<p class=MsoNormal>I know this is the unranked mailing list but I do not have
the info for the ranked one. If someone can post it there it would be great.
Seems EA is allowing knife and pistol ranked servers now since <a
href="http://myinternetservices.com/" target="_blank">myinternetservices.com</a>
is now hosting at least 3 of them for bf2142 and they remain online after many
reports against them. A lot of k/p server have been shut down in the past that
were reported to the former bfroe which is owned by myis. From what I hear myis
never sent in reports to EA about their own knife and pistol servers to make
more money. <o:p></o:p></p>

<a href="http://72.9.107.181:16567/" target="_blank">72.9.107.181:16567</a>:29900

SNIPER RIFLE KNIFE AND DEFIB ONLY!!! DRAMA FREE ZONE <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All have the myis provider id of 10029, the first one even has sponsor text
(Server Hosted by LcT and -eXo-, provided by MyInernetServices.). myis
have been notified many times and refuse to remove them. One of their staff
stated when asked about them: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>"Tim is paying EA the big bucks, and therefore they are his friends,
not Tim being theirs, and cos of their attitude, he will allow the servers no
matter what"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>"without those clients, EA wouldn't be getting those big bucks"<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><a href="http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9495/myis3zd0.jpg"
target="_blank">http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/9495/myis3zd0.jpg</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So basicly give EA a cut and they ignore your illegal servers while
others get shut down. Even <a href="http://totalroe.com/" target="_blank">totalroe.com</a>
displays 3 of those servers in a list of myis hosted servers. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>sorry for the rant but a lot of gsp's want bf2142 ranked provider status
while myis continues to break the rules time and time again.<o:p></o:p></p>
