User Hosted Servers have been one of the most requested features of Ace of Spades since its launch on Steam just over a year ago, and we're glad to now start testing early versions of a community orientated server ready for a wider release early in the New Year.
The first publically available version will have a limited feature set, you'll be able to host and name your own server, set the map rotation and game modes, enable and disable voting options and more essential options.
Features such as admin controls, running community maps, and more advanced and deeper customization of game variables however, are planned to be added in server updates during the first few weeks and months of 2014. We'll be sharing more details regarding the planned features & requesting your feedback in the New Year.
If I get into the Beta, what will I have access to?
By signing up, you will not get access to host the server yourself. This is to help with the stability of the Server software. The server files will be made available at the end of the test period.
How do I find out my Internet Connection speed?
Sites such as SpeedTest will provide you with the necessary information regarding your Internet speed.
Best Wishes for the Holidays & New Year from everyone At Jagex!
