Don't do it EA!
"First and foremost I want a Game Server Provider who can provide me with reliability. If there is an issue, I want someone I can contact who can resolve it. I've dealt with some of the bigger GSPs who have spread their presence around a bit into a few countries. Their support becomes anonymous. I choose a provider who may have less coverage, but with whom I can develop a proper relationship.
Secondly, I want a GSP who can provide my services at a reasonable cost. If I have to move GSP it is going to cost more. Having developed a good relationship with my current GSP, I have a bundle of BF3 and CoD4 servers, Teamspeak, procon layer hosting, website hosting, that I can't see being matched by anyone else.
Unless there is a reason to remove an existing GSP because they haven't performed properly, assuming they can otherwise satisfy reasonable requirements, shouldn't they be able to continue as a GSP for BF4?
If GamingDeluxe.co.uk are currently hosting almost 50% of the 350 UK based BF3 servers, surely they are doing something right that EA/DICE would wish to encourage. After all poor servers give the game a bad name, but good ones will enhance gamer satisfaction thus maintaining the Battlefield brand."
Get the word out there!
