For the next 30 days you get to play on a free server that I rented.

First game tomorrow night at 8pm.

See the "Announcement" in all forums for details.

Download the patch tonight before you go to bed!!! EA site real slow and the 500+ MB patch will take HOURS!

Details in the announcement.

I can't make it damn it. Wife planned a dinner party for Saturday night. I'll try and sneak on as a couple of the guys may want to see the game. Have fun mates.

Folks. Send me an Pm with your username (EA Games Username) and I'll put you on the server list.

I'll need an email addy too to send you the temp password.

The server is empty now. So Wake Island is a great place to practice on all the aircraft!!!

Well there is no one on the server now, so it is a GREAT opprotunity to practice aircraft.

Three immediately available if you spawn at the carrier (pick the inside spawn point)

Fighter-Bomber

Nope. Have you? LOL

Ohh BTW MPW. You are a Site Administrator for the server. LOL

I made you one ten minutes ago.

See my PM and go to the server manager site that I linked. Seems pretty easy. You have the same controls that I have. Except the bill in on my VISA. :rofl:

We need to talk basic rules and agree on them. For starters:

Let's do it on voice over IP. I also invited PigPen to be an Administrator too. For now the three of us can manage the site.

No team killing
No base raping
No Copter/Fighter hogging.
No profanity...Kids will be on...
Make it kid friendly.
If the server is full then non-Rangers get booted for Rangers (unless it's a friend of the site).

i admined a medal of honor server before..i would suggest avoiding custom content..mods and such. I would also consider what maps you want to run

bill on your visa...that is a good one

Kubra Dam and Kirkand are my favorites. Run the 32 player maps vice the 16 player maps. The 16 player size take to many goodies out. Damn, I wish I could get on tonight. Freakin dinner party.

It's a 16 player map because the 32 player server is twice the cost. Once we get enough members we'll go to 32 player map.

My buddy Carlos, who is a real great guy, is going to recruit a few Dolphin fans to the server. That will be a hoot! Get to shoot the bastards in the head! LOL

i am going to guess it costs more to rank it..

Not really sure offhand but it'll never get any type of hits if it's not ranked IMO, assuming we're going to keep it a public server.

I paid 8 bucks a slot for PUBLIC. Private is 4 bucks a slot.

The thing should be ranked. It stated so when I bought it. Otherwise I am getting ripped off.

I put in a ticket. Did you get a chance to check the status page?

Because it presently is not listed as public. Trying to fix that with EA games.
