Get these issues posted in the bugs forum and we'll know about them and be able to fix em chaps. Can't fix em if we're not told about em.

I haven't been on as much lately for just that reason (server issues, not money ). About 20 seconds after I deploy, I get kicked by PB, even though it is updated. Also, as soon as I enter a vehicle, it crashes (the game. not the vehicle ). Weird.

Ok thats 1.04955 GBP or 1.19132 EUR per slot
Thats a total of 806.061 GBP or 914.939 EUR per month for 19 servers
Which is 26.8687 GBP or 30.4979 EUR each player per month, based on a max of 30

Conclusion: I have way too much time on my hands!

I was kinda bored so i've added up the total amount of player slots dedicated to FS. An amazing 768 slots are available spread over 19 servers. Now if we take the average price per slot to be $1.50 (unranked) thats an incredible $1152 spent on FS each month. CRAZY!!!!
Now if you divide that by say 30 (a typical number of players in a CG game) that equates to $38.40 per person playing per month. Makes you think doesn't it.

DS and RSF seem to be the only ones I can join atm, though granted I havent tried some of the ones that give high ping numbers.

Have any of you noticed the actual number of PLAYABLE servers in the list is small with most causing you to either crash to desktop on deployment, or if you do get on and deploy a heavy shield or AV mine they completely disappear. These same servers cause all players to CTD if you deploy a prox mine or det pack. Some even give the modified content error.
Is this just me or could it be the case that most people having problems with First Strike don't actually have a problem as such and are just trying to join these servers? I know Rogue Tribes server is affected at the moment although the DS and RSF ones are not.
