Well it's not about server, but about MASTER servers. Those used to discover "players own servers" in the internet.

- masklinn 9y agoIsn't that even worse? That would require even less resources on EA's part, and is even less consequential to the actual game.
- Thaxll 9y agoYeah right ... showing homemade server by official EA servers. It's a recipe for disaster.
- scopecreep 9y agoThis is how it was for many years. Decades even. It was fine. They weren't exactly "homemade" servers either. There was an entire industry of game server rentals and these were datacenter rack servers connected to fat pipes. It wasn't unusual at all to find third-party servers with way better pings (and higher player caps) than the official servers. I don't remember the official bf1942 servers ever having 32v32 player matches but that was fairly common for thirdparty servers for example.
- ajmurmann 9y agoCan I still type in a IP address directly?
- oakwhiz 9y agoIt's too bad that something like DHT isn't used for storing info about game servers.
