Greeting Soldiers,

 

I have noticed a spike in the number of bans related to advertisement material in the game. Let me remind you that advertisement is strictly prohibited in both our Game and in our Site. If we detect anyone advertising, there will be a permanent ban on both your account and PC.

 

So there has been some rumor about new SF Private Server (I shall not name it). I would just like to share some slight findings on that site. Have you noticed the number of hard codes on their so-called "Portal" especially on the server status ? Why is the server status always shows the amount of  player in "US" is 4 and "PH Server 3" is 1 for the past few days? Apparently, the "coder" does not even know how to listen to the port to check if it's online and increase the count when there's a user connected to the port.

 

Secondly, have a look at their domain. It's a free web hosting site that uses V Host on a single server. Which means that a single server can have V Host as its a shared hosting site. This is pretty much a red flag, showing that how good is the "Coder" which does not even know how to set up a basic zone record on a TLD(Top Level Domain), let alone going into packet sniffing on transport layer to run a private server. (Layer 4 in OSI Model)

 

Thirdly, they promise PH Player to have a PH Server with DDOS Protection. As PH players might know that PH does not have any DDOS Protection Service / Scrubbing Center. They promised the player to have low ping 10-60 pings for PH Player. I can guarantee you that it's a lie about PH Server Dedicated Server with DDOS Protection and low ping. Obviously, the "Coder" does not know that most DDOS Protection is based in US / EU. In Lehman terms, the player connects to the PH Server then the PH Server connects to US / EU. In the case of PH player not realizing, each packet trip to the DDOS Protection Service for analyzing takes around 220-300MS (Round Trip / Duplex Connection). So if you do basic math, 10-60 ping to PH server and additional 220-300 MS to DDOS Protection Service, the minimum ping will be at least 230 MS and above.

 

It is up to you to believe me in me or whatever, if you think that I am Bull Shitting / Defaming the other site, your more than welcome to wait for the service to be online :). The choice is up to you. Of course, there is more red flags out there, I just only stating the basic 3 points, as there is too many red flags to flag out. I can write a whole entire story book about my findings on the other SF Private Server site.

 

If you can't be a hero, go under the sewage as zero
