    Re: People Quitting BF2

    I dont see how it is possible that in a few days the combined total of people playng 2142 can excede the total of everyone palying BF2 in over a year
    so true, I cant see it either.

      I don´t know if the EU allows it or not, but if we pass 1 Gigs of downloads then we pay some euros for every 100 extra megas...I don´t remember how much.

        but isnt that data cap for anything? i mean it doesnt use any more or less data for you to play on a portuguese server than it would to play on say, a german or even a US server... the ping would suck more but youd use the same amount of data playing anywhere in the world.

        Perhaps your fellow players are just going elsewhere?

            xfire stat shows minute played by all player last day. It is not total players who ever play the game but just time instead.
            For example from that stat BF2 was played 1233 days total by all combine time of all players.

              Yeah that sounds really fishy. I'm quite sure this would be against European law (as mostly everything is :) )

              but isnt that data cap for anything? i mean it doesnt use any more or less data for you to play on a portuguese server than it would to play on say, a german or even a US server... the ping would suck more but youd use the same amount of data playing anywhere in the world.
              Exactly. There would be absolutley no reason for a fee like that. Plus the ping wouldn't even suffer much from switching from a portugese server to a Norwegian one. Either your service provider is blatantly violating European law or they really found a good loophole. Either way they are ripping you off and you should complain.

                  Battlefield 2142



                  Definitely a downturn, but not the end of the world. Personally, I've noticed a noticeable reduction in noobs and smak-tards. Looks like they've found a new home in 2142.

                          This means that at least here in Portugal more than 2/3 of the players quited BF2.
                          Is this a Worldwide trend or just here?
                          What is happening in your servers of choice?

                          P.S. - I posted this after reading EC-Paulus post...
                          Looks like you're right. Even in New Zealand with 4 million population we have way more than that, around 30 ranked servers.

                            It is probably calculated based on some kind of average.

                            grena, I've just queried EA's master server and it says that there are 7 BF2 servers from Portugal.
                            Entretanto, apenas um ranked. E está vazio.

                              Seems to me there's been a definite thinning of population on servers in Australia since the BF2142 demo came out
