They already stated this <b>wouldn't</b> happen for the release of alpha.
I'm pretty sure they might have a main server for each part of the world. Because I was reading somewhere that dedicated server files or something were not going to be released within the Alpha ? or something cant really remember its somewhere on the forums... Although could be wrong and miss-read the whole thread
To make life easier, I'd suggest we all start posting in the longer topic <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=110215" target="_blank">here</a>, which also has admin responses in it.

Theres a thread on GP trying to get some support for it, dont know if it will happen.. Sweet well i hope to see a couple ON3 servers up later on tonight :D
If you can't launch the game than it shouldn't matter if the server files are released.
Generally the files are released ahead of time because when the game goes live where are you going to play? If you own a server than you know that there is more than just clicking run, there are a lot of things going on in the server environment and you don't want to throw something on there and see how its going to react.
My guess is that they don't want to release the server files because they don't want people prodding through their work before it's released OR the server is built into the game, which I hope isn't the case.

For ON3. I am unsure if GP will be hosting it ?

Much appreciated,
