Something weird happens to Origin after you get 50 friends. I've been having to re-accept friend requests for people that have been on my list for a month. It only started after 50... O_O
I can't find Raudi_DW or Jeffpm on Origin using friend search. Are you sure those are your Origin names, guys? If so, make sure your privacy settings allow you to be found via Origin ID.

Whoever is updating that list, I'm Schmattakopf on Origin.
And depending on the total cost and location, I'd give a monthly contribution to the server.
Edit: I read a few posts above. New York is fine with me, so just depending on the cost.

The total cost is going to be anywhere from $83 a month to $100 a month for a 64 player server. It depends on which host we end up going with. We've already collected three months of rent, but all donations are appreciated.
Per-person donations have ranged from between $5 or so and $30 I think. There really isn't a set minimum right now though. In the future, it may be $5 a head for a reserved slot, but only if we get enough regular donors to make that financially feasible.

Btw, PjotrStroganov | mrntdybtrsbgvrs can be put in Euro West.
Sorry, didn't notice my location was TBD. I'm in Ohio, USA so I guess technically East.
So excited to have a good home server already lined up for this game. I know I've said I can't donate due to personal issues, but I'd be willing to help out in ANY other way possible. I'm unemployed and will be for a long time from medical issues so I have all the time in the world to help out if anything is needed.

I wouldn't mind having some dedicated blocks of time set aside every week where FF is enabled, but I'd prefer it to be off for 90-95% of the time. Even though it's a GAF server, not all of us are going to be playing on the same team all the time. We're going to get dicks or poor players who team kill for fun or by mistake somehow.Mully said:

After playing a fair bit of hardcore in BC2, I agree - FF is good.
I understand it not being on all the time, but at select times it would be awesome.

Fine with me. Others will complain that one day a week isn't enough though.
Maybe we could switch every four hours? People would complain that they didn't know FF had been switched on though... hmm....
I definitely think we need a re-vote, maybe for month two, where the people that actually show up to play with us get to vote (not to mention where we make sure donor votes are being counted). I have a feeling that people with no intention of ever playing with us voted in that poll after it came up in the news thread. I know at least one guy did, and I'm sure there are more that just didn't come out and say it.

I'd like a hardcore server 24/7, but I know that's not going to happen
That's the thing; We don't know right now. It was like 80% for off, 20% for on, before people started calling anyone that wanted it off a console peasant (and a pussy, a wuss, etc) and voting yes. I don't know if these people have donated, or if they will be playing on PC, or anything.

I'd honestly like FF more than one night a week, but we'll have to see what GAF thinks. Seemed like a lot of GAF wanted FF in the other thread.
I think I'd like hardcore more if I didn't love the spotting mechanic, and if I enjoyed being one-shotted by snipers more.

I don't think we should have FF on days if it will be off primarily. We want to get a lot of regulars so that it's always full or close to, and changing the server rules periodically won't really help things.
That said I'm fine with either setting, but it's clear that FF on would require a lot more admin work.

I hate spotting and I get one shotted by snipers in regular BF, so hardcore is now my mode in BC2!Mr. Snrub said:

Up to $337! Someone made a $20 contribution and didn't give their name, though.
Kalnos said:I donated $25 to celebrate my $3/hr raise. Also, I would prefer FF to be turned on so I voted for that as well.
Also my account name on Origin is Kalnos. Location: Louisville, KY... Virginia server would be perfect for me!
congrats on the raise. see you on the battlefield.

I'm not going to join the master race side anytime soon.
However, can I donate in name of my former PS3 friends and bequest the reservation to them? Of course the amount would be of norm.
If yes:
Let's say PersonA alredy donated for the month. If I make a donation in his name can he get an additional month of reservation?

Dreamgazer said:
We've almost gotten to four months of rent, so it is probably time to start thinking about making donations more standardized (instead of everyone donating a different amount). $5 could equal a month, but we'd need to guarantee that we could get 20 people a month (on average) to donate. I don't think right now is the time to make the change though. We've got at least three months from launch for people to try out the server, see if they like it, and decide if they want to continue supporting it. At that time, we can think about converting dollar amounts into a length that the person has a guaranteed spot.
Right now, no one that has donated will be kicked out of their reserved slot for not donating within the span of a month. Once the time is up for our server on the funds we've received so far though, the collection plate is going to have to go back around. At that time, we should have a standardized amount for how much a reserved slot costs per month.
(I hope that made sense)

Understandable.
I'll just make a general donation now then.
LordCanti said:
Whoops, sorry guys. No mystery, that was me. I got a very nice tip from a very nice cougar the other night while bartending at my catering hall and thought I would pass it on.
I really can't wait to play with all of you.
By the way the donor's name is Hot Cougar Lady #8. She's a regular. Here's to flirting with the cougar for that GAF server paypah.

Wow, thanks Dreamgazer--appreciated! It won't be forgotten. We'll figure out how to "give" it to someone, but as Canti said, now that we've gotten just about four months, we'll probably work out a more standardized system for ensuring a reserved slot.
We are now up to $398! If you donated and forgot to give your name, please PM me your email address associated with Paypal, so I can confirm it's you and not some bum trying to take credit

Oop, my mistake, $389, but still! We also have 30 donors. Would be epic if we could all play at the same time.

This is going so well.
Can't wait for the beta.
I made was doing my finance plan the other week for the next term of university and I included a monthly donation to the server in it - that's how dedicated I already am!

It's been tweeted. It's officially $398 now, come hell or high water

I'm amazed at how well this is going. I doubt any other groups have $400 raised towards a server at this point. If they have, I doubt they collected all of it within less than a month.
Pennybags said:
Same here. Origin doesn't inspire any confidence in me that Battlefield 3's launch will be issue free.
Every single time I log in, I have to accept a friend request from at least two people that I've had on my list for months.
I'm going to try here, since no one in the other thread remembers:
Does anyone remember who made this? I'd love to use it as a twitter avatar/background potentially, but I'd like permission to do so first.

Just pre-ordered BF3 today with the birthday coupon(Got a code on Sept. 18 even though my birthday is in July, pretty sure I put my legit birthday on the account) and downloaded Origin. Haven't been watching too many videos so i'm going into this game pretty blind and can't wait for Tuesday. Should be playing with one of my friends quite a bit but I wouldn't mind playing with some gaffers during the beta and release, especially if there's a server up.
