Yep...I have put my potential purchase on hold. I am reading too many things of BF1 being mainly for consoles and everyone is afraid that the PC version will go the way of Hardline and Battlefront. A bunch of stories on the BF1 forums in the General section of players revoking their purchase...clans posting that only onesies and twosies are purchasing the game within the clan, but no clans are supporting or are able to support it whole-heartedly.
It's discouraging at the moment, as I really enjoyed playing the Beta, but just waffling, as I know I can't just jump into a BK server with BK values...

It's going to be one of those things were we just wait and see how the servers are handled. The PC is a big chunk of money they would lose game wise. I could see them adding at least admin later to servers just from all the complaints. Just them locking forums about the servers is a really good indication not many will buy the game cause they won't even listen to the PC communities. I'm more then likely going to get the game but probably later after launch to see how everything works out.

We should have already been doing this but we should have taking the lead reaching out to other clans to boycott & cancel our purchases at the same time. Now that would have sent a message.

Well I heard from some sources of mine with in dice that indeed we will be able to kick and ban when server's are available or shortly after. So 3 weeks I think is a good time to get our server with admin rights.

Agreed Johnny...been hearing the same things. Most server rights should be available for admins. I have also heard that customization may not be the same or the server becomes unranked. BUT...if we can get a BK server and do what we currently can (for the most part), the we should jump in when they become available!!!

Yes indeed we will be getting one. Once there available you can bet I'll be all over it and set it up for BK. The only thing that worries me is badkon. I will work my hardest to get that working with AGS. Also there server costs are awesome!
