'[R-DEV wrote:Riki_Rude_BTYC']one question what is the point of passwording the servers with that password?

I dont think there is ment to be a persifc password, but a password to stop ppl playing in the server.

hi all,

first of all a big thanks again to the dev team for the mod* bow down*and sorry for the novel folks...but time has come for action again (unfortunately)

in advance:sry for "foul" english ->milkeyway,earth,europe,germany, sir

its realy getting more and more off a plesure to play this mod (with no ABR) offside form on our ranked servers or elswhere.the mods are finally appearing and gameplay is getting back to that what it should be and to that what it was, thx to prmm.playing for fun and not just bitchn around for kill/death strike- ,win/loss ratios and other "badbadgebitch" actions (just a joke KingS, hehee).in my oppinion,the way ea brought up all this was already the worste part for the game and already only for that,that´boykott day is worth it

.the ranking is a nice gimmic for the game,but its result and what it realy made out of the game(play),or out of the most players, ruined this whole nice game in the first case.as you see, i already was pissed before the game was released or whiles releasing.....but thats a other story...but thats where it all began

to cut it short *lol*, cause i have to work 3,5h

how shall i say...hm...well i'm sick and tiered of beeing ea's beta tester,patch over patch for nearly a year now, for a game that i bought and that was released nearly a year ago!!besides that, being overshited with mickeymouse "boosterpacks", expansion packs, the upcoming of the "sequel 2142" (big boosterpack haha

and the maingame isn't fixed at all yet!hello!?!?! i'm not gonna buy AF and neither 2142!!i'd rather send this or other money to the devs of prmm and also other modders.till now i bought all expansions of this game since 1942 but EF was the last one for a while ,till i see signifficant fixes for the maingame.server and clientwise. and if ea continues to keep throwing stones on the path, between your legs @ PRMM and other modteams, than for sure this boykott day is woth it for sure.i can understand, that prmm as a modteam,will or can not support this day,once one shouldn't bite the hand that feed one,but thats excatly the point! taking and giving or the other way around.ea|dice should communicate with the community or atleast or eaven better with the devteams of mods.best example 1.3 with prmm

to bring it to end, allthough i could continue and continue.i went through all this with activision and infinty ward since the release of call of dury II.and i think most of you know, what crappy bullshit the released with no punkbuster,noobindicators,no sdk tool for nearly half a year and still more,more and more to mention. but live is to short and those of U guyz that know what they released, know what its like to be a player or eaven worse, a admin in cod II since ca. HALF A YEAR now (8 months OMG). we also shut down our servers at that time of the community protest.

and did it help?!? i would say yes. the more we all talk or write about it, hear and elsewhere, the more it gets to the public.forums, sites, press or which ever medium automaticly brings up something if alot of people just only start to do something.expecially in the in the times of the internet.it's the best timeperiod of humanking to get something more known and finally maybe someone will notice, that we just don't eat everything what they feed us.the end of the it was, that there still is no end.the first patch with punkbuster came in april atlast, but still its a fight with customs,the guid problem and a few other things.guess till autumn|winter,surtly just before codIII (the fixed codII version), will "run".thx alot AC|IW.just like @ bf2

. the annoucment that cod3 will be released only for the console in the begining and in the following year first for pc,is maybe a right step.maybe this time,they will take their time till the release and not push it for xbox first and give the pc dudes a consonle arcade version @ the same time!?!?maybe it did help.

however,i didn't wan't to support this bf2-bday.info or any other petition|communtiy action, that started explizit to the 1.3 SQUADHOPPING before the patch, in the first case. cause i think all this started with the outcrying of some clans because of the upcoming news for the changement of the squadhopping. i think that was one of best things ea brought out to the game for a change, after prmm of course

. but all the other points in this bf2-bday.info"action" make sence.the prmm trouble it caused,crashing servers since 1.3 and who the helll asked for a vehicledrop without squadleader request,who!??! i have ended up warning people on the server NOT TO DROP VEHICLES ON BUILDINGS|KILLING PEOPLE OR BUILD BARRICADES !! thx ea|dice...no words no more, till a lot of things change here.

