RSP-Servers for 2042

Update1: JackFrags & LevelCapGaming have posted a video stating, "BF2042 servers would have persistent Banlist". It would be great if someone from EA/DICE could confirm it. @Straatford87

Update2: We got have a confirmation from @PartWelsh (it was already public) that servers for BF2042 will have persistent Ban list, which looks promising, also it seems

folks at @EADICE are trying some New Ways, which may work out unexpectedly well (for e.g. following server creator). We are hopeful, positive & Excited. Also, the Reveal of BF2042 & BFPORTAL has pumped us all up, while we may have some feedback for the good Devs at DICE & Ripple Effect post public release, we also want to support the positive Waves that this game is creating. Without assuming things before we have even touched the game, we have decided to jump in full support for "Our Battlefield". This is the Year of Battlefield and we will together contribute in that Effort.

Awesome Folks at DICE, Requesting your Kind Consideration

as we desperately need, Servers Hosted in Indian Region & Rent a Server Program for Battlefield 2042, I am sure the entire Battlefield Community feels the same.

We request entire Battlefield Community to "Click - Me Too" if you feel the request is justified. Also, We humbly request to be respectful to the Developers & other Players, while putting your comments/points.

If its true that BF2042 Servers will be like "BFV Community games" then its a heart breaking news for Battlefield Communities. Please find some points below on why we need Rented Servers and not "Free Community Games like BFV". Biggest issues with BFV Free Community Games:

1. No BANLIST (Session only) -These are session only Servers and the session is active only till there are players. Once the session is down, It loses everything including "BAN LIST"

2. No Moderators - Moderators/Admins cannot be added to these servers, the one who hosts the server is the only admin, hence if the host is AFK, Cheaters destroy the server OR the host has to share credentials with other Admin (which actually goes against EA Policies)

3. No Add to Favorites/Bookmark Server Feature - Considering these are session only, servers cannot be added to favorites or bookmarked.

4. Not Stable - Free Community Servers in BFV continuously crash, our community hosts around 3 to 4 instances daily (for 6 months now), the servers crash multiple times in a single day. So far there hasn't been even one full day that Servers didn't crash. This is not the case with BF1 Servers which come at a Price, they are really good. BFV Community games crash because they are free, Nothing comes for Free and its is to be noted that BFV is doesn't even have a fraction of Player Base that we anticipate with Battlefield 2042. If you really want to keep things cheaper for the community, let's reduce the game Price but please give us Rent a Server Program, we don't want Free only Servers.

5. Servers don't have a stable identity. Anyone can simply create a server with with a Community's identity (any name) because its free. Players prefer custom servers as they are associated with the communities they trust. Also, if the host is not online, other players cannot fill up the server as the server doesn't exist, neither can other moderator manage as that doesn't exist.

Other optional Features that we don't stress to get but should be good to have
/VIP List
/Integration of Community Discord with Servers
/URL based Joining into Servers
/API access to create custom discord/other Bots

We are a Community of more than 3,300 active Battlefield Players from one single region and Strongly request DICE to consider RSP as well as servers in our region (India)

As told by Just Wiebe, BF2042 will not have Rent a Server Program, in fact "Servers for BF2042 will be exactly like BFV" i.e. Community Games only

Renting server program is very much important in Battlefield 2042. It will be very convinient for the admins to manage servers, ban hackers, balance the teams etc etc. Thank you.

Are you sure about this.
I believe I have read that you can make other players admin on a server, you can save the ID adress and Ban list. Just as players can have favorite list. I may be wrong @CyberDyme .

@SirBobdk No source on this yet. But the main issue is the quality of service provided in "Free Servers". BF5 Community servers crash daily (Official BFV servers don't) whereas the RSP servers in previous Battlefield titles very rarely crash.

@BFICommunity These are genuine concerns and are in par with DICE's intention to make 2042 the ultimate experience for its players. Please consider the fact that Asian servers suffer the most abuse from cheaters and it would help a lot to have stability.

Agree. I also one of those who strongly believe rsp servers are a must for this game.
it may be a deal breaker unless they make community servers behave in the same way.

Very much correct @SirBobdk
Though the Indian community has all my sympathy, then please lets stay very factual and data driven when raising issues.
Aka I for one would love the Indian region to have their own local region, for the simple reason that many players in India do not all have super good Internet connectivity. And when they connect to our servers in Europe, US, Japan or Australia with a latency over aka 800 milli seconds, they cause these servers to start lagging and rubberbanding right away for all the other players on that same server.

Sorry to disappoint you @FlyingHavok ,
But the 'official' [DICE] servers are as unstable and crashing in exact same pattern and frequency as do our community servers. It is not like our Community servers are placed on lower priority or crappy hardware versus DICE's run server. So in that sense, DICE is a very strong promoter of equal and fair treatment of all their customers and players in this world! :o)
