Hosting a Myth of Empires server
Myth of Empires is a large-scale survival and empire-building game, with both PvP and PvE servers. You can run your own dedicated server through the game's server files, or use the built-in tools for a custom server. The client itself is demanding, with a recommended 16 GB of RAM, so it makes sense to expect the same from a server that simulates a large world, armies and player bases.
What to compare
- Generous RAM and CPU. Studios do not publish a simple server size for every setup, so compare plans by how much headroom they give for your player count, and ask the provider what they recommend for a PvP or PvE community.
- PvP or PvE. Choose a plan built for the rule set you want. PvP servers with sieges and big fights are usually the harder workload.
- Storage. The game install is large, so check the plan has enough SSD space for the install, saves and backups.
- Config access. Rules, rates, territory settings and admin tools live in server files, so direct access or a solid panel matters.
- Backups. Bases and empires take a long time to build, so automatic backups and easy restores are worth having.
- DDoS protection and location. Competitive servers are common targets, and latency matters in large fights.

Myth of Empires server hosting FAQ
Can I run both PvP and PvE servers?
Yes. The game supports both, and hosts can set up either rule set.
How much RAM does a Myth of Empires server need?
There is no simple official figure, and it depends on player count and settings. Ask the provider for their recommendation, and lean towards more headroom for busy PvP servers.
Should I host it myself or rent a server?
Hosting yourself works for testing, but the world only runs while your machine does. A hosted server stays online for everyone.