for that, it's not ,as also writing in that petition, to say "f*** you" EA, but to say a little 'hello' and show some presence. that should let them see,recognize and notice that we, the community lastly buy the game,play it with mods for years, pay the ranked serves (for members and alot of coumnity people that only wanted to play that way,once no mods where out in the beginning) and that they should not bite the hands of the modding devteams, cause they are the guyz that make games eaven last long,long,longer than vanilla stuff and also can sell games

our two ranked and the two mod servers will be down with name

bf2-bday.info |BUT NO SQUADHOPP SUPPORT..in the mods we trust

something like that

ok, power to the people and the peace

thanks for all the work with the modjob,guyz...playing it "feels like heaven" finally*sing*

keep up the good work soldiers and a nice weekend @ all

...wake me up...when 1.3ember ends... *sing*

over and out

ps:help out that this game doesn't end like this one started....<- click me

(also in english)

ps2:turn on your sound and check out our Intro Movie -> 10 secs wait with highspeed-> 10 mb -> 10 mins viewing -> that will make U, don't turn around..yes, U, think about it...<- click me

*warning*

Ok, I don't get the idea or significance in this boycott. What is the blocking supposed to represent? I mean, a boycott for a day on a one-time purchase will mean absolutely nothing to a company. As well, you only stop playing, not buying, so they lose nothing from this. We have to hurt their profits, and what matters to them to make them respond. Not playing one of their games for a day will do nothing for the player community, as we have already paid for these games, and EA is not making any more money off of those of us who have already paid. If this boycott is supposed to represent the number of customers they will lose if they keep doing things without an OK from the community, locking servers is not the way to do it, as that just represents the number of server admins who don't agree with EA's ideals. The players will still play, and people will still purchase the next Battlefield game. The way we have to do this is to not buy BF2142 until half a year after it comes out. It's gonna be a n00b fest anyways, it's got mechs!

for me it looks as though it's "only" "the squadhopperfraction" + a few that are finally realy pissed maybe like me! with 59:7012 (only game-monitor..sounds like a psalm *lol*) servers now @ 7 am in the morning (meanwhile 10:30 with 86 servers) to me here i ask my self for what!?!?of course its one thing not to play,but only with a huge ammount of shut down servers atleast ea|dice or who ever would take it more serious

59:7012 for me doesn't look like a communtiy that really wants to have things handeled in a differnet or better way.well,with cod we really had very good reasons for shore to do that action,and thousand of clans|servers joined,but i'm getting back to the first feeling (the one U should mostly listen to), that i already had in the first place.most of these guyz probably really just wonna squadhopp and nothing else + some that are pissed.correct me if i'm i'm wrong.they used the word patches and mods in that petition very well, just to get more people on their side is my opinion;at the moment.well,if one starts a "war",and noticeses that something is going wrong or isn't that correct and maybe made a mistake,like me, then atleast one should have enough guts between the legs to say it and to end it again.we're all only just humans mr.spock and no machines!

maybe it's just cause i already was pissed off about EA with the ranking in the first case,before or just when the game was releasing.then all these patches with positive but more negative effects.rather annoying for admins and modders then for players i suppose.but after 1.3, as we where back to crashing servers again,"incompatibilty" to the mods and i saw what it actually did to the devs off this mod,and that some had this bf2-bday.info in their sig also, i just exploded and saw red.

it's just...that sometimes one has to ruttle against the cage, to let them notice, that you are still there !!

