Yeah, but to make a server you most probably need a PC.

You do, I'm sure you still have to port forward.

I don't get everyone's problem with having to HOST servers from a PC! I mean I don't have acces to a good working computer that will be able to run a PE server but I'm working around that problem by getting my friend who would have been on the server anyway to host. I'm sure SOMEONE on your planned server has a computer. It doesn't have to be you! And this is coming from me the biggest control freak ever.

It's just inconvenient, mcpe is on a portable device not a computer, I'm more interested to see if apple let it past, it wouldn't be the kind of thing they would like.

I hope they do cos I love online multi!
And no I don't think they would like it
Fingers crossed thogh

I hope the application for servers on pc is simple to use
Imagine how many reviews on the AppStore are gonna be like "herpedy derp how do we make a sever 0__o" l

You dont have to have a server to join them =}, just play on mojangs dedicated server .

Mojang's server is going to be full pretty much 24/7

Yep, that's why it's more simple to host one on your mobile device

Yet also more impractical.. Phones don't make good servers..

But how can jailbroken people host online servers on their mobile device?

Get ready for some real info, there's good/bad news for the people that don't own a PC..
I asked Johan some questions to hopefully clear things up here's the answers..

-snip-

I'm guessing the hosted servers is what minecraft realms is... Pretty exciting

I'm so excited. The future is looking bright.

What's a white list, can it be done from the device?
And the free subscription server, will that be run from your pc or mojang?
And he didn't mention anything about a friends list

Multiplayer isn't what I expected, I just be able to jump on and get right in to a multiplayer game, none of this

You know what they could do is on iOS they could have push notifications when you are added to a server whitelist or banned or opped! Not sure if there is an equivalent for android but...

When you whitelist someone, you make them able to join your server, but blacklisting is blocking people from joining your server (didn't need to know that one but still a fun fact). And I don't understand what he means by subscription fee. Do we have to pay monthly or something to make a server? And I thought op commands were in (probably in the non-alpha multiplayer stage)

That

That looks....very bad....
Whitelist should be a choice (not mandatory) AND it's going to take until April....
Well if multiplayer does end up sucking we have PocketMine which looks like it will be spectacular.

PE online multiplayer doesn't look that bad... And sure were gonna have to wait but the only thing they have said they are not going to have is op commands and they are just saying we'll have to wait a little bit longer
But I'm still excited!
So we are going to have to either have to join the mojang server, pay to make your own or wait until its free to host a server

I'm excited, even though you have to pay to have a server

I wonder why you have to pay to have a server. I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD! And the PC players don't have to pay to host a server, so why us? Because it a harder to code? Because they're running low on funds? My biggest concern is this, I can wait for smooth lighting and all the ne things, but I paying to host a server is showing us that they want more money and the 6 year olds going to complain on the AppStore will just make a matters worst.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure they do, don't you have to have pay for server hosting?

Stop QQing. I'm sure they'd make it free if they could. PC servers cost money, too.

Plus, we don't even know the cost. What if it ends up being $5.00 a month? It's not THAT bad of a price.
