Releasing certain Battlefield Heroes server files?

Good evening dear @Electronic_Arts

would it be possible to release Battlefield Heroes server files? I saw on your Open Source page under gpl.ea.com that you released the source code of the EAWebKit for Need for Speed World which has the same shut down history as Battlefield Heroes. So why not releasing, well not the source code, but the server files for those people who are interested in getting the games up again.

What I know after my research is that Battlefield Heroes changed its backend service over the time from Plasma to complete Blaze which is still used by todays games (like the whole Battelfield series). I also know that the Blaze Service for Battlefield Heroes was released after Version 1.89.239937.0 due to the fact that in Version 1.90.240745.0 the "EABackend" folder is missing out in the game files completely.

So why not make a deal? Due to the fact that todays games are still using the blaze service I highly doubt that we will ever see a server file version above 1.90.240745.0. But why not releasing the server files of version 1.89.239937.0? They still include the old backend system of Battlefield Heroes and it is much more updated than the current 1.42.217478.0 server files.

Of course we can use 90% of the latest Battlefield Heroes content in 1.42.217478.0 but the simple reason for using 1.89.239937.0 is that it contains more Game Logic and much more content is compatible with the latest content than with 1.42.217478.0


Would be nice to hear an official answer on this! :smiley:

(P.S. I got redirected to this forum by the EA Help that I should do this to get the attention of the developers and other EA employees with the following message:

"I think it's a good point to make. Especially with game which are slightly older. My suggestion would be to post in the battlefield forums. That's the best way to get the developers and experts attention. Would be great get the feedback on board and your friends too.")
