there just doesnt seem to be many companies that host them here.
Maybe chuy can put up an announement on the forum that we are looking for a sponsor for an austalian bf2s server and ask the forummembers if they have any idea's?
well i have searched till my fingers started to bleed.
there seems to be only three companies in aus that have ranked servers.
problem is none of them rent them, its just the big guys like node and ga, the other one i think is eaplay.
unless anyone can prove me wrong i think thats the end of the storey.
unless we want unranked, which is kinda gay....

Arent the Eu and American servers unranked?
i do belive theres another way
first off, its possible to join the ranked server sales program, but you have to run TEN public ranked servers... thats... a lot of servers ... and a lot of money money I sure as heck dont have, and i dont think could be made up very easily.
then theres this post i triped over

I have contacted them, enquiring about costs, and clearing up the other details. If this works out. My company over her in WA could host the box somewhere good and pay GameServers.net so its possible to run a ranked server on it.
All that would be needed would be the money to cover it, since i cant just afford to sink money on the server unfortunatly. problem is it has to be on GameServers.net's terms since id probably have to convince them to let me put the box outside their datacenter since i doubt theyre in australia at all

Both the bf2s servers on the homepage are ranked, mr.gibson is the unranked us server.Sarrk wrote:

@Lucractius interesting idea mate. Hope they like our offer.
Not True. Remember, Internode Gives +SiN+ Clan Their On Server, Training Server Etc.....the_heart_attack wrote:

I reckon We Could Whip Up a Deal With Node'
+SiN+ have what now... ive never seen any ranked servers from anyone other than the ISPs
you think node might do it ? hrm

im going to be sending off a letter to all the server hosting companies anyway and see what we can come up with.
good idea, can only try.
im also building a bit of a checklist to see if i can find 10 people after a ranked server... right now i got 2 lol

+1 Karma to the_heart_attack and Lucractius, hang in there guys.
Just out of curiousity the_heart_attack, did you try gamesondemand.com.au? I play a bit of RTCW - ET in my spare spare time and noticed they host a couple of ET servers (currently no BF2 that I can see), though hosting 10 BF2 servers just to get 'em ranked might be a bit of a stretch!

i know where GOD are are but id like to keep clear of em... apparently the entire management of the place is like... fringe whacko scientology types... and yah... heard me some bad rumors... though the tech staff aint bad at all they loaned a lan i was at a server, nice little quad 600Mhz box lol ran half the lan on it, aside from the beefier game servers.
Ive Already PM'ed An Admin Of Node', Waiting for His Response.
iv emailed 7 ranked server companies throughout aus and nz.
lets just wait and see what happens.
i know nz based will be no good for the asian boys here so tthf and polarbearz will have to just keep vehicle whoring on the sg servers...

good luck, gentlemen..
I think this is a important idea - I would certainly support it. Any GA People here, we could ask for a server?

If BF2s managed to get a ranked Australian server I'd show support by playing in it, however, I'd also need to stick to my ISP's server (soon to be 'node ) to keep data usage down.
Good luck guys.
Good luck guys.
would the server be ranked
Shit man, I get ping spikes on servers in Oz and I live there.... I'd play on a AU BF2S server, wether ranked or unranked. 3-4 rounds a map suites my RAM fine . I don't care which maps are run on it, as long as it isn't just Karkand... MUST have Wake on it ... My favourite map...the_heart_attack wrote:

Allright, lets me test my 1337 topic reviving skillz. *takes out me magicforumpaddles - clear!*
Did anyone take the time to ask chuy about it? Maybe heart attack can give you guys a hand with that?
Next problem would be, how to find a sponsor. Maybe schuss can say something about that cause he found the sponsor for the european server. I guess any large company which rents gameserver in australia would love a small ad on the homepage of a high traffic website as this one.
id be happy to help try to get this going.
there is alot of guys here, nz and in the closer asian countries to make it worthwhile i think.
but as i stated i think in west aus would be best but we might find it hard to get one there.
most guys like tthf and mikeshw can play on the east coast servers but other guys like polarbear have ping spikes with them, thats why west aus would be best for all.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
