I've always wanted to try this server out, absolutely fantastic server, we had some great games.

Only thing is, people get kicked for players that have reserved slots, other than that, amazing server, the skill level is generally high and you don't get that "OMG COMM" that you get in most UK servers.

    Yeah. I would rather the reserved slot system be used where there are closed slots that only reserved slot people can use. I'd rather get the feeling of not being able to join than being able to join, having about 4 seconds of fun, then being kicked out.

    The kicking system is <b>very</b> annoying for me. It causes my computer to hang and the blue screen comes up.

    The level of teamwork in that server most of the time is really something else. If only I still had broadband. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Apart from the kicking I love that server. Great teamwork like the rest said.

    yep I agree... plus I live in France and I think the kicking works with the highest pinger, which means I inevitably get kicked at least 4-5 times a day <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Glad to hear you had a good time, sorry about the reserve slot kicking, it is a necessary evil. Drop by our forums if you have any questions www.cofrfps.com since I am not sure everyone cares or is interested in having it on this forum. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    not played a lot on CoFR but thats mainly because its US and i'm UK and because its full a lot of the time.
    I've only ever had one bad game there, which was as aliens when marines spawncamped for ages. Thats the exception there though - very high skill and great teamplay. A fantastic server and community.

    I play mostly on Roo's because i have a reserve slot. Btw - the 8 reserved slots on roobs #2 leaves the server with 6v6 with no reserved slots, which as we all know is the most balanced for 1.04 (5) With the increase in reserved slots and some regulars having spots this has actually made the server more availiable, as we are now using reserved slots instead of public ones.

    I always find it rather annoying to see all these threads about servers that, as far as I'm concerned, simply don't exist. Even possessing as I do possibly the third fastest internet connection service in Australia (1500kb/sec ADSL) playing on these servers, whilst they sound great, just isn't an option. I know there are plenty of other Australian NS players and we can't all be playing on Optus and Gamearena (see, we Aussies can through around obscure server names as well <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> ) so are there any decent private NS servers down under?

    Btw I'm not trying to be hostile here or anything <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Umm... that is me encouraging fellow CoFRs to play on the CoFR servers... on the CoFR forum...

    Not that I care about whether people pimp their servers on official forums, if someone came to our forum to pimp their server I would on the other hand not approve. This is however CoFR telling CoFR to play a CoFR server on the CoFR forum, not quite the same.

    Get it? Kind of like if Starcbucks would leave a Starbuck pamphlet on a table at Starbucks. Now if Joe's Coffey would leave a pamphlet at Starbucks that wouldn't be appreciated. If Joe's decide to leave pamphlets at official places, that isn't Starbucks problem.

    I play on CoFR when I can get on, and I agree it’s the friendliest server iv been on, im in the uk and ping is not too much of a problem. The teamwork is outstanding! and the Admins are of high calibre.

    I do play on uk servers as well due to the reserve slots on CoFR kicking me about 10 times a day, although i do have great games on the uk servers its just not the same. im sure if i had my own reserve slot, CoFR would be the only server i would play on.

    Just take the time to play on CoFR for a while, then play on other servers and you will understand what i mean, the games are just so different, and its nice not having people type, omg, wft, ffs, or swearing on voice comms every time they get killed, like they do in the uk.

    all the CoFR members that play NS have one, there are about 250 of them i think but not many of them play NS, theres about 85 people who have access to a reserved slot, only 19 can fit on at anyone time though.

    I do play on Roob's sometimes, but most of the time it's only got about 5-6 players on it? Maybe it's because of the times I play, but I tend to go for servers with 10 people on them at least.

    That said, I do like Roob's as well.

    I gave up on playing on servers, which have auto kick.

    I don't have anything against them, I just find it far more fun to play on servers which don't. Therefore when I find an auto-kick server I remove it from my server list.

    What really did it for me was the day I was playing as the alien side’s gorge. I was our team’s only gorge, saved up 22 resources and was about to drop our first resource tower when I was auto-kicked.

    It sucked for me and it sucked for the entire alien team.

    Just think of it this way: reserve slot kicks are motivation, the cooler you are the more likely you will get a reserve slot sooner and stop being kicked. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
