I am somewhat unsure where this thread best belongs, but seeing as this is a Bnet Community related post:
I was just thinking about the new rent a server option for console [url=http://blogs.battlefield.com/2012/03/ps3-update-live/][link][/url]. The update for Xbox 360 isn't out yet, but it should be soon and should include the same options. Basically you pay to rent a server for up to 90 day blocks for about a dollar a day. (unless you only rent for 1 day. I believe there is already a Bungie PC server for BF3)
Anyways if you haven't guessed it at this point, I am suggesting we as a community open up our own server or 2 for community gaming events such as the community carnage, or even the next community pentathlon. I know BF3 was a big want in the last one but trying to organize a game on public servers would have been foolish.
[i]Update [4/5/2012][/i]
I have just discovered that I can sport a server banner. Since this server is for community use the Bungie Community or Bungie logo would suffice but I need permission from Bungie. So Bungie if you are reading we can has?
Server: BNG Community Server
Status: [b]Online[/b]
Mode: [b]Conquest & Rush[/b]
Classification: RANKED

I would assume we would use both. The community is large after all and multiple servers=multiple lobbies. 1 Server=alot of disappointed members who weren't able to be the first poster at the announcement of the new carnage. Also while I do update this thread the some basic server details. I accept all community ideas as to what our primary games, maps, and rules should be. Also all Bungie community is welcome a free customary VIP slot in my server as well if they post their Gamertags. However as far as organization. The mains is a great place for basic discussion of the Servers where people can find out about their existence. I believe the Ninjas and the Webteam would agree its organization should remain confined to the private chapters. As you know my Server is being organized and maintained in the Bungie Community Army, and I believe Community Carnage has also partnered with them for its integration into the Community Carnage. No server is official.
