What does this mean? Bad news?
« on: October 26, 2017, 01:58:39 pm »

I know I haven't been playing because of the unresolved ping/lag issues (only in BF2 oddly enough).  Will the servers keep running and just see a drop in player activity?

I always wondered when EA Games were going to contact them and demand they halt distribution.

EA Games still charges for BF2. Other companies still charge for BF2 that resell it for EA/Dice. Revive took the game and gave it out for free. Generated illegal keys for BF2 that was downloaded from the Revive site. So in hind site, they were engaged in illegal software piracy in theory.

Sp now EA legal has come knocking. Fairly loudly from what I can see. Enough so they took down the forums and all download links or mention of any downloads. We'll have to wait and see what happens. I doubt seriously Revive will be allowed to resume unless the start charging for BF2 / legal keys distributed / and EA/Dice sent their fair share.

This is why I've always used my original legal BF2 key.

Iv been informed of a post that revive network made on there facebook post thats below and link to for said post is below. so that is atleast abit of good news amoung all the unknown and bad news. soo fingers and toes crossed. maybe they will beable to work out something with ea/dice.

So many of you have herd the news by now. We got a Limited DCMA from EA to not distribute the game or use owned artwork.

As we promised we always claimed we would honor the requests. What does this mean going forward? Well right now we are very much in limbo of how far we are to continue.

At this current junction you can STILL play BF2 and 2142 if you have a account.

We are right now as we speak in works with our team what a optimal direction forward is.

We ask right now you do not speculate anything. We are revive and right now our phoenix is ash But like the phoenix we will once again rise from the ashes anew. """

As of this point we still have a server that you can play on. Jump onto it and lets get it populated.

Dear Customer,

Ticket FEL-009LF has been updated by Zachary Williams [staff].

Hello,

I am a Manager here at Gameservers.com.

I'm sorry for the confusion that resulted from this ticket.  It was clearly a misunderstanding from a staff member regarding what was permitted, and that has been resolved.

As an aside, unfortunately, bf2revive is no longer a title we can host, as BF2 Revive will be shutting down soon.  We expect to be operating servers until the end of their paid for term, and should that not happen, we will be refunding on a pro-rata basis any time that is remaining should it shut down prior to then.

We do apologize, but without the revive server infrastructure, the game will not function as it was designed.

We appreciate your business, and again, I apologize to you for the trouble you experienced in this ticket.

Sincerely,

Zachary Williams

Well if the servers are gonna be shut down than i need to know where to find a "copy" of Bad company 2. but i dont trust torrents anymore, utorrent looks like a virus program with its faded look.

Well this sucks any way you slice it all because ea/dice doesnt want players pulled away from BF1 or hardline. which in my mind is just dumb. as theres tonns of playeres who dont want to play a game with faded old look. ( i think BF2 looks great for its time )

anyways.. this blows worse than coke blowing away in the wind :)

Well it is not dead yet, so let's get in the server and play her until she is dead.

Dear [REDACTED],

I write on behalf of Electronic Arts Inc. and its development studio DICE or, in other words, "those guys that make Battlefield."

We've noticed that Revive Network has several projects and websites devoted to being a Medic by "reviving" older Battlefield games, including Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 2142. It's great to see your enthusiasm for these titles. Not to brag, but we too get the nostalgia chills when booting up these classic entries in the Battlefield franchise.

We need a favor though: we must ask that you stop throwing down Ammo Crates. In other, more legal-styled terms, please stop distributing copies of our game clients and using our trademarks, logos, and artwork on your sites. Thing is, your websites may easily mislead visitors to believe that you are associated or affiliated with EA - we're the only ones that get to wear the "Official EA" dog tag. Since you're Battlefield community members, we know that you are smart and helpful, and will respect that we must protect our intellectual property rights in the franchise.

Please drop us a line to let us know you’re on board with this. Should you have any questions regarding all this, please do not hesitate to contact me via e-mail at [REDACTED]@ea.com.

Thanks,

[REDACTED]
IP Counsel
Electronic Arts Inc.
