I have a question for the long time players here. I recall several posts in here that state that this has happened before. If this is true. How long were the stats down last time and how well did EA communicate the problem and/ or update to fix the problem. I bought BF2 about a year and a half ago, but didnt start playing regularly until the last 4 or 5 months, so I never experienced any shut downs before. Just curious.
I wasn't playing for the last one, but from what I've heard, it lasted 2 weeks.  I'm not sure about the communication that EA put out.

from what i remember it lasted roughly 2-3 days, and they didn't really communicate b/c it wasn't THAT big of a problem

at least that's what i remember

Probably Windows 3.1. If you had a 90MHz machine, it had to be a Pentium, which didn't come out til after 3.1 and 3.11 where on the market for a while. My first was a Pentium 75 with Win 3.11, all my buds were jealous cuz they were still on 486s. Oh yeah.

It may not have even been that long. The stats have never been down anywhere nearly this long before.

To bad this time it isn't the same thing.
A few Mont's after the release of BF2 EA blocked for 1½ day all stats- sites (on purpose), so they could install a new server for the processing of the stats. The problem was that the que for updating all the players stats from all the public sites interfered with the game play. With this new server the problem was fixed. All the stats where updated within 3 days, without the lose of any stats.

This time something else is wrong, What? They say the link is broken. I think the new stat system EA has launched is the problem, why look at battlefield 2142 same thing happening. This takes to long. In a couple of day EA:...... "OUR stat server is working fine, use that one"... and they keep the link for the public servers down for a bit longer.

To bad i played for a week before looking at my stats, missing a few points now.

what are you going to do? boycott EA games? lol

not 0.01% of the players will boycott EA if that happens

a game is 40 bucks so even if they screw you, you'll bite the bullet as they know you'll continue to buy the games you like.

they are by far the biggest game company in the world.

what did you believe? that they would provide endless gaming for 40 bucks?

retards!

Here's simple math...

900 servers...  50 bucks a month...

That's 45,000...

12 months a year...

That's 540,000...  a year for a game that 2 years ago...

Um... Stats WILL be back...

and I counted low.

ha, i've got a 25mhz i486 sitting torn apart in my room right now. A whopping 4 megabytes of ram in that beast, running atop Windows 3.1 on a 129 megabyte Maxtor hard drive.

I can't imagine they did not make any backups.
Let's imagine a 1.000.000 Player (only for the worst case, maybe even less) accounts with more than 0 Points with 1.000 Bytes of Stat data (cannot imagine it's more, but if: let's assume another 500bytes). That makes "only" 1.0-1.5Gb to backup.

VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF DATA for an enterprise...

And they had only one stats server and that server crashed? So they cannot restore? No redundancies? No way!
