    Private servers are only available if you pay a subscription.

    You don’t suppose there are… other …means of private servers yet, are there? Or is the game just that bad that even nefarious folk have no interest in it?

      Like, pirating it? I doubt it. I mean, Bethesda’s got the server code. Someone would have to reimplement all that.

      Plus, it looks like it’s on sale for like $8 this week on Steam.

      If what you want is to play in a modded world, you’re gonna be disappointed – you’re gonna want Fallout 4 for that, not 76.

      76 encourages being in a team – the team-based perks are better then the non-team-compatible perks, and you can use some of the perks that your teammates share. Plus you get to use their CAMPs and/or tents as free fast-travel destinations. What usually happens is that people who don’t want to play on a team just join the first casual team with an open slot, maybe share a perk, and then proceed to ignore the team for the rest of the session.

        World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies, and City of Heroes all have private servers that are run off of server emulators, that’s more what I was getting at. Because usually pirated copies cannot connect to official servers, so their only choice is to use private server emulators like that.

        Its just too bad Fallout Together has been getting literally zero development for years now.
