Server technology and access notes

The session includes several practical notes about how Scars of Honor is distributed and hosted during testing, along with a brief explanation of the game's server technology.

Launcher and login flow

Players are directed to download the game through the official launcher and to select the PTR version for this test. For accounts created through Google login, a password is said to be sent by email, with players advised to check spam folders because of recent mail-related issues. Changing that generated password afterward is recommended.

Server regions and latency

The active test server is described as European, with infrastructure in the Netherlands. This creates higher latency for players connecting from regions such as Brazil. A dedicated Brazilian server is mentioned as a goal for the next public test.

Latency examples are given informally, including a relatively low ping from Bulgaria to the Netherlands-based server. The discussion suggests that connection quality depends heavily on region and local setup.

Custom server engine

A direct question about PTR operating cost leads to a brief explanation of the backend approach. The game is said to use its own server engine, which reduces the kind of per-concurrent-user costs associated with some other MMO solutions. As described here, the main hosting expense is the rental of bare-metal hardware rather than a third-party MMO server platform.

Development cost context

While the server itself is described as not especially expensive to keep online, building the MMORPG as a whole is said to cost millions. This distinguishes infrastructure cost from total development cost.

In-game support and troubleshooting

The session also references practical troubleshooting tools and support channels. A stuck character can use /respawn, and Discord is identified as a place where game masters answer player questions. These details indicate that even in an old public-facing test build, the game uses a combination of in-client commands and community support processes to handle common issues.
