What about us humble 1000'ers?
There are rookie servers out there for a reason. lol j/k
1000 I would.. But I can't compete with those guys.. I suck.

they're the most fun to make angry, though.
Only 5 people will be able to play. :P
It would be called: Beta testers were 'ere.
Or the NoLifeElitePRO
Maybe I'm just sour because I only have 370 hrs =p. Though one of your admins has threatened to kick me for being elite-pro (which I most definitely am not)...
Player slots will not change. Please accept the fact, it's set to 24, and not changing. We have already tried different player slots. In fact, we changed player slots for 6 months, and the over whelming response was; people prefer the 24 slot servers. Thanks for your opinion (again), but we're not going to change it. Take a look at the 12, 14, 16, 18 slot servers in your browser. They are EMPTY. Case Closed! CHECKMATE! Next subject please.
What I have learned about this game is this: Anyone who thinks they are good with 6/6, and can run up a high k/d ratio can't really hang with action play games. In fact, there is not a lot of action in a 6/6 game. If you want to improve your skill, you must learn to play with more bullets flying, more skulks biting, more grenades bouncing, and more Fades pouncing. We have a lot of "pro" (competitive) players that play on our 24 player servers to improve their skill level. They recognize this game will DIE another quick death, petting competitive players requests (demands), and support the over all larger player base, so they can play they game they love for a long time. My own personal opinion is, some competitive players are afraid to play on servers with higher player counts, because their hive stats ranking (which they care about so much) will decline.
We created these servers just for you! You claim to be so good! A special server opened, and designed for the NS2 player with 500+hrs of experience. I have always placed more emphasis on the experience of a player, over k/d ratio. After all, this is a strategy game, a team game, and is very complex to learn. Of course, no one is forcing you to play. In the end, it is your choice to join.
We have ban over 400 players for joining the Rookie ONLY server that have over 200+hrs. (1 was a Playtester, 4 were competitive players). The server is labeled GREEN, and Rookie ONLY, yet 400 yahoos join to pubstomp brand new players. Something is seriously wrong this this type of player! We have NEVER kicked/ban a player for any skill level, ever. Never! We do however kick/ban players for rude, disrespectful behavior, and the use of the N word gets an auto perm. ban. None is these things have anything to do with any perceived "skill".
Furthermore, if you can prove any admin has ever threaten you, or another player for what you claim, I'll be happy to remove their admin abilities, no questions asked. I'll allow you to use this thread to upload screenshots for validation.
Have a nice day,
I get lots of questions about "Why can't I join the server! I have over 1000 hours in game." ANSWER: Your Steam Profile is set to PRIVATE
The mod can't determine how many hours you have played with a private steam profile, and unless you have a very high Hive Stat, or high NS2Stats ranking, it won't let you join.
So, very quick and easy solution! Take your steam profile off private before joining our servers. Wala, problem solved.
I play competitive and could care less about my hive ranking. I know the system is half broken and therefore don't care what it says. Most competitive players I know feel the same way.
Please note, I used the word "SOME". I agree with you 100% though.
Its too bad all your servers are US based or Id be tempted to give it a go.
We'd be spread across different continents as well So never enough for a game While I have way more than enough hours for this server, I would call myself a super experienced noob. Can a player as bad as me still get in the game, as I have over 1600 hrs? Or are there additional skill based restrictions?
We look at 3 different criteria to determine "experience". Hive Stats, NS2Stats, and Steam Profile hours. So, yes to your question.
KKG Rookie ONLY: obvious
KKG Rookie Friendly: 100 to 249 hours
KKG Pro: 250 to 499 hours
KKG ElitePro: 500+ hours
Is that kinda what you're going for or would it be okay if someone like me with 1000+ hrs to join the Pro server if the ElitePro is full?
Of course, anyone with more than 75hrs can join any server we have, expect the Rookie Only (for obvious reasons). You can use the word "brackets" if you want, but we're not trying to segregate players in those "brackets". Our goal is to create a game where you don't have to explain strategy, or constantly say, "Press C, look at your map."
In your case for example, you might find more "competitive" public game on the 500+hr server, because of your experience. The "experience" would obviously go down from there. You'll also find more "competitive" players playing there, which give you the opportunity to sharpen your skills. What do they say? Iron sharpens, Iron.
As for the hints of a 1000+hr server; the thought has crossed my mind. Problem is, HOW many have more than 1000 hours?
