<div class="IPBDescription">playable NS servers????</div>which NS 3.2 servers do you play on?
after you answer that question
<u>which one/how many of them do <b>NOT</b> have these:</u>
- has less than 150 ping
- that contains at least 10 players
- that has no bots
- that doesnt have xmenu/buildmenu/gorgehook/spawnprotection/ etc....
- that has players that have some sort of knowledge of what they are doing
- plays only NS_maps
- doesnt have custom maps
btw the only server that fit these standards are for me is the g4b2s server
lets c how many servers there are out there that actually play the game of NS instead of the dumbed down version!

Tactical Gamer - 40 ping
except late late at night and maybe during the morning at least one of those two(well three) will have 12-16 players.
TG has better players in general, JR is good but occasionally(well mostly if OA is on) just goofing around/llama-ing. Both of them are strictly vanilla ns (except with <10 players, and even then usually), no bots (unless there are <6 players on combat). NO game-altering plugins except a combat one on TG (everyone's the same level) and a resbalance one on TG for ns (if somone leaves with 75 res it goes to the next person to join, etc). And they both fall within the game's designed player range.
I've never needed to join another server.
TG sometimes
MR sometimes
Jigglypuff and BAD are playable at times.

except that bad has lame plug-ins......
cmon guys are there no servers out there that actually play legit NS??
and tg server has 0 players in it right now...
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Actually it is full with 16 players, you are probably looking at server #2. If you join and seed #2 for a while, they will come, but honestly you'll find the best action on server #1 if you're willing to wait in line.
we just listed them.

hmm ok lets say these servers are legit.... that makes what.... 3 ?!!!??!??!!?!?

Sounds about right, but do you even need more than 1?
I've been playing on the same server for nearly 3 years. I've found no reason to look elsewhere.
But I think TG tends to be more populated.
TG just needs to remove the voicecomm kick and it will have a much better chance of populating.
Bots are a good means of starting up a server population, beyond that they are not helpful. So it's best if there's the ability to start a kick vote to get rid off all the bots once the server reaches a certain size.
I'm going to sound a bit cynical, but maybe if you all want more good NS servers try populating the ones that are there! Too many people ignore servers just because they have 0 players. Of course you can't play alone, but that's why you should invite your friends. You do have friends, yes?

Arguably the best value-per-lines-of-code ratio I ever created with a plugin. You hear your team, or you leave.
Fo real now. If you're really looking to count servers, or find some gaming utopia that meets your every expectation every time, analyze this and that to your heart's content. But if you're just looking for straight NS with decent *people* for hours on end every night, go to the TG site, find the Paid Subscription (you're not "donating") information, and be done with it. Join the server during prime time and thank yourself.
Or populate an empty server that's already there (no joke), if you've got the time for that. To do so (with results) is quite a contribution to the community.
which NS 3.2 servers do you play on?
- has less than 150 ping
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
im EU and i play on guns,
meaning i have 150ping
still i have great fun, and i make a diffrence.
i dont see how having over 20 ping will make you a bad player.
I play on Necrophix, IAM clan, 187combat, ablens.net, custom-x, custom factor, and jigglypuff
why don't you just play in a bot server if you like no social interaction and just like shooting stuff
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Because bots are boring and predictable, and playing on classic with them sucks. I can play as part of the team just fine using my minimap.
also because i dont play ns for social reasons, i play games to play games. go play church bingo if you want to gossip.
Well, there area a bunch, you just have to look...

sigh..... can you read the whole thread b4 posting ur comments...... those servers u listed all have plug-ins that dumb down the game of ns, and they mostly play combat and/or custom maps - WHICH IS NOT NS
Btw, what is wrong with 'custom maps'? Some of them are great!
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
its not about the custom maps, its the lack of the actual game of NS (w.o dumbing down the game, ie custom maps/mods/etc) that is played out there and the lack of community input that goes into future patches/versions from the devs
Sorry, can't see the points. I agree that some mods are...less optimal, but some maps play quite well with the current version of NS. No sense in denying them only because the game itself has some flaws.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
how is the game flawed? jw
my point is that a great game is dying because the community doesn't want to learn how to play the game, and instead they just dumb it down to compensate

I'm an admin for I AM gorge Hideout and we don't have any plugins that dumb down the game. We don't even have many plugins for that matter. Also, our users are able to vote on maps, and 95% of the time NS maps are played. It contains absolutely no custom maps.
Thank you.
Every other server with a ping lower then 100.
I miss the old XS4ALL servers <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />, my starting pubs!
oh, and it's doesn't have som ish cvars where you have to use voice_enable 1 etc, because it's STUPID...
We play combat from time to time to fill the server but usually there is no co_ as soon as there are 10+ players.
its vanilla combat btw <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink-fix.gif" />
ns_ uses a plugin that forces you to make even teams (skill and headcount based).
but no spawn protections, bots, gorge hooks, sporemines etc.
hmm its a german server (located in germany).
Hmm SEKs Server fit all of the things you mentioned except the "no combat" thingy.
