Battlefield 4 PS4 - Buy Server Space only for nobody to show up

I would like to know when the Server counts as running. I purchased Server Space for 1 day thinking this would make completing Assignments easier (Assignment Weapons Only Server). The issue is, nobo...

    OK, so EA's Response is:
    Even though nobody has joined the Server, it's not Functionally Broken and therefore can not be refunded.

    This Translates to:
    You may pay for usage of Server Space, but if nobody turns up, then that's not EA's problem. Effectively, they get away on a Legal clause and the Consumer is thus therefore ripped off.

    Things to note:
    Once you've purchased Server Space, you can NOT Transfer what Region that Server is. This is because Servers are controlled by different Third-Party Companies, and therefore not the property of EA. EA won't refund you because they wave responsibility for the Servers. Unless you have 4 Systems that can all run the game at the same time, then effectively, don't bother. Europe Servers are a waste of money as nobody's around to join them.

Sorry @GENERALZOOL , but you are making some wrong claims here honestly.

You pay to rent a server from EA, but they are in no position to guarantee you that players will come on to your server to play on it.

How should they even do that?   ;o)

Its like if you started to rent a Mercedes, because you want to start to drive as a taxi driver and earn some money that way.

But it is not really the fault of Mercedes if no customers come and want to have a taxi ride with you.

So EA makes the server vehicle available for you to use and setup as you like, and that is what you pay them for.

But its for yourself to make it attractive for other players to join and play on it.

    No @AdieShine-cn , the PC BF4 game platform is separate from the PS4 platform, which again is separate from the Xbox platform.  So the BF4 game is only played together with players that are on the same platform as you are yourself.
