I don’t know if this is the appropriate place to post this or not. So if it isn’t, please move it (and notify me please).

Now, I have been an active member in the I365/BF2 community for nearly two years now and I have played almost exclusively on the I365 24/7 Sharqi server the whole time. Through this, I have been involved (not a member of) with Kevin (klaude), BFROE, and ROC and have had the pleasure of getting to know a lot of new people while having fun and I feel that this is the general consensus of the BF2 community. ROC has been doing a good job of keeping the servers running and clean for the entire time they have had administrative privileges for the servers.

However, it is now known that no more support will be provided for Cortex and I do not know if you understand how much this affects people. Granted, it is not the end of the world because it’s a video game, but I365 had, hands down, the best public servers for BF2 and there is hardly any supporting evidence to refute that statement. Rules of Combat has told the community that the 24/7 Wake and 24/7 Mashtuur servers crashed and will now cease to exist. The 24/7 Sharqi server (the most popular one) is now empty (0/64 players) every time I check and I attribute this to the fact that no more support is being offered for Cortex.

Contrary to popular belief, BF2 is not dead (although not as thriving as it once was) and there needs to be some good and fun servers left to play on. I understand that as The Planet grows, changes need to be made and sacrifices are sometimes included, but I have had a lot of fun over the years I’ve played BF2 and it has been almost entirely on I365 servers. I believe that it is safe to say this is the general thought of the public too. Therefore, I urge you, as a dedicated gamer, to not drop support for Cortex. Please keep it up and running.
