What's up with this QUOTA anyway, who sets it? What is it? Why where we not told at purchase that only so many people could use it at a time.
And that HOST LOCALLY is crossed out and not an option.
What is this QUOTA? I want a number. Who sets it? why was I not told about it?
email me and I'll give you my Linked in contact ... I want a piece of this Money For Nothing Scheme.
Unfortunately, the actual quota is likely only known to EA, and I doubt that they'd give that kind of information to us. Also, I believe that the local host option is only available for "Custom" games in Portal, so it might not be an option for "Verified Modes" if that is indeed the case.
While I agree entirely that it's frustrating not being able to play what we want (I've not been able to launch a Breakthrough or Conquest experience since the day after launch), it does seem that Rush experiences are working. At least it has been for me (experience code yqm1).

I had a same result with trying to host your Rush server too buddy.
EA must fix this, due one of their key feature is not working! And even not communicating it properly what to do nor providing any information too... :/

It's really very simple they can not support the software they are selling. They do not seem to have a Quota on the number of sales. All this Baloney about "XP" is total BS and as far as I can tell "XP Farming" is not a recognized legal terminology by any Courts. It is 100% a "Money For Nothing" scheme. And their use of the term is an attempt to belittle and besmirch People. They act as though it's some kind of stolen valor or a theft of some kind ... theft from who exactly. I am telling you it is a scheme and I will detail it's set up one more time.
Market and sell some software.
Set up two types of servers, one an actual server running the software, and another cheap old tech one to pump out some BS messaging 100,000 time a minute until it fries. The cheapies cost about 1/100th of the real deal. As time goes by and they sell more copies of the software they only add more and more cheap throw aways ... thus the scam is complete.
Sit back and watch the money roll in.
I did not see any mention of a Global Quota when they pitched the product.
I am not interested in being manipulated by a bunch of Dev's that create games they themselves would probably not be caught dead playing, and will never be forced into PvP gaming with a toxic community. I simply play video games to pass the time instead of watching TV.
The fatal flaw in their scheme is this, it's not just the THEFT of the purchase price, it the the theft of peoples time. Time is a commodity they can never replace, I dare them to put a price on such a thing. If I have my way I will put a Lap Top in front of a Judge and ask him to Click away at that HOST Button, and then ask them to define "XP Farming" for him.

It's basically scam at this point, selling a main game feature that does not even work!
Simple as that, I don't care about their excuse!
It's the same issue with 2042 portal, they know it, but either incompetent or not willing to fix it.
They should put 'Global Game Quota Exceeded’ Error on the market material. Hi everyone who bought the game can host a persistent server for free, but 95% of time you will get an error, lol.
