I don't mean obvious ones like Minecraft. I'm looking for interesting ones like Runescape for instance

There's always Valheim...

But I host Titanfall servers. People are able to play on them using the Northstar client, a mod for the game that lets you connect to community servers, as well as mod the game in general.

I've not played it in years, but Soldat was always great fun. Server requirements are pretty much: potato.

Jesus I had forgotten about Soldat

[–] CordanWraith@aussie.zone 2 points 2 years ago

I adore Soldat, that game was a large part of my childhoot. They recently released it for free on Steam and have also come out with a sequel

Minecraft, Veloren, Valheim, Core Keeper

Skyrim together, if you're particularly into jank.

There's also TES3MP for Morrowind. It uses the OpenMW source re-implementation. To play it just needs access to some Morrowind files.

Terraria. It's a sort of hybrid between a minecraft 2d and an action RPG, really fun game with lots of content.

You can play it as standalone or as co-op and the server component is included in the game for you to host it if you want.

Tho If by interesting you mean MMOs, there are emulators for a few of them, WoW is my favorite (TrinityCore, AzerothCore), but know that opening them up to public use is illegal (copyright violation).

Edit: added github links to wow emulators.

Tradewars fucking 2002.

Yes, I said it. I stand by it.

[–] Xanvial@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

There's some reverse engineering port of WoW server, for example TrinityCore

[–] atfergs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Core Keeper

[–] ThreeHalflings@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Project Zomboid is worth looking at. It's not my kind of game, but it's great at what it is (top down zombie survival crafring)

[–] BigBootyBoy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

If you don't like minecradt you probably won't like these 2 much either but I'll leave it here for anyone who might be interested anyways

Gmod and brickrigs (basically a sandbox Lego game but you have access to a massive community made workshop)

To further my little mention about Runescape though I meant classic I believe there are efforts with the modern-day one: https://github.com/Open-RSC/Core-Framework

You can also host final fantasy 11 servers: https://github.com/LandSandBoat/server

Maybe I'm old, but I loved hosting Open Arena, Teeworlds and Cube 2: Sauerbraten.

[–] HadManySons@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Space Engineers is really fun. Kind of a cross between Minecraft and Factorio, but in space.

[–] dko1905@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Garry's mod. Doesn't use a lot of resources (compared to newer games like Satisfactory), and you have an almost unlimited amount of content and things to do because of the Community Workshop.

[–] plasticus@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

These are ones I keep coming back to: Farming Simulator, Satisfactory, and Valheim. I've also kept up a V-Rising server at times because my friends like it, but I'm not as into that game. Always on the lookout for games to host for friends, so I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread! Found a few in here I'm going to try out.
