This way I can rent a server for a week to test it out, and have the auto renewal enabled so the server won’t get shutoff and kick everybody off. If I so choose to disable auto renewal, then it’ll turn off once the period is over. > > > > But honestly I don’t see why we can’t renew/extend the server before it ends. > > OMG I just rented a server for a week, so if it will be finally populated it will kick everyone, I want to extend the contract before the end of that 1 week trial. I also have a bug report open now and just posted it at EA for help but maybe you can help me as well? > I can’t get any DLC weapons on the server. A member of my platoon rebooted BF1 and then had them, but next time he connected they were gone again (and I’m rank 0). Is the problem maybe that the server didn’t run a full match yet? It’s still on Amiens, first map in the mapcycle. Or maybe he needs to play one of the DLC maps first as a fix? Then I could change the mapcycle so a DLC map is the first map… NO no no, everything is normal, just go to any empty server, nowhere you ahve the dlc weapons pre-round, and everywhere your class rank is 0 or 1 (the 1 that can go to 50), your normal rank that goes to 120 shoudl be normal. Renewal can be done, just rent a 2nd server, yes thats right a 2nd server. Then call EA in your country, beleive me that telephoen of EA i would give a 9 out of 10 (they absolutely know about RSP). Then yous ay i wnat to stop the 2nd server and give all days to server 1. I rented 5 servers all 180days i called stopped 4 and let the guy on the telephone give all days to the remaining server that one is now rented till octrobre 2018 so 12months and i called then 6 months ago so at that time i rented the server for 18months from that day - yes i know 5x180 days is lonegr then that but ofcourse i hgad those 5 for motnhs - all full everyday but was too much work. ---

> [@NL73schietdammer](#): > > We did it for 6months - 140euros is 23€ a month, for a lagless 60hertz server that never seems to crash (we have 5 servers in bf4 and each week in the evening, so full of players, we had at least 1 crash a week. And on all major clanservers i have had crashes when i visited as a player so all providers are less reliable as these servers in bf1) - and our server is full everyday (p.s. we are talking pc here), argonne only / conquest 24/7. SO the advice here to not rent i find weird, at least we can play our favorite map constantly that is at least something. But i hope by that time - in 6months - it can be renewed in a normal way, but i am 99% sure it will be. Ofcorse the server will be full when its official settings and get quick match traffic. Make your server a custom one then brag about it here being full ---

Yes the only way to get your server full is leaving all settings on default so the server gets filled by players using Quick Match. Every one who wants custom settings running on their server is throwing money away unless you already have a big platoon and 20 members go on the server to attract other players who use the serverbrowser and then see the server has quite some players ingame. ---

They removed QM last November to RSP after some YouTuber complained about it (no names here). About extension, it should be possible to extend from UI before server expires, now we have to wait it to expire and renew or call EA support to ask them to extend… [Previous page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/how-to-extend-the-rental-period-of-a-server/104065.md?page=1)
