What Are Public & Private Servers In Soulmask?

Soulmask - Official Servers

Public servers (also known as official servers) are online servers that have been set up by the game's company. These servers can hold multiple people and allow players who don't know anyone else playing the game to play online with someone else. Players never know who they will meet when they join public servers since anyone with the game is able to join them and play.

Soulmask: Best Base Locations

Bases are vital in Soulmask. Here are the best places to build some, especially when first starting out.

Private servers (also known as dedicated servers) are where players can create their own servers (and use console commands) that they can invite friends to. On these servers, the players get to make the rules. This means that they can team up against the world or each other. Whatever they want to do, they are able to do it. The only issue is that these servers usually cost money. Here are some options for hosting private servers:

  • ClawCloud (Server location isn't specified)
    • $13.99 USD a month for 10 slots
    • $19.99 USD a month for 30 slots
  • G-Portal (Server location - New York City, NY in the USA)
    • $16.00 USD a month for 10 slots
    • $41.50 USD for 3 months for 10 slots
    • $23.12 USD a month for 20 slots
    • Create your own configuration

Solo games are games that players can just play by themselves. Unlike games on the servers, these games will only have the player character and no one else. This can be perfect for those with slow internet or who don't want to play with others.

At the end of the day, it is totally up to the player as to which type they prefer. If they want to play with friends online, a dedicated server may be the best option. If they don't care who they play with, they may want to try out a public server. Finally, if they want to be alone on their journey, they should just play solo.
