<div class="IPBDescription">I need some recommendations</div> I've decided that I'd like to play Natural-Selection again. I had stopped playing after my old clan/community (Online Evolution) had broken up. I had also become bored of all of the combat games being played, and have since moved on.
I want to get back into the game now. Can anyone recommend me some pub servers to play on? I'd like to do pug, but IRC is blocked for me at my college. (JMU) Here's a list of what I'm looking for in a server:
-Experienced players
-Friendly players
-Loads of teamwork
-Mostly NS maps in rotation
Can anyoe here give me some recommendations? Thanks!

Great community, theres almost always some yo-guys on there, full of teamwork usually and its classic maps only.
But if you ain't in the UK/Europe I can't help <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Theres also FR31NS, but that runs CO when theres a low player count)(64.37.227.122:27015)
Plays Co with low player counter (5 or less), other than that plays NS. Best pub I have played. This server has more teamwork than I have seen in any other pub. Also no game effecting plug-ins for NS maps. You can spawncamp. They wont ban for skill.

Cause IRC is blocked at his college...isn't IRC required for clanning?

AIM or some other instant messenger could work too, but IRC is to prefer.
Can't you connect to gamesurge via their java-client found on their site?
I'll definitely add all of the mentioned servers to my favorites list, thank you very much. I actually remember playing on lunixmoster along time ago as it was one of the first ones on steam. Tactical gamer sounds great; I forgot to mention that I do like CO maps when there are less than 6 people as the games have a tendency to be extremely one-sided otherwise, so that plugin/setting's perfect. (PS: I like ff=on too, which TG and FR3 have <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

From your descriptions you are looking for these two server. They both describe perfectly your desires and will ping well from anywhere on the easy coast USA.
ventrilo is much more important than irc for clanning, in my experience.
that pirate server isn't that bad, I get good pings to it up here in MA.
My recommendation is to join a ventrilo server, get to know some guys on it, and play pubs with them.

Quoted for the truth!
Most likely they just have a whole slew of commonly used ports blocked. Most university ISPs port block to some degree, but very few acctually block websites/indiviual clients.
NS Classic - 82.138.247.145:27015
NS Combat - 82.138.247.145:27020
NS Mixed - 195.149.21.203:27015
Plus, you can sell your proxy server services to other students <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->.
for gamesurge at least, Slim.NY.US.Gamesurge.net port 9960.
Or you can find a server that supports SSL, which uses a port like 9999 and encrypts all your traffic
Ironically, all the older OnEs were leaving about the time, while the founders did the whole MGN thing.
You can go check out MGN if you want, I've talked to a few old OnE buddies here and there, but not much since I dont think OnE has a home, just MGN.
I invite you to play on our server any time, and if so, bring Pumpinator along. I haven't talked to the old chap in ages.
