BF3 Server renewal with Killer Creation

[TeaLeaf]

Renewal time folks, I have just receicved a reminder that the renewal of our 64 slot server is due in 7 days.    The initial cost was £177 for 3 months of debranded 64 slot goodness.

Please can I have confirmation of the terms on which you want to renew?   I assume from current server settings you'll want less than 64 slots?

[Gone_Away]

Renewal please..

I'm not sure about the reduction in slots. We seem to have a good thing going with the current configuration. I'm wonding if we should leave it as it for the next 3 months.

What do the rest of the admins think?

Definitely keep 64 slots imho

[Vargen]

If we finaly are starting to see some better numbers, don't change it.

Now that our server config is "public" we're filling up 32 slots easy, so 64 would be preferable - however I am concious that cost is a factor. is 32 slots significantly cheaper?

[lionheart]

Yea keep 64 for now.

Renewal time again folks, I have just received a reminder that the renewal of our 64 slot server is due in 4 days whilst we're at the LAN, so we need some quick feedback on this please.  

Cost: £173.99 for 3 months of debranded 64 slot BF3.

In the last month we have not seen 64 players on the server, ever.  On one night we reached about 60, but we've had less than 32 players on all other nights. So, as this is a not insignificant sum of community cash (£700 pa), do we need a 64 slot server?   If not then what's the appropriate size?  What should be renewed please?

I think we should drop to 32 slots.  We are not getting the support of our own players enough to warrant the expense.

 Also, quick match works on the basis of sending player to server which are already fuller.  So, if we drop to 32 this might give us more traffic (as our server will be fuller as a percentage).

 We can then review in 3 months.

I would prefer 32 slots aswell.

32 sounds fine to me.. We can stull run SDM games too.

[TeaLeaf]

[TeaLeaf]
