If there's no Dedicated server I imagine we won't even have the map editor available then.
No tool to create content and support the community will be available for ... well months.
It's a huge mistake that Taleworlds makes because if we believe Callum dedicated servers will not appear before the end of the EA ( 1 year ). And it is a basic feature! So for mods and maps support, we can still wait a long time.
If the community really has to wait 8 ~ 10 months to have dedicated servers, the game will be deserted and there will be no more hype ...
It smells really bad for the future of the game :/
