Hello.
I can answer all those.
1) The fake ping mod hasn't been created by me, you created it Mr.Postman. We will switch to your new one if you fix the bugs in the latest one and provide it. And that's wrong if you say that we check customer's FTP just to change the mod, if you can give us proof, please provide ? And yes, we did change mW Clan Server's RPM Mod because they had a complaint of lag on their server, we checked other servers and they were fine, so we did a check with the old and we were right, the lag was due to that new mod. However, the latest one is no lag but does has Admin problems.
Oh wow. That's low. So I coded it in hence it's my responsibility? I appreciate your effort though.
As quoted from my MSN chatlogs as you clearly underestimate "Blood", he's the one that told us it was a requirement:
Session Start: Saturday, March 27, 2010
* AJay xxxxxxxx@hotmail.com)
* Jordi (xxxxxxxx@hotmail.com)
* Sales@v1servers.com (sales@v1servers.com)
(4:37 PM) Sales@v1servers.: hey
(4:37 PM) AJay: Yo. 
(4:37 PM) Jordi has been added to the conversation.
(4:37 PM) Sales@v1servers.: whats up u 12
u2*
hows life mates
(4:38 PM) AJay: It's good for me. 
How about you?
(4:38 PM) Sales@v1servers.: mine is ok
what about ur mod?
(4:38 PM) Sales@v1servers.: has it been done?\
and u guys started on inf?
(4:38 PM) AJay: haha no. To do this correctly we need more time. (and with correctly I mean lag-free/no FPS hogs)
(4:39 PM) Sales@v1servers.: beh
(4:39 PM) AJay: But we'll see, perhaps we start on the INF earlier then expected.
(4:39 PM) Sales@v1servers.: many guys have made H&S
it hasnt got much importance anymore
u need to think on something different
(4:39 PM) AJay: As in a new gametype?
(4:39 PM) Sales@v1servers.: probably yes
and please start on inf mod
we are really in need of it
(4:40 PM) AJay: In the RPM/RPMPro Mod INF is correctly done?
I mean, what else should we add that's already in public mods?
(4:41 PM) Sales@v1servers.: well
we need RPM not RPM pro
i want mod like 2k3
have u seen it?
(4:41 PM) AJay: Mhm.
(4:42 PM) AJay: Or like you said..
RPM2k3 started with the Hide&Seek which made them massive.
Perhaps it's time for a new gametype on 1.00.
(4:43 PM) Sales@v1servers.: i want a mod like inf 2k3
(4:43 PM) Sales@v1servers.: lower pings too, like 2k3 does
(4:43 PM) AJay: Mkay.

lowpings by 50% right?
(12:56 PM) AJay: Mhm.
So don't ever dare saying we included the fake pings for our purpose. This was your companies doing, it might not have been yours, but it was definitely related to v1servers.
2) The high ping you see is possible just perhaps because of your net, anyone I tested from has a lower ping on our server. As you can easily see, that your pings are fluctuating, if you really need I can give you 10 machines pinging ours, 2k3 and i3D.net at the same time to show who pings the lowest.
And our latest machine : 87.238.173.246 has 5 Level-3 Backbone transits so you might try that as well if it really isn't your net.
Your level-3 argument isn't really that appealing to me. When you build your own 40.000ft datacenter in The Netherlands, get live telephone support 7 days a week, have 24/7 ticket answering systems, improve the routing daily and immediately try to improve on e-mails about lag, be an EA trusted partner (etc.), then we'll start talking about your level 3 Backbone transits.
3) The Germany server is indeed a VPS but it is Level-3, you can do a tracert and its just a Test Machine, the actual server would be on a Dedi.
If no-one would've found out this was a VPS everybody would still think this is indeed a dedicated server. Just give us the actual IP of the dedi box so you have legit information.
I hope I've cleared your thoughts. We don't like to fake anyone with the pings, we just used the mod as you provided it, we are ready to change that on all servers if the bugs are fixed. We eat what we invest, we are honest and we don't fake anyone. You can simply see the pings from outside the server to see the real ones until the Mod is supplied and changed.
The lag issue was fixed weeks ago and "Blood" has received an updated Mod from us.
And all what I said in my 1st post was irrespective of the 1fx mod, even if the pings are fake, you can feel the quality.
Even though the lag is far better than before it's still far from perfect. You'll also notice that when you play on i3D.net servers instead of v1servers. It's far smoother.
Now I'd like to add a few things. Don't get me wrong on all this as it might not have been your doing. I appreciated the sponsorship until the whole community came down on you/me about the fake pings, which we WEREN'T allowed to change (I can even give you chat logs on this if you require, but please, save me the effort). On top of that I've had customers on MY forum, not even yours, PMing me about problems with your Game server panel, which has been offline for about a month or even more. Tickets don't really get answered professionally if I don't reply so I feel the company made a huge backfire on me. And I didn't even mention the 20% profit we would receive of every gameserver you sell using 1fx. Mod, which Blood promised. Never seen a dime. So yes, I have the right to be a bit pissed off about Blood or the company as a whole.
