I dare say he's smoking crack. It's merely a momentary database check and I doubt it would require THAT much server overhead, or cost for that matter.

More likely is that even if by piracy, they're probably trying to get the player numbers back up. I did a little online Q3A (excessive mod) last night for the first time in four months and got only a total of 197 servers (no filtering) when I brought up the 'net games list.

Maybe there are more other times of the day, but that's pathetic.
