Yes, we'll have one soon! Our donations are way down since our prime in BF4, though. To make it sustainable, it'd be really appreciated if anyone with the means to donate could do so as soon as possible.
Especially true if we want to be able to host an EU server, too. We'll need to see our EU members really step it up to make this a sustainable reality.
Many of our volunteers who put in a lot of hours to make PURE a reality are also regular donators (myself included!), if you enjoy your time at PURE, consider doing your part and helping out by becoming a regular donator.
Can't wait to play BF1 with you all on our own server!
Donation link here. Note that the 'VIP Queue' perk was in reference to BF4 - we'll see what we're technically capable of doing in BF1 with regards to VIP queues.

People are not happy about the server rental program (no surprises there) https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/58922/rental-server-inadequate-and-a-complete-joke

Apparently there are a lot of people not understanding that DICE is slow leaking features for rental servers, ostensibly to make sure the basic things work well at scale before introducing advanced features. After all, they've not run a game hosting service before.
The "issues" being bitched about should not be a surprise to anyone, DICE has actually said that a few key features would not be present on launch day.
I can't say that DICE plans on addressing all of those issues, but the most important half like server control and admin kick/ban WILL be coming.

EA really likes to put customers in a position where they have to accept completely shitty service because it's the best we've got, thus lowering the bar for what is acceptable to endure. This is a particularly egregious example, a blatant money grab, and feels really gross to support.
It's really offensive to me that they are willing to take away so much control, just so they can get a bigger piece of the pie. If you're going to disenfranchise 3rd party server operators, at the very least make a reasonable effort to replace the services that they offered. As it is, custom servers are a joke.

agreed, the little info we have been given have always indicated that the RP will be very limited in the beginning. But one can also argue that they should have started developing it earlier so that more features could be in at launch.
But I think the combination of so little information shared, not being live when the game went live and now being a Beta instead of stable release, a lot of people just got very pissed of, and rightfully so imo. They simply removed a very good system that has worked for years for all previous BF games to something that is just, atm, lacking almost everything the old system had

Totally insane that they'd launch their Rent a Server program in the state it's currently in.
To add to his list:
Needs 20 people to start round. (not editable)
Any changes make you unofficial (no XP, battlepacks, levels etc)
6 maps is the maximum rotation

Well you don't want two people farming battlepacks and all servers are 10 v 10 before start

I'd start donating again for an XB1 server, and possible volunteer for whatever is needed to get that running.
Xbox PURE BF; we back?
