To All:
We usually play on Tu and Th nights around 8 pm EST (GMT -5). [ranger]_webs and myself are always on (well most of the time). I know many of you are well versed in BF2, but here is link with the version of NAW plus the map packs that we run on the server.
http://www.dukenet.ws/modules.php?name=BF2_LinksSince webs and I are on vacation this week, we will be playing tomorrow night (around 8:30 or 9 PM EST). I just configured the server (it is sitting next to me...) to run 32 player NAW with Waterfront and Karkand II (I am always changing the server config...we also run AIX and of course vanilla BF2...sometimes Co-op other times Conquest). If anyone wants to "test" out NAW, feel free to join...as mentioned earlier, there is NO password. Also, there is no need for an IP address. Just type dukenet.ws in the IP box in BF2 and you will be there! I see that HammerJR joined the RangerBoard tonight, I check it daily...it is the best way to contact "us". Your home page looks cool. You all should look into using PHP (I use php-nuke)...it is powerful!
I installed an "EA" stats database yesterday, I don't know who your webmaster is, but if you want to setup an }}E-F{{ stats database, tell them to contact me. Here is the stats link...
http://www.dukenet.ws/modules.php?name=BF2_StatsI will check this forum tomorrow as well as my own.
Thanks for acknowledging that we are a family outfit. I have autoban setup for every profane word that I have ever heard. If I see one that is misspelled...the player gets banned and the word gets added. Like many of you, we have kids that play.
If NAW is a problem, we can play regular vanilla BF2. As I stated in the previous message [ranger]_webs and I will be on tonight (our kids probably will be on too). I spoke with Rolyak today...he may get on as well. As far as a future date is concerned, I can't tell you one at this point. Once I talk with everyone, I will be able to give you a few windows of opportunity. Also, if you have a time/date in mind, please post it on the Rangerboard!
I didn't mention this earlier, but my server is ranked through gamestats.ws. By default, all unlocks are available. All medals, ranks, etc. are awarded in the same fashion as EA stats. The great thing is that it is free (Mr. gamestats does accept donations...). Here is a link to my stats (they have a forum avatar like regular BF2 as well)

http://gamestats.ws/data/?go=serversAlso, anyone can check the [Ranger] server (through other means as well, but this is an easy one) status anytime...
http://www.dukenet.ws/modules.php?name=BF2_Server_StatusThere are 8 players online now (1:30 pm EST) on my server playing NAW. I highly recommend getting the mod...it is a awesome mod that is a nice break from regular BF2...
I'll check back later...
Finally, webs and I have been playing on your server for a while...it is the cleanest one we have been to yet...
I have all of them, but I like Karkand II and Waterfront the best. I think both of these maps come with the MOD, but I truly can't remember. Your best bet is to get them all...that will ensure that whatever we are doing, you will have the map.
Here is a link to my site that has links to the revision that we are running...
