We were looking for something Australian-based and both Richard and I scouted around a little bit with the googles and came up with "ZeusHosting".
So far the experiment says 'watch this space' and we haven't yet gotten over the first hurdle.
I signed us up and a minute later received an email saying: "Your Cube World Server has been provisioned on our network." Sweet! I quickly logged on to the IP address provided in the email and loaded in to a brand-spanky new random-seed world (note there was no facility to pick a seed). I quit immediately and didn't do anything at all except check that it had loaded.
This was unfortunate because later there was trouble and it would have been nice to compare to see if it'd been completely working at that stage.
When it came time for us both to do the chicken-wavey dance to connect several hours later general sadness was experienced -- we couldn't connect.
Eventually we figured out that we needed to restart the server in the "Game Panel". The server had somehow borked itself.
After that we could connect, yay! but it was unplayable, boo! ...
So to reiterate: watch this space.

Hi there,
Me and my friend in another city are trying to play cube world together using your service.
When we both logged on using the IP address provided (derp.derp.derp.merp) we both connected, and the game loaded but was basically unplayable.
We had the following big, obvious, unplayability issues:
* We were *not* in the same game instance, ie we weren't playing together
* There were *no* NPCs, mobs or any dynamic features
* Couldn't collect/pickup anything, could see harvestable items but not interact with them
* no labels on the map
Having no mobs is a bit of a big deal, but not being able to play together makes the server useless to us.
We successfully played Cube World together using other servers without any of the above issues but were having bad latency/connection issues which is why we though we'd check you guys out.
Is there anything we're missing to getting this to work?
Thanks!
