As someone with a software and systems architecture background this is a laughable simplistic approach. If Bungie were buying their own hardware they would need to spend millions on server grade hardware(Servers, load balancers, firewalls, switches, databases...), data centres, bandwidth, support staff and redundancy. An then you have to actually build the software to work with these servers.

Just read a forum about WoW servers. It said the servers cost 2-300k per server blade uses 175 blades plus 137k per week to operate. Not sure how accurate the info is, but it seems legit. I can't imagine it's cheap to operate a server that allows millions of people to play a game together. Bungie would need 4 similar setups. They probably decided that it would destroy the company financially to set up 4 massive servers for a game not knowing how well it would be received. Maybe we'll get them for destiny 2.

Pone - I need your help - make my horrid idea a thing. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/187642549

That's for around 5 computers, not 1 million computers/consoles. It would take a higher end server that costs around $5000 dollars to support all those players

I love how the forums seem to believe that dedicated servers will suddenly make the Crucible some kind of magical wonderland where everything is awesome. Because none of us have ever played a video game with dedicated servers that still had problems before......

Forget taco Tuesday's, today we celebrate taco Thursday's

I just donated $30 to Bungie for 2/3's of a server and all I got was a shitty Spark of Light.

I love the zoolander reference

mmmm tacos

I love the zoolander reference. What is this?? A center for ants!

Well let's be frank Dedicated servers for patrol, strikes, story missions, Crucible, etc would be a waste - at least with as few players that use them at any given time. [u]Osiris, Iron Banner, Raids, and other very intense activities could really use dedicated servers though.[/u]

Bruh, you had me at TACOS

@Ponethepoon for president... of Bungie. Because America as a whole isn't ready for this type of radical thought But on a semi-serious note (because I can't take anything serious that doesn't pay my bills), to those saying dedicated servers are expensive.... This is a Triple A game company backed by Activision still trying to ride off the coattails of their success with the Halo franchise. And to this point, it's worked. They've most likely made over a billion dollars by this point. They can absolutely afford dedicated servers.
-
I have 45 dollars too. Can i have my own server, bungie?

Edited by Romulus: 1/21/2016 7:41:34 PMTo host bungies claimed 25 million players depending on the number of ip's the server can handle given that most dedicated servers cost anywhere from 80 to 120 I would assume bungie and Activision did an estimated cost assessment on the matter and to acquire them and actively run the entirety of destiny on all 4 systems they are running on for go in on 1.5 years I would guess probably would have caused problems budget wise Edit: $69.99-$245

Lol yes

New servers cost around 7k plus software hard drives and ram. Hard drives are around a dollar per gig (you need 15k rpm drives mainly due to the raid) not to mention around 50 gigs of ram per server. Software can be also quite expensive. Hard drives will routinely fail but are easy to change (they are hot swappable), there are other points of failure but drives are the most common. For instance our server is stating predictive failure on a new drive, so far we are assuming it is the back plane which costs 214.99 for the part or we re up the Dell warranty for 1,697 per year. Servers are expensive but the costs are not incomprehensible, however that is depending on how many servers Bungie would need. Also I have no idea on the pricing for rack mount servers as I just deal with tower server (we have 3 btw).

"HEY MAN LESS BEAVERS THIS MONTH THERE'S A HOT SALE ON SERVERS AT THE LITTLE ROCK ONLINE GARAGE SALE" still laughing ... thanks again, Poon
-
Bungie will add dedicated servers... If everyone pays a subscription of 10$ a month
-
You can't have dedicated servers across four platforms. Just too much work involved.
