There absolutely needs to be some option to have persistent community servers that don't disappear when the creator leaves or when the server is empty. Battlefield V's Community Games system is a nightmare for people that actually want to build a community. Despite its name, the Community Games system in BFV makes it incredibly hard and punishing to attempt to build a community of like-minded players.
As a server creator, being forced to sit in an empty server for hours at a time while you wait for people to join is no fun. You can't even play the game while you wait. You just have to sit there and stare at the deploy screen for hours. And if you want to leave and play on different server while you wait for yours to fill up, your server shuts down and goes offline as soon as you leave it.
If you do get lucky and happen to get players in your server, it will shut down randomly due to stability issues and you've lost the community you were just trying to build. Or if it doesn't randomly shut down, a map might come up in the rotation that players don't feel like playing, so they leave your server for a match. When the server goes empty it shuts down without notice and goes offline, which makes it impossible for those same players to return to your server. It's a terrible system and is the furthest thing from "community" I've ever witnessed in a video game. It's anti-community.
This system simply cannot be reused for Battlefield 2042.
We need to have the option to pay a premium for persistent community servers. Similar to what Battlefield 4 or Battlefield 1 have. By all means keep the free options that have already been announced, but for those of us that want a deeper experience with more control, give us the options to pay for it. Dice and EA have no problem taking our money for microtransactions for cosmetics. Why not take our money for something that will actually benefit the players of the game?
