you can't and companies like that prey on players ingnorance... take their money then tell them 64 players isn't possible... if the player is lucky he gets a 32 slot and a refund of some money... but in my opinion... if the company is so clueless about the game.. they would be one of my last choices as a provider...

There used to be this other English server provider that had a really poorly designed customer order form... in the end I managed to "screw" it up and had it show 4 pounds (approx. $8 USD?) for a 32 slot dod server with the works... Since the amount was so little I took a chance and paid this tiny amount to see what would happen... 3 weeks later I finally got a reply (snotty too) with them wondering how I managed to get the order form to show that price, that it is impossible for rent me a server so cheap, and then they will refund me my money...

you can make it look like theres 64 slots tho.. i cant remember exactly how high you can go tho.. at some number it starts over again..

but charging ppl for that.. at least charging them the same price as 'legit' slots is a pretty underhanded tactic

You can absolutely have a 64 slot server, and I know because I had one last year. It was a Branzone server that was run on a slightly modified version of the engine (using memhack). They charged the same price per slot, and it ran fine - no lag or anything. It was just too expensive so I went back to the regular 32.
No, I'm just kidding that never happened.
