    Default Battlefield 3 dedicated server pricing might be prohibitive

    Battlefield 3 server pricing may be prohibitive

    First server prices appear, over double the cost of Bad Company 2 servers

    And the bad news keeps coming. I wonder what this will mean for 64 player servers in SA.

    They will probably settle for 24 player servers with our bandwidth in SA and the machine needed to run this.

    To clarify the situation, without breaching our NDA with DICE/EA
    iGame as an RSP, should we finalize paperwork for the hosting of the title as stated in this announcement thread -

    Will absorb the cost of providing Free Public Servers as we do with all other games
    There are a number of factors that come into consideration in this specific scenario, but , and once again without breaking our NDA with DICE/EA I can confirm that should we host the title, there will be 64 Player servers in South Africa hosted by iGame

    Yes I hear BF3 will use extra special bits & bytes, which in turn require extra special servers.

    Nice to see igame hosting though.

    Great to hear Xero, this puts my fears mostly at ease for now.

    Looks like MWEB will also be hosting servers, hopefully that's another couple of 64 player servers.
