There’s been quite a lot of discussion on the forums about this recently. Basically, Electronic Arts are refusing to allow us to sell ranked BF2 game servers (because to do so you must be a member of EA’s trusted partner scheme). Every time we try to make contact, they either ignore us (and believe me, we’ve tried everything, even leaving people voicemails and inviting them out to lunch!) or they reply with a pre-written response along the lines of “the scheme is full”.
Battlefield 2 is going down the toilet. When ET Quakewars comes out, the toilet will be well and truly flushed. The only way to restore the game to its former glory is to have more stable (and cheaper) game servers online. Cheaper game servers = more people buying game servers, therefore the game becomes more popular; simple! And we hope to charge 99p per slot for a BF2 ranked game server, just like all our other games.
Please sign our petition by adding your name in a comment below. The more signatures, the better. We will then send it to EA, as a final hope that they will allow us (UK’s Biggest GSP, without BF2 servers!) to host ranked servers of their game.
We, the undersigned, would like INX-Gaming to become an EA trusted partner for the purpose of selling Battlefield 2 Ranked game servers at 99p per slot. EA, we have had enough of this idiocy!
Give them the god dam servers!
Do they not understand this makes them money buy letting INX sell the servers!?!?
We need ranked servers! It makes the gaming experience more fun and competitive, it just aint as good without the rankings! Please put them on!
WE WANT SERVERS!!
We would really like some cheep decent uk servers! plz EA could you allow them to host it
I, as a staff member, agree! xD
Ranked servers please EA!
Yes ranked servers plz! Don’t be a “ranker”… LOL
We would love some servers please
I don’t understand this outrage!
EA has too much money or what? Just let inx-gaming sell their ranked servers and they have a good deal also.
It’s way more fun with ranked servers then normal ones, i thought it was special made for ppl that want fun and others can see what they’re capabable of.
EA can’t stop selling ranked servers, there weren’t problems for a few years and now they’re bullshitting.
I will run naked now in AE’s office!
Personally I can’t understand why they would restrict INX (by far the biggest game server provider in UK at least, perhaps even Europe), from supply BF2 ranked servers. Surely they are just restricting the amount of revenue they are making through ranked servers and through people not buying the game!
Buck your ideas up EA, and step to it!
My 2 cents.
P.S. GIEV US RANKED SERVERS!
EA need to get their act together, why not let one of the main server companies do their games. What geks. Im a sargent blud
in before ranked
Ranked servers ….
we need ranked servers …
EA have never done anything for the good of the player, only the good of the wallet.
And that’s not a good combination.
C’mon. Make a reliable server technology and let someone who will not rip off your customres sell it before you find all your casual players gone to other titles.
INX-Gaming should recieve ranked server to sell at these great prices. I can’t believe that EA haven’t given the UK’s largest GSP ranked servers!
GIVE INX-RANKED SERVERS!
I cannot understand EA’s position on this.
Why not let INX host ranked servers ?
C’mon EA…i love playing Battlefield 2 and i only play on ranked servers. I know that INX host very good and high quality servers and i would love it if they could host ranked servers.
If they did, i may think about getting a ranked server from them
Please let em have ranked
INX have always offered value for money in terms of quality service, and since the focus of the Battlefield series has always been online gaming, it makes a lot of sense to allow them to host ranked servers.
For one I would rather play non-ranked games on an INX server than ranked games on a non-INX server, on the basis that I get frustrated with lag, and really annoyed when characters teleport (if you think I’m exaggerating, what else do you call appearing 10 feet to the left of where they were the frame before?).
Denying INX the right to sell ranked server slots seems to be a move that can only have a negative impact on the Battlefield community, by denying them a source of cost-effective quality servers to play on.
I was the one who started all this off, LOL.
I think Inx should have ranked servers as theyr’e the UK’s number one largest GSP!!
GO INX!!
Just Do It!! GO INX!
Its a complete farce and a joke.
EA – Give INX ranked servers, do the right thing in the interest of the gamer for once.
I would like INX-Gaming to become an EA trusted partner for the purpose of selling Battlefield 2 Ranked game servers at 99p per slot. EA, we have had enough of this idiocy!

The {BofB}Community fully supports INX-Gaming in getting the EA’s trusted partner ship. Although i think there hard heads after this time they spend in getting this mark.
Dont lose INX-Network as a customer, because of an old word:
The customer is your king, with it your country will fail!
All the best from the {BofB}Community!

EA you are making a big mistake!!! LET INIX sell Ranked BF2 Servers!!!

EA…games are good,but atleast with bf2 being so old now why not let inx provide ranked server’s?
We at wsat support inx to the full plus we have a small group with bf2142 and getting into the partner ship should get us one step closer to achieving in that area .

our clan has just bought 2 new boxes from inx, and we’re left on the multiplay servers, which although are alrite, they are more expensive than inx, and we need an entire box for a 2142 server and bf2 server….
basically, we nnnnneeeeed inx to be allowed to host bf2 ranked servers
EA needs to get their heads out of their arses, and let inx host ranked servers, NOW!!!!!!!!
EA give them the rights to host inx ranked servers!
Do they want to loose money, or what?…
