Ranked/Promoted Servers-BF4

Good morning,

I am reaching out to EA in hopes that you can help us with a resolution.  I am a leader with *=IMA=*(http://clanima.net/Home).  We are a long-standing Battlefield gaming clan.  We have held ranked servers throughout the BF series, including BF2, BFBC2, and now BF3.  We have just upgraded our servers to ensure that we are ready for the launch of BF4.  A lot of money, time and effort has gone into this.  Now, we have seen that Art of War is not on the Promoted/Ranked servers list. http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/news/view/2955063403113065503/ I'm sure you can understand our dilemma.  Most people play, exclusively, on ranked servers.  We would not be able to gain the exposure and recruitment necessary to maintain a level of donations high enough to maintain our clan, without ranked servers.

We are an international gaming community.  We have a large member base that spans the globe.  We have been dedicated to the Battlefield series for 7 years.  We have given thousands of hours and as much money to your series.  We hope that you will reconsider your initial thoughts and add Art of War servers to your Promoted/Ranked server listing.  It is detrimental to the survival of our clan.

We look forward to your response.

Regards,
