So me and Ralph Spinks from EA South Africa, we\u2019re talking right now. We\u2019re going to start a thread and try and get Telkom onboard. It\u2019s a third party solution, so, Telkom needs to be satisfied with what they have and what they\u2019re giving us. We have to be satisfied with what they\u2019re giving us. But then you have to go to Microsoft and Sony as well, and see what they say. It\u2019s a very big project,&#8221; said Matros.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Basing a server count on servers is usually what we do and we might have to go and re-evaluate how many active console players South Africa Actually has. I\u2019m not in on the RSP debate right now and will take a look when I get back home. I\u2019m thinking you guys have increased a lot since Bad Company 2, so there\u2019s definitely a valid investigation,&#8221; concluded Matros.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"Lazygamer\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lazygamer.net\/general-news\/global-battlefield-community-manager-talks-local-bf3-servers-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lazygamer<\/a><\/h5>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45403-nag-lan-rage-2012-the-gamers-speak.html\">NAG LAN @ rAge 2012 \u2013 the gamers speak<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45491-rage-2012-lan-gallery.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>rAge 2012: LAN gallery<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45492-rage-2012-the-show-in-pictures.html\">rAge 2012: the show in pictures<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/45465-world-of-warcraft-hackers-kill-thousands-of-players-instantly.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>World of WarCraft hackers kill thousands of players instantly<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45445-games-you-can-play-this-week-24.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Games you can play this week<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45266-big-games-of-october-2012.html\">Big games of Octob<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/45266-big-games-of-october-2012.html\" target=\"_blank\">er 2012<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SA&#8217;s console warriors may yet get dedicated servers for Battlefield 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":44466,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,49,7125,709,813,287],"class_list":["post-45691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-battlefield-3","tag-daniel-matros","tag-dice","tag-electronic-arts","tag-telkom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45693,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45691\/revisions\/45693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
