How would you guys like the idea of private servers? Basically, the player would pay for the use of a server instead of being hosted on their internet, which can be shaky at times.
Some benefits could include
*A bigger world size and more player capacity - If the server was being hosted by the company, it should be able to expand the size of the world.
*More control over the server and its inhabitants - Maybe some moderator tools so that they could leave the server running while they do real life ****.
*Significantly less lag
Pricing would probably be monthly, although I'm not even sure how much they would charge. I would imagine it would probably be in the $20-$30 range per month for a basic server and maybe $40-50 for more capable servers.
I would LOVE to see this introduced. Right now, there's just too much lag when 8 people are on the server and everyone is running pistons. Eventually we will also run out of space.

There is a lot of things in discussion including this idea. I wouldn't be counting on it to much because that would be a big thing to put in. even if they announced that they were putting it in it would be several months wait after wards for it
I'm sure that if we get such a feature, it'll be acceptable to most. I'd be happy with the game as it is, small map, 8 players and all, if it can be running 24/7 for my friends without me online. The only thing I'd be adamant about is a "whitelist/blacklist" feature, to allow or ban certain players from your map.
The current settings from the last update are great for that; if that were included (or expanded on), I'd pay for a dedicated server.
