Too much bandwidth ?

For a game with a few people on it ? No, I dont believe it was bandwidth, it might have been something else, but...no, not bandwidth.

theat game was old, there was many reasons why they got down :/ 

1. bandwith (abused because dos attacks)

2. game was too old.

3.  many players played that game but they not eoungh to maintenain it longer.

4.server and bandwdth was wasted .

Andrew, where did it say he works for public relations ? I missed that.

I did wonder about the language, but I figured he worked for EA in another country.  :-

In order to contact someone from EA, wouldn't you have to email the company?

AMIgaBot said he e-mailed EA sports, so I would think they have someone in PR or in some way someone who can communicate effectively. Unless AMIgaBot informally knows the contact.

It hurt reading the post. ;)

Maybe he was working in another country or if AMIgaBot is outside North America then the e-mail may have went to workers in a similiar country. Must be.

The reply from his friend

His initial email to his friend.

I am assuming its a friend who works for EA..well so sort of thats what it says, unless I am really mistaken.

I think we are more confused about whether it is his friend who works for EA, or a friends friend, or just a EA Company Representitive/PR Person.

Sure. I figured AMIgaBot was from poland by the email adress, wasnt sure where the EA guy was from, or something.

Because if it was a representative from North America responding to AMIgaBot, I would think the English would be better. Assuming the messages above were not translated by AMIgaBot.
