Best thing is to read up on the stickied threads and the “Constructive” respone thread. There’s a lot missing and a lot required. Especially if you are looking for a milsim feeling you might want to hold off. As it seems right now the next patch for RSP is in march alongside the “They shall not pass” DLC. ---

- you can’t set it to QM to fill up your server yet. most stay empty as there is a 20 player start and are not easy for the casual user to find and join - you can’t kick/ban - you can’t create any custom settings - you can’t add more than 6 maps to rotation (game has 10 maps currently) - you can’t turn off “autobalance” - you can’t manage players (switch them to other side) - you can’t have a VIP list of even add admins (so if your friends helped pay for the server they have to wait for randoms to leave before they can join) - - ---

The servers DO work, just not how you expected it to. ok, right if you prefer to be technical. sure they work. as “I” expected? I’m hardly the only one who is disappointed here mate. are they delivering what we received in the past? may I ask you the benefits of renting one currently? ---

if you want to be pedantic about it, ok, so they don’t work how most of us expected. as I’ve stated before, I don’t like how it is, but it is how it is. ---

The server worked. It just didn’t have features you THOUGHT it would. It’s been very clear what features were available at launch. Did the server store say you can kick/ban/etc? No, it did’t, you just presumed they would be there. Defective would mean it didn’t work. It did work, but by your own admission you struggled to get it populated. If the servers didn’t work, nobody would be playing. However this isn’t on topic with the OP, so let’s leave it here. The simple fact is, EA did NOTHING to your friend, he caused it by doing a chargeback. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/servers/104069.md?page=2)
