Just like reserving spots, you can't set up a game with a password unless you are premium.

The work around is to make a game and try to get your buddies to join right away.

If you co-ordinate it well it usually works.
Thanks for the response.
If I set up a game is it possible to kick people ...

Does anyone know if I need to have premium to create a private game with friends?
It seems I only needed it to reserve spaces but I'm struggling to make it work.
Has anyone had experience setting up a private free game before?
