BF3 Reserved slot for existing dedicated community donors

[Failhorse]

We offer reserved slots. We don't have it setup on the main page quite yet. If interested it's $5 a month and reply here.

Edit and note.

Established community members can get a pass for a slot. They must help populate the new servers. Some can become admin. Use the BF3 section (not this thread) to apply for that. Remember our Source based side of the community is different from the BF3 side. More info will come later.

so current donators get this perk, i assume yes

You assume not. We can't link the source based system to origin.

Considerations will be given to those who are active in the community and want to help get this going though. We need to pop serveres like any other game. Matchmaking works like tf2. so a few people go in. it pops itself.

Sorry, just to make this clear, are you saying that current (steam) donators aren't auto donators on BF3 (obviously because it is on origin) but the 5$/month still gets you donator perks on all CSN servers and we just also have to sign up with our origin id or whatever, or the BF3 server access is an additional $5/month?

Once I am home from work I'm going to start the download.....didn't preorder because I was toooooo lazy to get origin. I really hate having my digital games fragmented......but, alas, I have no choice.

That's one of the downsides of going to other games. To better put this into perspective. Even though we rigged the system to get BF3 server "technically" on our hardware. The 2 BF3 servers cost nearly as much as the rest of our gaming platform.

Now established community members who have donated we'll make some exceptions for. We need bodies to pop these servers and get them popular.

I edited the original post to clear some things up.

Ah gotcha, makes sense, thanks!
