How about run the free server first to see how popular it will be?

I really don't want to go through the process of organizing a server again + I think the 30% discount on BF3 servers is only for pre-orders.

I kinda agree with fenn on that.. tbh i dont think this game will run a year here, at least not that actively after a while (lots of games gonna attract interest away from it).
Then again it`s your own choice/money :)

I agree with that actually. BF3 will only hold my attention for so long. When SWTOR is released I'll be on that 100%. Then when GW2, Firefall and Tribes Ascend are released... My time will be split into those too lol.

Also I played Bad Company 2 constantly when it 1st came out. But after a few weeks or a month, I got a bit bored of it tbh. Short attention span lol

But paying for a whole year for an official BF3 server, wouldn't be worth it for the community imo. Sorry to put a downer on it all lol. But it is alot of money! Just wait a month into release. If people are still playing it as much as they were on release, then consider looking for a server?

BTW, anyone interested in helping me run the Free BF3 server?

It looks fairly simply to setup (reserved slots etc) so I can probably do that myself.

I just need people to help kick the idiots+cheats/change maps/team balancing etc

Will give you a reserved slot for the whole month in return so no messing around trying to find a space on a server during launch :)

Had confirmation when the server will be live - Thursday 27th of October @ 00:00

We can request the server is brought up early on the 24th if we want. I see no point as BF3 isn't out until the 27th/28th for most of us.

The BF3 and Mumble servers are online. I don't have time to configure them right now. Need to get my stuff ready for work in the morning. I'll set the servers up tomorrow afternoon. Looks fairly straight forward... :o

32-slot Mumble Server online. Devious is configuring the channels now :)

We're using the same password as the old server. Not the one for the backup server.

IP = removed
Port = removed

BF3 details are as follows, also 32-slots

Name = Multiplay.co.uk :: TerraNovaGaming.Com #2
IP = 85.236.109.216
Port = 21667

Not sure is the BF3 server is online. If it is its default configuration.


Anyhow, zzzzZZZZZZZZzzzz time :)
