This is great news for us and we will be onboard. Start saving those penny's!  For those that have a little more to give please consider donating to OHHFund to help those that can't afford it. I would like to do a game giveaway before launch. Game On!

That is good news! Looking forward to the new game.

Thumbs up on that one  

Maybe it is just me but I am a little confused. It appears that the post was talking about a Sever Browser but did not specify it being Dedicated Servers. That info on Dedicated Servers will be released at a later date. Please correct me if I am wrong

Hip hip hurrah

All servers are dedicated, that is the ploy they used on BOP's III. They were dedicated but not rentable & that is the detail I am looking for. They already said they would have the official Dice servers like they do in BF4.
These are the servers I read that were going to be rentable & they would be maintained by Dice with no admin. controls. They also would be more expensive than client base servers we rent from.
I loved the UI & gameplay better than BF4 & just hoping they have more details soon on who the client is, Dice or other clients.

I hope we can admin our own server. I just bought a ssd specificly for bf1. Samsung 950 pro M.2 256gb. First to load first to fly!

i read the same thing craps it doesn't say rentable adminable servers and i noticed the server browser in the game which would let you choose which DICE server you wanted to join

In any case, I have pre-ordered the game and played the beta and I really like it.  I'm all in.  I'm a one game at a time kinda guy and I will be retiring the BF4 to focus on BF1.

Read the stuff on the link but no definitive answers on dedicated rentable servers. Have I missed something?

I am with you Baz I see nothing confirming rent-able servers. I just see confirmation of a server browser which we knew from the BETA

This is from back in May when they were talking about matchmaking vs server browser for the PC. This has nothing about rentable servers and is only discussing the fact that there is going to be a server browser with dedicated servers. Those dedicated servers...currently...are official EA/DICE servers with no admin controls. So, we need to find out if we will be able to rent and admin our own servers. If not, then we cannot maintain the BK way for BF1.

Scubi and I are also going to buy BF1 with or without rent able servers.
A few of us were talking on Ts the other night and Karow brought up a good point, rentable servers are on their way out. The developers don't want to support anti-cheat programs, saves them money. No admin servers means they don't get emails from players who were kicked or banned for whatever reason.
At this point in time, assuming no rent servers, the best we can do is find a public server with a decent ping for most members and simply "join friend".
I hope I'm wrong, we'll see soon.

I'm with the others that are all in either way.  Like Mister D, I will be dropping my BF4 and focusing purely on BF1.  Already bought it before the beta and am really looking forward to the launch.  My new job really has cut my gaming time down but I'm still excited for the launch.

I will not retire bF4 because it will still need our support to get it going for our members who chose not to jump on the BF1 band wagon for what ever reason. But I will be in BF1 for the most part.
