find out is by performing preliminary load testing, then subsequent high-participant play testing - it’s entirely game-specific. The trick here won’t be the hardware but the horizontalisation approach.

Aside from the pipe dreams, to provide a reality check (I don’t however want to poop on your dreams) - the server is the least of your worries. It takes hundreds of man-years to develop a successful MMORPG. I’ve worked for sizable games studios, scores of staff, that would barf at the prospect of trying to develop one. You’d have a team of data centre professionals if you were going to do this; they’d be the people you look to, to advise you on hardware - not some random potential 12 year old on a forum. Also you know you’ll need a licence to make software based on the Naruto Intellectual Property? I presume it’s not public domain.

Have you considered instead developing a free to play, not for profit game, maybe for mobile? Possibly Naruto could be persuaded into granting restricted rights for a fan-game like this. It could be a more realistic and rewarding route for you to express your love of the franchise.

Anyway whether you take my advice or not, good luck with it!

My advice? Don’t try to make a Naruto game without the licence from the Shueisa. If you put in a lot of work and money into this, you’d be infringing on their copyright and you’d end up losing your game through a cease and desist.

Thank you guys for the answers I really appreciate it

What if I put a copy right whenever the game starts?? Like Naruto Copy right Masashi Kishimoto and Shueisa .Inc

No - you have to ask the owner’s permission first for use of any intellectual property whether trademarks (registered or not), copyrighted material, or patented ideas. Otherwise you’re effectively stealing.

Intellectual property is as much a tangible asset as your house or car. Would you you think about finding out where Kashimoto lived and taking his car without asking? No? But if you left a note saying “I acknowledge you own the car I took” that would be alright? No, it wouldn’t; this is analogous to the loading screen idea.

But the problem is how could I even contact such a busy man as him?? Their emails are abandoned I sent them emails before 2 months still no reply and also masashi kishimoto?? Do you have any ideas which I can take a license? Should I like buy a license

You have to talk to the person, or a legal representative I’m afraid. If you can’t get in touch via email, consider finding his PA on LinkedIn and call.

Talk to masashi kishimoto or Shueiha .Inc

Masashi has no public email address, I contacted the company to contact him. There is no other way than just to make the game and wait for them to put a copyright then I can contact him. I guess

I think Namco Bandai has some of the licence in the west, but I’m not sure

I sent them an E-mail just now… I’m going to continue doing the game. Thank you guys soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Much <33333333333333333333

Can anyone please answer that
