How Private servers feel right now

So,

At this moment in time, having paid for a private server, I feel like all I have done is funded another server for Bohemia so they don't need to put up more public servers. And as it stands, I will not be renewing my server rent when it runs out.

Desperately needed for these private servers to feel like they are worth the cash we invested into it:

1. Fix the messaging system for consoles.

2. Make it so a server restart (not just shut down) sends a countdown message to people and does not just kick them. It just makes them go elsewhere.

3. A Blacklist for PSN ID bans, and a way to kick people off the server. This would be better (IMHO) than a white list. Although, the ability to choose truly public with a blacklist or locked down with a white list should be possible.

4. Reserved slots with a reserved slot list that allows people with VIP status to join the server even when it appears full.

 

That's it. Fixing those 4 things will ensure I continue to rent a private server. It's not much to ask, these things have been around since CS 1.3!!

 

Regards,

Gus
