@VOLBANKER_PC It's the price to pay for keeping servers FREE! Some of us don't want to have to pay more money every single time we want to create our own Custom Games when we already paid $60-100+ for the game itself !!!
The other reason is if every server was allowed to be permanent it would end up overloading the servers that run this and would otherwise cost them a ton of money in the end to keep the empty servers alive.
So the solution for you is very simple.
Make sure that someone is always in the server to keep it up and running.
Or just recreate it with your saved settings when you get back on yourself.
You and your friends still get your own server just like in Battlefield 3 and 4. The difference is that it's FREE but is removed if no one is in the server at all.
