You hear rumors just asking as this would be I think A great way for PGI to make money and help out everyone on learning the game...


1) Rent them by the month to anyone with the MC to spend I would say a set amount to get one that would hold say 16 players then xMC more per 16 more players..

2) This would allow people to select the Map they want. and train as a unit...

3) No repair or rearm costs in these servers

4) Also no Stats, XP earned or CB earned..

5) This would also give PGI extra places to test new maps with LOTS of new eyes.. Say a 10% discount that month if your Unit tests a upcoming map for bugs....

Just an idea . I looked but didn't see it already in here...

Server renting could be more than just that.

The servers would still be "controlled" by PGI, so there's no access for the player to modify server-side game files and the like; but they would allow administrative abilities and the ability to define server-wide settings.

It's fertile ground where PGI can go into making additional money, no doubt, but I personally feel with the game the way it is, it simply is nowhere near being at a point where it's ready for such a deployment.

I like the idea - I'm just scared of the bugs it would introduce as picking a server is not a trivial task programmatically if it isn't already built into the game code...
