Once Human, the popular survival crafting game developed by NetEase Games, has officially launched its highly anticipated Custom Server feature. This exciting new addition allows players to create and manage their own private servers with fully customizable gameplay rules, offering a unique and personalized experience within the Once Human universe. Alongside this major update, the developers have announced the upcoming Global Annual Version 2.0 Showcase, scheduled for July 2, 2025, where fans can get an exclusive preview of the game's future content and updates.
What Are Once Human Custom Servers
Custom Servers, launched on June 18, 2025, empower players to become the architects of their own game worlds. Unlike traditional servers, these are player-managed rental servers that give the server founder full control over gameplay mechanics and environmental settings. Other players can join these custom worlds for tailored adventures, whether they prefer a relaxed building environment or a challenging survival experience.
Key Highlights of Custom Servers:
- Player-Controlled Rules: Customize everything from weather patterns, day-night cycles, and resource respawn rates to character attributes and experience gain.
- Scenario Flexibility: Switch between official PvE and PvP scenarios or create entirely new gameplay setups.
- High-Performance Infrastructure: Officially supported independent servers ensure stable, smooth gameplay without the typical issues of third-party rentals.
- Community-Driven Content: Future plans include mod support and exclusive custom scenarios to further enrich player creativity.
