DarkOne already mentioned that Multiplay had a deal on until the end of May - £103 per month.
Is anyone interested in paying towards getting a server up an running? I would be willing to pay a 1/3 (or maybe even 1/2) the costs. I'm fed up with crap servers and no teamplay.
Anyone interested?
Cheers,
MadAnt

Is there one more player interested in putting in £100 (for three months) of their hard earned cash to get a decent server back up and running?

I'll put it on my card if you like, but only after I've got the money. Can you guys wire transfer money?

Paypal? Online banking?
For some reason i get the feeling western union is dodgy...is it?!

Problem with PayPal is that they'll take about a tenner of it in services and fees. Plus I'm not sure if my PayPal account works or not! :X

We're doing vanilla BF2, right? I don't have Special Forces because it still costs £19.99...like...tbh wtf...£20 for a crap expansion!! I don't get it...
How about Euro Forces? I would be willing cop out $9.99 if you guys want it.
mogambo
May 23 2006, 06:45 PM
nah just keep it vanilla
SF is allright, but its not true BF2 IMO...the night maps totally bork that game
Not many people play EF although Operation Smoke Screen kicks ass.

Vanilla is all I have installed right now. I have SF & EF, but couldn't be arsed reinstalling them. I'll reinstall EF if Gambo wants Operation Smoke Screen tho'. I'll leave the maps up to you, as the previous GS map rotation was always good. Can you please make it 3 rounds per map again?
Glad to see BrightAsh is so happy.
See you all soon.

Now all we need is Zniky and the Sheriff and we could get ourselves a good group of regulars back. Oh...and Niccaman. Am I missing anyone else?

How can i not agree with Ash on this one, his news of this "event-of-the-year" sure cheered up my day (and believe me that day didn't start out all to oke). Hell yeah i'll be back probably need to run an update ore two (havn't played in like a month or so) but thats no problem.

Bought the server just now; still waiting on Ant's bank transfer but as long as it comes we'll be ok

Should be up within 24 hours.

YES, great news. I have a exam tuesday, after that, you'll be seeing me online :-D (and maybe tomorrow a bit)
could you change the IP in the subtext of the "server chat" forum, so we can look it up?

Not exactly

But after the demise of GS finding another server that offered consistant gameplay with a bunch of regulars that understand what teamwork means is rare. And don't forget that GS was very well adminned.
I tried al lot of different servers, and had a short list of servers i frequented. But one day it was great the other it was crap. And getting tk'ed or BS'ed around by teammates tended to kill the fun, that you should have, after a long hard days work

(after saying this i feel "old"

Money went out my account on Tuesday, so you should have it Friday at the latest. All I need to do now is find some free time to play.

excellent server is up and running!!!! Whats up with everyones servers crashing after a couple of maps.

have dice or EA said anything or are they hideing counting their cash

I'm trying not to play too much at the moment until EA/Dice fix this bloody game. If I wait around another hour for the server to fill up only for it to crash 3 times in 15 minutes I'm going to kill someone.

May 30 2006, 01:54 PM
Are all servers crashing after 1.3? Or is it map/server/??? dependant? I've not played much since the new patch.
