I suspect that BF1 is the guinea pig for all future releases.
Okay, maybe you are right. But do you know why they want the full amount of money from the customers using something in a beta status?
Dear Sir/Madam
I am writing this letter in connection with the server setup.
Me and my team would like to know when will it be possible to close the game server with password and practice against another team in a 5 versus 5 or a 8 versus 8 match.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Fehér Tibor.
DICE/EA put the wrong guy in charge of the RSP and that guy listened to all the whiners complaining to him on Twitter about the Rental servers, instead of the admins/communities that made the Battlefield RSP great, in the past.
DICE is becoming increasingly out of touch with the core base of this franchise.
SW Battlefront was the engine test bed BF1 is the server test bed. Maybe , if they dont redo the whole effin thing again well have a decent game next time.
Soon!™
Yeah all we have to do is wait another 3 years for the next battlefield game. DICE has until Spring DLC to get this game fixed then I am done. The will be 6 months of waiting for them to get it right. Sorry but this game should never have been released. I have pretty much lost all faith in DICE since EA took them over. The new crew just does not seem to know what matters to the community.
they have abused us though, have they not? take it as abuse or however you choose to define it, but look around the forums here and elsewhere on the web at the discontent the devs have produced.

Till we can have multiple Admins to run a 24hr server , and fix the server browser so ppl can find our server , my clan is not renting a server!
If you want your RSP to succeed please add these two features!
Also it would be needed to have an access to admin program without playing the game… 
4-6 player starts to get thrown into QM population is a must add to the RSP or renting a server is almost pointless.
Communities rarely have 20 guys on at a time to get a server started…
they promissed the world, well 4months ago. Lets see if they can deliver…so far we are at 0 ingame plugin support
with the release of new servers…
there is no way for us to rent… “NO CAPACITY”
can they seriously increase the amt of servers for rent… 
I just want to tell that we minority in SEA region can’t even find a server with decent ping to play with XD. It’s been like what? 6 months and we don’t even have our own server in the region…
Whatever happened to password protection?
ok any update on 6 player start, multiple admins, vip slots, password protect in next patch and when? it’s been real quiet!!??
Coming SOON, stay tuned.
Honestly a blind ¯_(ツ)_/¯ monkey could have coded half this stuff and pushed it. Probably would have the same success rate as well. Buggy admin panels, Missing config options, Broken fixes, looking at you server browser…
Literally everything they pushed server wise last patch is either buggy and or clunky, missing or just float doesn’t work. Crack job there team High Fives around!
Sorry but Battlefield 1 is done. DICE just doesn’t want to listen to us. On March 13 the game will start dying out fast. Most players that did not buy premium will not pay for DLC. DICE still has not fixed RSP.
TIme to start looking to another game. Just giving out the heads up. It has been a long 6 months and it will take another 3 to 6 months to fix what is broken. The game is a few days short of being 6 months old. This is the 3rd (hardline, Battlefront, BF1) bad game in a row from DICE and they just destroyed the battlefield series.
GOOD JOB DICE.