however you right griffon, and i'll do that what you and i already said|wrote to myself and others.i'm a big bf fan since 1942 but i will just not buy any addons or even 2142 of this game till some things change here.i'd rather donate it to mod teams.even if it's solved or better ,who wants to go ahead on "sharqi" in a mechwarrior.maybe shortly funny,buts that about it. i guess and 4 shore those who came to this game from counterstrike and hopefully will go and play 2142 after this.i havn't played bf2 much at all since 1.3,just helped out filling the server whiles i minimize the task to work,thats all.as soon this 1.3 "disaster" is over, a hotfix for the last NEW error issuses arrives and finallly the devs of prmm can bring out their hotfix, i'll get back to playing again with joy.....till the next patch comes out, and i|we finally end up their again where we stand now.i could bet,that till patch 1.6.1b it should be playable atlast again...thx a lot...just in time to buy your next hardware and windows vista because it'S incompatible to BF 1942 II..thx *headshot*...the sooner humans leave this planet,the better is

back to topic

if not more servers, clans and offic. bf2 sites with "A NAME" join into this by this afternoon|evening, what i dont think, i'm out of it and atleast we died trying hehee.let's see

besides that, i think there is so much more sorrow, calamtity and horrible things still happening in this sick world, that are realy worth to boykott....!!

maybe now i understand why requiem answered.....who knows?he has his reasons with:

No, we will not be supporting this

whatever

sorry 4 making your eyes|ears bleed and also 4 my english hehee,
but it's á satanic drug thing,you wouldn't understand
-> MonsterMagnet

a superb weekend to all

thx a looooot for the making of prmm;
sound donation on the way to the ultimate.maverick, sir

in mods we trust

bang your head

ea bugsports...it'S in the game

amen

ps:wake me up when 1.3eptember ends and prmm is back in my hands

ps2: 173 servers @ 15:48pm.i'll leave them down for today,atleast then i can look in the mirror tonight and say we died trying.eaven if it's only 1-2 % but if that 1-2 % also shutted up in the third reich, it never would have ended and changed

opps, i had Gloryhoundz running yesterday, much fun, too

stoned_itse · Post by **stoned_itse** » 2006-06-07 14:00

sry guyz,was to busy these days

273 servers of about 20K makes it up between 1,3 -1,4 %

well,atleast we ruttled @ the cage,but probably not loud enough for them to hear and notice.so what,if one doesn't try to get better,one stops becoming good.dont know if the translation in english makes sense.however atleast we tried to do something and not only talked and discussed.

here's the german part and below a quick,and very bad english translation

Battlefield Boykott Tag geht zu Ende (5ter)

Von gestern Nachmittag 16 Uhr an, haben die Teilnehmer des Battlefield 2 Boykott Tages das Spiel ruhen lassen und die Server unzugänglich gemacht. Insgesamt haben 273 Server und mehrere Hundert Spieler an der Aktion teilgenommen. Zumindest ist das die von uns offiziell ermittelte Zahl. Ob und in welchem Maße der Tag von Dice und Electronic Arts (EA) beachtet wurde, lässt sich zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt noch nicht abschätzen. Eine Reaktion des Publishers steht bisher jedenfalls noch aus und auch das letzte Communityupdate vom 02. Juni lässt keine weiteren Rückschlüsse zu. Sollte eine wie auch immer geartete Reaktion erfolgen, werden wir an dieser Stelle darüber informieren.

Keine Reaktion ist jedoch kein Grund, den Kopf hängen zu lassen. Gemeinsam haben wir diese Aktion zu Ende gebracht und gezeigt, dass uns nicht alles egal ist! An dieser Stelle bleibt uns nur noch eins zu sagen: Danke an alle die mitgemacht und die Aktion unterstützt haben!

*******************************************************

Battlefield boycott day came to an end at 16 o'clock yesterday afternoon (5th).

The participants of the Battlefield 2 boycott day didn't play the game and made their servers inaccessible. All together 273 servers and several Hundred players had taken part in the action. At least this is the number officially ascertained by us. Whether and in which mass the day was considered by Dice and Electronic Arts (EA), cannot be estimated at the current time yet. In any case, a reaction of the Publishers still is pending up till now and also the last Communityupdate from the 02nd June admits no other conclusions. Should a reaction however occur, we will inform you at this point about it.

Nevertheless, no reaction is no reason to let the heads hang down.WE have brought this action up and to an end and shown, that to us not everything has to be acceptable and that we do care! At this point to us only on thing remains to say:

Thank you @ all who have taken part and supported the action!
