Battlefield 2 Stat Errors

[Night Black]

So I used to play BF2, and I took a hiatus last June, with 700 points. I came back to it yesterday, and found out, although my command, kill, and teamwork points still added up to 700, my total was 2,700. I made sure that someone didn't hack into my account. (Because the command, kill, and teamwork) points were all still the same as when I left.
It's not just a display error, because the game awarded two ranks and unlocks to me.

So what exactly is going on?

Over the past summer EA was having alot of issues with the stats servers for a few weeks. Essentially people were playing the game but the servers weren't registering everyone's stats. Once everything got cleared up they gave everyone 2,000 points as compensation for the hassle.


Here's a clip from EA's support about the matter (I just dug this up now....lol)....

QUESTION
What will the compensation be for players who were active during the recent Battlefield 2 outage?

Answer
Following the June outage of Battlefield 2 stats, DICE and EA have been working to compensate all players who were active during that time for the inconvenience that we realize this issue represented. After examining all the options, it has been decided that players who were active during the stats outage will be granted 2000 points as well as a gold star. This will be awarded to over 150,000 affected players starting at 12:00AM PST August 9, 2007. There is not a public list of the players that will be compensated available, although it should include all of those who played during and around the time of the outage.

Additionally, it was recently discovered that stats from some 64 player servers during the outage period could not be recovered as we had previously believed and sincerely hoped. Stats from smaller servers were unaffected. However, we realize and recognize this still represents a disappointing loss of both time and points to a great deal of players. We want to apologize for that unanticipated outcome, and wish we could provide additional compensation.

We hope that this compensation goes some way towards easing the loss, and wish to again apologize for the frustration this stats issue represented for many of you.
Update: At this time all players who were eligible for compensation should have their 2000 points and gold star.

Wow... Thank you! That explains everything plus the gold star that I got 2 months after I stopped playing.
