Several people are interested in having our own Battlefield 3 server, but there's one requirement: I'll need more donations. A 64-player BF3 server (we wouldn't want to settle for less would we?) costs 70 euros per month at i3D.net. I can't bring this up by myself, alongside the cost of our Fenrir server.

So before totally throwing this option out of the window, I figured I'd ask the community if they're willing to pledge monthly donations for a server like this. I'd be happy if at least 75% of the cost could be covered by community donations (meaning at least 52 euros). If you're interested just reply in this topic with how much you'd be willing to donate monthly if we'd set up a BF3 server. Let's see how it goes.

Depending on how much people are willing to pitch in, I'm on board.

[TheGreenGrasshopper]

I suppose this is only for people who actually have BF3 (although I know donations are always welcome)

[TechnoNegro]

Few bucks a month.

i bet bf3 wont have same kind of upgrades like in tf2 or gmod, so what about making random bf3 players donate for tf2&gmod&mta upgrades too.

[Nobana]

I would be willing to pay about 5 euros a month, not more than 10 though.

[Raptor]

Sure, I would pay to open up a new Greens' server.. but only if many people of this community will play on it.
I wouldn't want to pay 5€ a month just so I can play on a empty server.

[bAsTiNaToR]

Tomorrow I'll buy BF3 and if it satisfies me in terms of graphics and gameplay, I am willing to pay 15€ each month!

Maybe you could do something similar to the TF2 server, with the upgrades you can buy if possible, but advertise this server more on YouTube and stuff, it'd only need like 1 video, then people might see it and join the community and donate to it? Ill probably donate a few times after christmas when I have more disposable money, just to help out haha. I'd certainly regularly donate if I were to play bf3 but I dont think I will for a few months probably..

Well, if insta-respawn, dmg boost or titles are allowed in Bf3 upgrades would even work.

[NECROSSIN]

Sadly I cant donate, however its a great idea

[Mayco]

I'm afraid you guys overestimate the moddability of BF3. As far as I know it's not very moddable nor is there any word an SDK
release. I could be completely wrong, but I dont think donation perks are doable for the time being.

[Clavus]

It won't be very moddable beyond several settings DICE offers. I can't offer any donation perks, although your voice will be heard if you don't like the mapcycle etc.

Also, if you're interested in donating, please tell how much you're willing to donate monthly so I know how far we can get.

[TechnoNegro]

i could donate like 30€, but just once.

how much tf2 and gmod servers cost, btw?
and is there any cheaper servers?

They proberly are cheaper and the bf3 ones are just over priced because they can do that and EA are greedy

[Ywa]

10 euros per month Nevermind

Spoiler

For this shit game.

[TechnoNegro]

theres 30% off from bf3 servers for 12 months going on

[ZomBitch]

I would like to donate 10 euros; and maybe in 1 or 2 months again, because i dont own BF3 but i'd like to donate anyway

EDIT: I won't pay it every month.

[Luke Nukem]

Can someone explain what the problems are with this game? Been playing it for at least a week now and I haven't come across any problems?
