Title: How do servers get official?
Post by: EK.IceFlake on Jun 10, 2015, 04:05 PM
Hi guyz!
I have always wanted to have my servers in the official tab. So now I am asking: How do servers convert into an official one? Is it that the servers with most players become official? Or are they run by the development team?

All you need is to have the worst server and you'll be recruited instantly. Yep, that's all you need ;D

Jokes aside , I believe your script needs to be unique, stable and maintained. And your server needs to be hosted on a proper dedicated server an not on a 10 years old laptop :D

What do you mean!? It has ~23.91/7 uptime and is hosted on a desktop by VK.Angel.OfDeath... btw how did you know that I'm using a ten year old laptop?

Maybe for the perfomance of the server?

It was said that UNIQUE servers are made official, server having something which has never been done before but I guess someone doesn't want to compromise.

It is not on player base since you should understand it your self why I said that, I don't think Devs look at the requirements now, they make server official which they like, which is not fair.

Personal observation.

Wait, what?

EDIT: A de facto list of criteria can be found here:

Generally we weight established communities and developer-managed servers more heavily, but well-known servers with a unique premise can be considered as well. We just don't think about what servers to denote as official that often, especially newer servers that we can't vet extensively.

But is it a desk or a computer? A computer is a computer. The fact that you place it on a desk gives me the right to call it a desktop computer. But the computer is not the desk. If I place my computer on a car and I call it a car computer. Does that mean I can call my computer a car? Just for the fact that I place it on a car? If I place my computer on a mountain? ...

But did I ever say "desk"? I said "desktop". Split them up "desk top" desk = ..., top = ... What is usually at the desktop? A computer!

So, if I place a computer on the top of my car I can call it a cartop? For the love of god. This is the second time today that I have to go off-topic because some people never seen a joke in their entire life.

Who places their computer on top of the desk though? I place it under it. I don't want 50cm sticking out of the desk. That just looks horrible.
