Yea I'm not gonna host my own. I don't have the resources for that. This keeps it off my plate except for the bill I'll have to clear it with my other half but so far there are 3 of us that have some interest so I'm kinda wanting to do it.

If there are a few of us that want to do this I don't see why we all can't spit the costs, or take turns, there are options so that it's not just on you.

What time zone do you guys live in? We wouldn't have to pay for a dedicated server, we could just host a P2P game... I think mountaincowboy is in Mountain time U.S.A., but I don't know about you preble818 . We wouldn't have to pay anything, but there would have to be some scheduling involved, which is no biggy for me, but that's not up to me, that's totally up to you preble818 on if you want to buy a dedi server or host a P2P (regular MP) game. I guess I better download PV17 tomorrow, I see that it is 1.4 GB, whoa! I am going to watch some reviews of it right now. I think I am pretty interested in this MP. So do you guys all have Discord?

Well if even 2 or 3 of us do that's not a lot of money. I'm thinking about starting with minimal slots (maybe 6) and we could go up from there if need be.

They do have a 4 slot. We could start with that. We could start a P2P game. There's an option to upload an existing save to the server so we could carry on from there. Is everyone planning on getting big bud?

Well preble818, if you have a Discord, give us that link and we will join that server. Sure will, I'm not very PC savvy but I love to learn, so if I'm a little slow figuring some things out I apologise.

Sorry guys I was posting in the other thread and just noticed we moved here. I'll copy my last post here. Like I mention I'm at work and not very effective atm. "Ok. CAuse everyone has to have whatever DLC your running on the server. I guess we should talk over some of the finer points. Like what we want the server to be like. PV v2 is a huge production map. Won't be great for pure farming but could be a lot of fun as far as busy work. I'm not sure courseplay and some of those things are ok for MP so maybe we wouldn't want some of those huge fields anyway. PV does have 2 or 3 areas where some fields could be combined enough to utilize the big bud stuff so that might work out ok. It will be great for hired workers. Let's do this. We can all DL the map and give it a go. see if it's something we all like. Also we need to consider a list of must have mod's. They should be error free and need to be something we don't already have ingame. For example in my main game I'm using a John Deere 9R mod. The game already have big 4wd articulating tractors especially when BB comes out so no need for that. I'm rambling here and probably missing bit's of what you guys are saying cause I'm at work and these ppl are getting in the way lol. I'll look into the voice program you have JD. You mentioned it has a chat function. Any chance you can access that on mobile. It would be great if we could communicate on the go "

Ok. Discord does have an Android/iPhone app, Windows/Mac desktop app, and browser version. The program is really cool. I downloaded the Windows desktop version. You can text chat and also voice chat as well. I won't be using the voice chat though, text is best. I will setup my laptop some how to be able to text to you guys as well, my iPhone SE is not big enough for my tastes LOL. Do you guys want me to start it? I can start one if you'd like.
I know there is a mod called "AI Extension" on ModHub for PC, tried and worked great! Not sure if you guys want that.
But yeah, we should discuss the mods and stuff for the game, what we are going to do, etc.
