Updates: Server is operational. We're installing plugins and hopefully will have everything set up for testing in a day or two.

For server launch we will be running a machine with 64GB RAM and 20 cores. That means we can comfortably handle around 1000 concurrent players for the launch.

Depending on how the launch pans out and the interest by players we will most likely segregate to three or four 8gb RAM machines, running each island separately and one server built to handle DB operations. Alternatively if there is a low turnout and retention we will run it off one 8gb machine and add more machines as the server population grows.

We will be doing an advertisement push hours before the server launch begins. If any players are interested in helping to advertise, please PM me or comment on this thread with suggestions.

Right now if you're waiting for something to do, I recommend announcing your nations on the subreddit and inviting any friends you want to play with you to subscribe to the /r/Devoted main subreddit. If you make a new subreddit for your nation, please include the prefix DV before your nation name as the subreddit title. This will make it easier for players to find your nation's subreddit. (For example, /r/DVFrell or /r/DVSix.)

Additionally, we need a better logo! If you have any photoshop skills and want to try your hand at a logo, mock one up and submit it as a new thread to this subreddit.

Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll keep the update threads going as regularly as I can.
