Natural Selection 1 no servers?

krillarbran

I was hoping to play NS1 again, unfortunately I cannot find any servers at all. Have all NS players/server owners moved to NS2? Or am I having a problem just finding servers? Many thanks for anyone that can answer this :)

I'm not sure, but I would have thought there still a few servers up.
Do you have any filters set on your server browser? Is Half-Life being blocked by your antivirus?

After turning off my firewall I still cannot find any NS1 servers :(. Can you see any?

Thankyou for taking the time to reply.

67 show up in the Steam server browser for me.

thanks tschumann, I managed to get help in NS2 forums, seems there is something wrong with my HL1 server browsing, have been using 3rd party browsers instead. All is well now :)

tschumann

No problem.

74.55.85.210:27017 - Combat Server -.-
74.55.85.210:27021 - Classic Server
69.65.63.254:27015 - Classic Server
200.123.162.189:27014 - Classic Server

There are others, but these seem to be populated quite frequently.

I still see the BAD servers running still. The problem with the BAD Classic server is that it still has siege maps, and some people think it is funny to vote for them, then they (along with everyone else) will quit the server as soon as the map changes.

Just curious - on average how many players are online playing NS1 nowadays?

I just got NS2, and it seems until the next patch, the player count will remain horribly low. However it was nostalgic enough to make me want to try the NS1 experience again this weekend - assuming there's still fully populated servers.

Can anybody comment on this?

I don't see Natural Selection on Steam's statistics page: <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/stats/" target="_blank">http://store.steampowered.com/stats/</a>

Steam unfortunately doesn't have mod stats. <a href="http://www.amxmodx.org/newstats.php?mod_id=8" target="_blank">This site</a> does, but I'm not sure how accurate it is.

I wish that list would show me the server IPs it's using for it's stats. I logged into various games last night, and all of them were populated entirely by bots...

I will try some of the IPs that were posted above tonight most likely. Thanks!

tschumann

Doesn't the Half-Life server browser have a bot filter?

Beezer-1

Nope, I don't see a bot filter. Only "has players playing" in which case "players" includes bots ;(

Yeah, I just did the same after getting annoying with NS2, wanted to relive some of the old nostalgia, unfortunately the only servers populated by something other than bots had a ping from hell >.<

Thanks for the info. I've been looking for a while for a live server.

I could find any server to connect. Is there any still live?

NS is dead now, I guess. No server.

There are still 7-8 NS1 servers around, mine being one of them. I've run a NS server since 2003 and don't plan on shuttering it any time soon.

You can connect to mine at sanzen.in:27016

The in game server browser is very off and on for me. Sometimes it shows servers and sometimes it just does not work. Anyone else having this problem?
