Dedicated server = community

I will not buy this game without ability to rent my own server!

I do Agree

But if community servers allow us to

-Add more admins to a server
-Save settings
-Save banlist
-Save server ID so players can add it to favorite and find it again when it gets restarted

Then maybe it can work. I'm skeptical, though.

This MAY be ok for the main game, if they are persistent and findable ala BF3/4.

The fact that the created portal game will vanish after the last player leaves makes this a no-go for community building. We NEED stand-alone, NAMED, always on servers to act as a homebase as well as to help promote growth in the community. (makes it easier to add to favs, promote on SM and websites, etc.)

There is no doubt that rental servers are the best solution for building a community like in the past

Maybe if they let the server run for 24-36 hours before shutting it down. It's a problem that they will shut it down every night when people go to bed and the server gets emty.

Otherwise just lets us pay for having it up and running 365/24/7 and then let the free ones close down when emty.
