    Well for me its a little different. My friends and myself will be in a full blown battle and we all get kicked in the middle of the game. Every one in the room.Happens around mid day all the time. Some times a couple times a day. "IS THIS NORMALE" ? I wish the service where more reliable. Its a very cool feature and i wish it worked better. I would give my money up constantly to keep a server. I got a 90 day server and its been a bit diapointing. Between the Rent a server going compleatly down last month for over 24 hours, and  constantly getting kick out of my own server. Im a huge Battlefield 3 fan thats Disapointed. If its just me haveing problems Please Let Me Know. And if im Not alone Let me know too. I just want to know if its just me and a couple other isolated incidents or if the whole system is crap.

    I wouldn't be surprised to find a shortcut: "Fill-your-server shortcut" = 1200 MSP, on Marketplace or in the in-game store.. You're talkin about that its necessary to be advertising if I want random players and activity on the server. Wouldn't that be included when I already have been paying for it? To me its just BUSINESS!! The legal owners found even another way to make money on the cost of others. However, I really don't care anymore. I just feel to have been ripped of by yet another billion dollar industry, and I can promise: Im not the only one.. XBL GT: 🤭GreyOrphanOo

    It helps to have 4-5 friends start up your server with you. Quick Match won't place players in entirely empty servers, but if it detects a server with 6 people playing that need more, it starts dumping them in. Works for the 5th SFG servers, everytime.

    However, if you don't have at least 4 or more people to start your server with you, then renting a server may have not been a wise purchase.
     Owning a server is for players who want to strongly involve themselves in the community, not just control the battlefield.
