Quake Wars to have persistent stats.

Oh, so it'll be like your average Counter-Strike server.

I don't like the idea much but, it's not actually a problem the way they are doing it. There's no unlocks. So all "ranked" means in QW is that its a pure server (like "PROS" settings if you will) and that when you play on a ranked server your kills/deaths, and other stats are collected and counted on the official QW stats site.

So the big difference between that and BF2 is, in BF2 if you played on a non-ranked server, then you were "wasting your time" because your time (points) wasn't counted towards your global score, and didn't get you closer to the next rank (and next unlock gun).

But in QW if you play on a non-ranked server, you aren't "wasting time" because you don't lose anything by playing there, your stats just aren't counted on the official stats.

Also, id/activision/splash damage don't make any money off the ranked servers, and the ranked servers should cost the same as unranked (UNLESS of course the 'trusted providers' try to gouge people but I can't see how splash damage would stand by and let that happen.
