What are high point servers?

Re: What are high point servers?

Its very misleading because it is called "high points".

People think these servers are good for getting a lot of points quickly (point farming) but they arent...

They are good though for getting a lot of points in a single round. Like I said earlier, I have gotten over 200 points in a single round on a high point server. But let me also say that the game lasted well over a hour long.

So if you want to play for points, dont go in those types of servers.

If you want to play a competitive "personal" battle against another team, these servers are fun. Since there is only 8 players on each time, you actually remember who you killed last, and who killed you, and who are the good players. It becomes very personal, and a fun game. If the teams are even, the game is really fun.

Its especially fun if you have 8 friends (clan mates) against another clan... and your entire team squads up, and you all work together. Very fun way to play. Long games.

I totally agree, it's a much more mellow type of gameplay and much more personal. It's a big break from the craziness of 64 player karkand servers.

Re: What are high point servers?

i recall reading those threads, but do not recall a definite official answer....

There is no clear cut answer, however the official word is this:

Really it falls to an admin. If admins are running a 64 size map sever with a small population wracking up points then thats a violation

However it is ambiguous on purpose because I do not want to dictate exactly how you must run your servers. Even though there are some who try to hurt the system through exploitation and poor sportsmanship I do not want to punish the proper upstanding admins who are just trying to have a quality server environment.

To a certain point this falls to a players own awareness. At this point most players recognize that if they are in a server where most players have a 160+ point score then its likely they should not stay on that server.

Basically it is open to interpretation. If you want to risk it and play on high point servers do not be surprised if EA wipes your stats. I get the feeling that in the very near future they will dedicate a month to wiping/resetting/CDKEY banning all the hundreds of reports submitted to them by BF2RS and BFROE that check out. That would be the most hilarious thing ever.
