Here are some stats after running a public Conan Exiles server for one week.
We have seen 22 unique players come through and spend more than one hour on the server. A few more played less than an hour and left. About 75% of those 22 people are from my own gaming group, QT3 or Bay12 - the other 25% are random. There are two formal clans on the server, made up of about 14 people total, so the other 8 are unaffiliated.
14 players have spent more than 10 hours on the server in a week. We are all around level 20 to 30.
I am not aware of any griefing or antisocial behavior. There have been a few in-game incidents of hostilities, which are being dealt with in-game (honor duels, etc). Overall for a public server everyone has been “well behaved”, which I think is a function of the groups that have joined.
The server has been rock solid, zero crashes. It has a scheduled reboot every day at 4am EST. I made one admin error this week, fixing a setting that should have been enabled at the start, and thankfully I never have to change it again.
