That's just insane and those are outdated prices. We charge $120 for a 32 slot BF server and although were not out to make a buck on gameservers, we don't give them away as charity either. Those high prices might have been legit 6 months ago when BF was a huge cpu hog but they fixed that issue in version 1.38. Maybe that is where you guys are getting that impression, old data? There was a 60% reduction in cpu load a few months ago but I don't know how much the bandwidth traffic was reduced if any. I posted earlier some stats on the real life bandwidth usage we see on BF servers. I changed that subject though not expecting this one to continue... sorry about that.
