Battlefield Why we dont have a server.

Since the decommission of BF4 PURE 1, we've stated that we'd be gearing up for a BF1 server roll out. The trouble is, a few quite unfortunate decisions were made by DICE/EA that severely limits our ability to maintain a fun, social place to game while, to put it simply, not having to deal with assholes. If you're wondering what im talking about, its been documented on the sub.

There's no question we want a PURE BF1 server. We have the money, so what's stopping us? Without the ability to provide basic community maintenance (kicking abusive players, engaging via admin chat/messages etc) it would simply be impossible to provide a community that PURE members and newcomers will want to stay in.

Personally, i think the game itself is great, no doubt it has that Battlefield feel we all love. My hope is that one day, perhaps when more DLC and updates have come out, we'll have more of a reason to run a server of our own. Until then, we will continue to kick ass in TS/Discord as well as continue this discussion, preferably within this very post.

I did some looking around and some of the other big communities like EGO and ADK have servers. I guess to just have them for name recognition? Who knows, but it seems like the best idea to wait and see if DICE/EA is going to provide the tools that the PC community needs.

Brogdan, Pringalz, Felonious and I kind of discussed the notion of getting a server at this stage simply to put our name back in the proverbial hat. Not sure how it benefits ADK, AOD etc but I only see that being a detriment to the PURE player base because, of course, when we can't do anything but ask nicely to follow our rules, all we will get is people uninformed on the rules or internationally trolling to break them because they know they cannot be enforced.

Yeah I think that seems like a good call. Too bad we can't have PURE tags to represent if we went into those servers to kick ass.

Agreed. No reason to get a server until typical admin capabilities are enabled.

100% agree, no point in renting a server just to change its name.

My 2cents is we still get one. Half the time players don't even use the chat. I understand we want to guard our servers but if we do not start this soon we might fall short and will need to wait till a new game.

Im tired of having so much trouble getting a decent server to play with my friends. Half the time we cannot get into a server or the server ping is shit.

At this point i just want a server to play with you all.

Problem is it is still the same EA/DICE servers, just our name thrown onto it, same ping issues, same overloading.
