<div class="IPBDescription">One more question to end the day on</div>
One thing that I really enjoy about this forum, is that MOST of the people who congregate here are actually mature players and have good sportsman like conduct. So this brings me to my next question, "What servers do you all mostly play on?" Right now I play a lot on my clan server since I find that most people who play there are mature, but, I would like to open up some more doors and play with other people as well. When you mix it up you tend to learn much much more. Thanks again. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    It is so hard to find a server anymore that has mature players in it. I help out every noob I can, not that that's a bad thing, we were all noobs at one time, but that gets so old after a while.

    [EDIT]

    Thanks for the suggestions

    I play on 3am's clan server, and have been since my 2nd day of playing NS. Part of what makes the game interesting is playing with people you know, since it's so team based... and when I go to other servers it makes me want to start kicking people in the head.

    I usually stick to any on the east coast with 8-16 players. But it seems to me whenever I play 4/5 times the server is full of nothing but bots! I have to keep remembering to check the time player connected in gamespy to avoid bots.
    But I will say this, I played on a french server the other day...
    I was alien and there were 5 of us. the other 4 were gorges.
    Spamming offense chambers and sensories at 1 hive. needless to say res flow was low and I was the only one doing combat. Cloaking was fun until they got motion tracking. Oh yea, constant whimsical music over the voice comm or silly frenchmen talking. All in all, I shoulda have stuck with the bots probably. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    CoFR was a good server today, until I got kicked... when I was in the CC.... hmm

    I don't play on specific servers, I search by whatever map I feel like playing and take the lowest-pinging server with over 9 people.

    it really mostly depends on the time you play it on. And the people.

    You really can get to a pickup game level if you find the right people, and that's always better than what I have seen on other servers.

    Indeed, there's like 90% of the french clans (if we can call them like that) that barely know how to play, but that's not a reason to not play on our french servers is it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I usually play on the RaB servers and d/y servers. (now that our server is down) Avoid servergamers ns-fr.com (I have been told that JP+HMG rushes are useless, and you needed turrets at base to protect against fade on this server)

    Not only that but I get called a cheater for winning 1vs2 fades. It's not my fault they don't claw when I'm stuck to them and they don't take carap :/

    I know. Its a shame that the average play level on fps games has dropped so low, that anyone capable of 2 actions at a time, i.e. running AND shooting, is a hax0r. I dabbled back in doom, and I became hardcore in Quake1. Ive been headshot sniping with a 500 ping way back, but apparently people cant believe this. That anything pre-cstrike is nonexistant. Slackers...
    And its still amazing that while being shot, if you stop moving and cloak, they stop shooting. So far everytime ive done this, theyve stopped, and ive waited till they walked up to me and then bite/claw them.
  • FireStormFireStorm Join Date: 2002-11-06 Member: 7390Members
    I've found 90% of newbs on french servers so far... I'll try later, maybe they'll learn how to play but for now UK servers are much better for me because there's a "normal" gameplay.

    yeah level on french servers can either be very good or damn poor... Depends who's playing, what map is on etc. But I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same on US Servers, on UK Servers, etc. Lets try this server : Badlands of the Fek'lyrs and Torment [C-D optional] |82ms|212.149.105.57:28000 : Its a finnish server and sometimes there are n00bs there too. But it's the best European server atm. Just play on it pretty late and you'll get very good games... Enjoy!

    This server doesn't exist or is down right now. I get only these french servers:

    Try the server which is in my signature and try this one : RaB 1, le serveur qui fout des webs partout.|45ms|192.6.111.90:27015 . It's shown as an US Server by ASE but it's a french one. I cant tell the games are always great but sometimes there are good ones.

    I like servers that are:

    1) 12-18 max players. More or less just isn't fun with current game balance, but this may change in 1.1 (mostly because of the resource model changes, but 2v2 still won't be fun because of logistics).

    2) Servers hosted by clans with mature players. I want admin-ed servers, but I also want the admins to be fair and act in the best interest of the server, not just their clan. Sure, care about your clan and all, but don't bother to have a pub open at all if you're gonna abuse anyone who joins it.

    3) Close to home. Eastern sea-board servers thru the eastern half of the plains give me decent pings.

    4) Servers with a solid regular player base. Most of the servers that I play on now (DW,ds, and a few others) share the same player base anyways, because of geographical reasons, etc., but I still wanted to point this out. If at least half your team knows what you're doing, you can still get stuff done, so I try to maximize the odds of that happening. Another interesting tidbit: this kind of an environment is kinda newbie-friendly, despite how competetive it is. Sure, you're gonna get completely owned if you don't know how to play the game yet (so play with bots for a few days, read the forums, etc. first), but then you can learn about being part of a team and how strats work by playing with the big boys.

    Cofr, freaks unleashed and aI servers. Uhh pretty sure all are US servers so maybe thats why the Cofr doesnt show up on a french list.... Depending on what time of the day you play usually determines the talent level. Evening times from EST tend to bring in the most talent, but also is usually full. No server is free from newbage.

    I second this recommendation.
    Roob's server is great because of the fact that there is almost always as admin around, and CD is required. The first means that lamers get kicked / banned pretty fast, and the second cuts down on the newbies because new players tend not to have CD (not to be cruel, but a game without newbies tends to be better simply because having to explain everything you say and do becomes tiresome).
