> [@TrollFarmer](#): > > I got refund last night for $160 for 180 day server. Go to live chat not phone. I just told him issue and referenced the post that others got refunds and bam said sorry to heAR they looking into it… amd refund issue. Took 2mins or less. Yeah same, I think the rest of our gaming our gaming community is following suit. I got a refund on Friday once our servers were laying dormant for several days. Honestly, instead of DICE screwing communities, there should be a toggle box that is defaulted to on, to allow QM players to join private servers, let the players toggle it off. Also, 4 players to populate a server instead of 20. =ADK= BlueMoonIsTasty [www.adkgamers.com](http://www.adkgamers.com) ---

I advise everyone to cancel their servers and let e/a foot the bill for providing servers.. The money we save can buy us all some hacks :).

If any one is not happy please demand refunds maybe they will listen and actually address us. This is pretty much what happened.. DICE wants to keep this strictly on the forums, so they can moderate what is said about it..

Anyone getting their servers filled yet? I got wind about there being a period of downtime and am holding out hope that they fixed the issue of our servers not populating. ---

> [@SoC-TimSad](#): > > Anyone getting their servers filled yet? I got wind about there being a period of downtime and am holding out hope that they fixed the issue of our servers not populating. I sat in a server for over an hour and it got up to seventeen players before peeps started to leave. This 20-player start nonsense makes it impossible to start a game! DICE needs to lower this to four player start, just like BF4. And if anyone is monitoring Ali Hassoon’s Twitter account, you will see in his tweets that he is working on other problems and RSP may not be his priority. Boycott RSP now! ---

Its very hard, they have to enable QM for rented servers in official setting ---

Well our server just dropped and disconnected everyone just like when they did the maintenance but is back populated again. Have checked the settings and nothing seems to have changed so not sure if it was an update or just a crash. Anyhow BLS #1 and #3 servers are well populated if you are up for some custom hardcore fun. Jabbajaws77 ---

I have some custom games (pistol servers and argonne etc.) in my favorites list, but all are empty. Normally, a server like that would be full all day in bf4. ---

Hello all, We also want to be optimistic I think. It would be nice to get an update on rent-a-server upcoming changes. Anything, even a tease could keep more people interested. A recent video bug might be keeping everyone working on a different project but I hope this one stays alive. Sorry so many of you couldn’t wait, I hope your wrong. Nick, Temxs. ---

It’s not about being right or wrong… how long is a consumer expected to pay for something they cannot use? Hence the refunds. ---

There is another problem: It will take a long looooong time for server fixes, because they need to update the client too.
