Server not found when to start hosting portal
Please help me understand why I can’t host a server in the portal — it shows the error “Server not found.”

Except for the 10,000 players playing solo versus 23 or 47 bots RIGHT NOW which give full XP and unlocks. In other words, you are mistaken.
The reason portal is "broken" right now and you are getting 'unknown' errors and 'quota' errors is because all the farming that is currently happening. The global quota is player slot based. AI players and real players each occupy a slot in that quota. When 10000 people are playing solo against bots, each one is using one server instance to occupy 24 or 48 global slots. Multiply that times 10000 players doing it, and you're talking 300000 or 500000 slots used up.
The whole thing is crashing because of super lame bot farming that supposedly isn't possible, yet everyone who is lame can do it just fine but people who want to host an actual playable and fun experience in the way EA intended, can't. They still get XP, everyone else gets none. What is EA doing?
EA, if you can't figure out your farming problem, just give XP to everyone so people who are playing the game how you want them to play it aren't left out. And there would be less motivation to avoid an otherwise good and fun experience.
those servers got nuked my guy. They removed the solo vs bots again. try load one of them up and let me know how many players it requires to start the match. It was working yesterday but not today
I just saw someone doing it earlier today, my guy. Like hours ago. When is your today and your yesterday. 12:10 am there? Maybe something recent has been done. I don't know. But the problem is or has been existing for the reason I said.
I think it's just been done today within these last few hours, I have been footering about with the portal builder tool and from what I have seen those modes that are solo vs bots when trying to republish will not allow you to finish unless the human players are at 10, despite copying the ID from a server that was 1, When you try to join those servers that are solo vs bots it will give you an error message saying "an undefined error has occurred [9:147002S: 10256769920] but if you attempt to join one that has the settings to 10 players instead of 1 you just get the typical "Global game quota exceeded"
Maybe It's just me? but Idk man seems like an EA move to remove access to those servers with no warning since they have already done it before
