Documentation on this page is intended for customers of HeroEngine managing their own server(s).
The Area Server Daemon provides a set of definitions which are used for Area Server dynamic processes.
Each Server Group has one associated Area Server Daemon, which is used for the Area Server processes that are started up within that group.
Each Daemon's definitions can be set individually, or it can also inherit definitions from the Universe.
Each instance of an Area Server process may inherit definitions from the Daemon, or it can have its own individualized settings at the process level.
Modifying definitions
These can be modified with the Master Control Console. See Editing configuration values.
Note: Only customers with full or source licenses can modify values via the Master Control Console.
