The information on our official pages do count as an official statement. You will notice on the back of the game it says
“Activision makes no guarantees regarding the availability of online play and may withdraw online service in its discretion without notice.”
Make me happy Dr. …
Because stats update in your game its all ok ?
No, it’s not okay. I don’t like the way things turned out, I’m not disagreeing with you there.
What I’m trying to point out is that the situation is different from what a couple of people will want you to believe and that includes some of the Activision employees.
No matter what anyone says, stats are collected, they get updated and you can see them from within the game. You just can’t see them on a website. There’s still a difference between ranked and unranked servers as far as stats are concerned. They get recorded on ranked, they don’t get recorded on un-ranked.
This is not about the way I think things should be. It’s about the way things are at the moment.
Dr. Funkenstein
what’s the point of stats if you can’t compare it to someone else anyway?
Dont you guys thing it would be a good time to stop paying extra fees for ranked server and start more custom ones? If every servers arent ranked, then the noodles will play on unranked (cuz basically they wont have the choice), end of story, more mod and community content, everyone is happy…
Peace

such actions can cause lot of troubles for activision even in US, let alone other countries, especially EU or Canada.

We at [MCE] get 2 servers Free 
thanks to Battlefiled.no. But with the contract we cant change them to unrank/custom servers 
we have tried. So until master server goes down there will always be 2 ranked servers. But the servers are laggy as hell :rolleyes:
We at TAW have several custom maps and mod servers up for ages, yet still the player interest seems to be with the Ranked
We will be transferring pretty soon.

Why SD not get teh forum database from Actifail? Is surely easy provided the latter allows.[/QUOTE]
I can bet they will have tried, they did put this forum up straight away after the site went down, I guess now as Activision have severed their ties with id software they don’t give a crap, so it’s easy for them to point fingers…
Apples when i join the community it was in patch 1.3
Wishlist for patch 1.4 custom maps in ranked servers nothing
WIshlist for patch 1.5 custom maps in ranked servers nothing happens again

BS?
Patch 1.3 got released for Asian version only, I doubt you’ll installed it, so your memory must be deficient for the rest of your post …
Patch 1.4, iirc, was the first patch who allowed custom content to be correctly playable online (thx to SDK who showed up with the patch, I don’t remember any SDK for 1.2).
When you say “WIshlist for patch 1.5 custom maps in ranked servers nothing happens again” that’s probably because you never took the time to look at answer for this query ? There is no custom content allowed to be mixed with the official (!) stats because you can create too easily a map/mod to cheat the stats again legit player playing base only, basically allowing such exploits would have killed the stats system and too much investment would have been ruined to allow that from publisher.
About Nirvana, feel free to brought as many player as you want midweek, it’s not forbidden, but you’ll first have to blame people who have ranked filter switched to ON and got no clue about the whole customs content done for this game. Also blame admins/player who can’t be arsed to go on another server than the one they are paying for, even if it’s only 1 day per week (yes, they can’t kick/Ban any player so they don’t care about others servers for most of them).
Yes there is trouble running customs map on base (ex: megatexture autoDL), and there is probably a lot of player thinking that promod as many hardcoded restriction turning QW into a different (and shitty) game but the problem is inside player minds, don’t blame SD/actifail only, the alternative is here, it’s only up to player to do the switch.
People with your mindset is the problem in etqw. Instead of doing something you bitch and whine about everyone elses attempt to hold what’s left of this fragile community.
Stats don’t look like the enemy? Please remind me this the next time i see some statpadders in etqw(yes, lol, i saw a few 3-4 days ago).
And w/o these forums… can’t see that happening. Nevertheless, we will still survive in irc.
I wonder what would you say if you are in first 25 on stats page …
Hypocrisy has limits ?

I tend to stay on my own server because it is small enough for my computer to run.
I tend to stay on my own server because I prefer Vanilla > Pro, as Pro lags for me.
I would place custom content on our ranked server if there was any way we could do it.
I have a ranked server because its easier to fill than an unranked server.
I love some custom maps btw!
I always find it humerous when people define themselves by arbitrary numbers on a page on the interwebs

Promod doesn’t lag, shit serv/cfg/lies does. And for most of us the custom content runs much faster than base map, and Nirvana barely reach 24 players.

Again you seems to not read posts after the 1st line …

Not being hypocrit here, I used to run the #1 ranked server… but yeah I also admit that ranked + stats killed the long life of this game, and now as actifail failed even more I suggest we just drop the ranked ones and all go custom!

I was at 20-30 in the beta days. I guess you have your answer.

Pretty much what they said.
