Point of Existence 2

POE have announced that the first beta release is coming soon.... would the admins consider running a server when it is finally available? Interest in BF2 has inevitably dropped a bit perhaps this would renew interest as it will feature a AAS type mode which we all enjoy.

Have been waiting for this for some time now.
Wil be there if it is on a non SoG raid day.

POE's release will go like this:
On Tuesday August 22nd at 7pm PST we will release server files.
On Thursday August 24th at 7pm PST we will open up a passworded client torrent release
On Saturday August 26th at 12noon PST we will release the download links and torrent password.

I'm going to tread carefully on this one. EA are close to releasing Patch 1.4 for BF2 and god knows what that will break so messing with POE at the same time may be more of a headache than any of us wants. Of course it may just work but we know how good patch 1.3 was don't we <_<

I'd support the idea of running a POE2 server. After all, we've used a second server before now to try PRMM 0.3 and (currently) BF2 1.3 co-op.

BF2 is currently in a slump within the community at the mo. I'm loathe to say that this mod will be the shot in the arm that it needs, but it would be nice to try it. The co-op server is especially under-utilised and could be retasked IMHO.

The likes of TL, OB, BB, Gandy will need to be on board - as they're the guys with the access rights to install server-side. It depends on their workload with all the new forum work, etc, as to when it could get done.

EDIT: And whilst I was posting, BB's given a more official answer. Looks like we'll hold off until 1.4 is released, and we see how much a bag o' spanners it is. :wink:

I agree with all you have said, I'd just like to see 1.4 released and everything running stable before we try POE.

Yup. I'm feeling a bit better these days so will be able to be a bit (lot) more invovlved than I have been able to over the last few months. I know that this has contributed to the slow decline of BF2 here (well that and the fact that the 1.3 patch was a screw up but lets not go there).

So, in short, keep monday nights free guys we will be back. :clap:

*clipboarded*

Though I'm pretty sure you're not meant to just bandy that password about, but I guess there's only a few hours til the full release anyway.

outofsync · August 26, 2006, 04:08:20 PM

the password is up on the Total BF2 site
