I'm sure this has been suggested before. The HOG server is very popular and lots of people want to get in. Problem is only 100 can play at a time while the rest fight for the opening.

Is it possible to try having reserved slots for admins and people who donate? For example, a person donates $5 (or an amount HOG determines) in November. Said person gets his name added to the reserved list for November. Say HOG allows the first 50 people who donate reserved spots on the server at $5 a piece. This helps with server fees and helps people with lower patience get into the server easier.

Just a suggesion. Please consider.

Super65 will have to be the one to decide on this, but from what I recall there were some issues with the reserved slots system in PR a long time ago. Not sure if that was a permanent issue or only a temporary thing.

We would also have to check and make sure the PR license allows paid reserve slots, but I don't see why it wouldn't since plenty of games allow it.

If those two things won't be an issue, and Super65 is up for the idea, I don't see why we couldn't :)
He should be along shortly to give his input on this.

Thank you for your suggestion!

No...just no.

That's two less players on the server. I hate servers which have that.

Plus you can't pay to play on any BF2 servers. Breach of PR server contract too.

While we love ideas and want them to be said to us we simply cant do this. We tried, not for money, this a long time ago for our members and like ralud said, people hated it and it we had to stop doing it. But keep coming with ideas. One thing maybe we could do is setup a second server during PEAK times to handle the extra load. We tried this before but things change all the time and we could simply turn it off until the primary is full.

I understand. If its illegal due to contract, then we cant do it. 2nd server is a good idea. However, i would only be fun if that is full. A half server isnt as enjoyable.

One thing we've never really tried is a smaller 2nd server, like a 32 player skirmish/inf server or something. Not sure if it would work but I think it would have a better chance than two 100 player servers.
