<div class="IPBDescription">Find out here.</div> Recently I have been doing quite a bit of pubbing and just about every server I visit, I will get the same question at least once, if not more. "Whats that icon beside your name mean Jojo?" I have also seen people mistake the constellation icon many times for a dev icon. Here are the icons you might run into and what they mean.

Icon - Meaning

    I know the icons, and I have seen them around, but this would work a whole lot better if you actually had pictures of the icons. People will never remember what they have read here when they see the actual icons, they would have to see the icons first then go here for referance, and chances are they have already asked by that time.

    Kudos for trying to do this though. If anyone would try and take this post to a higher level.

    So I will try and be helpfull and say: If anyone sees andy of these icons try and take a snap of them and post them here, yeah, Jojoshua could then just update his post and link the images (after all, they are still only hosting within the forum <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    I will go online on a server I know and I know I will find some good icons soon. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Supposedly "mp_uplink 1". (I say supposedly because our server has trouble with the Constellation icons even with that on, but not sure yet whose fault that is.)

    Ok, I collected the icons you guys got and added the rest.

    Note: The Beta Server OP icon is grey.

    No, veterans are playtesters who were drawn from the competitive NS community for the purpose of testing the balance of 2.0 in clan play. None of these groups (except server ops) have special privileges on servers.

    When Valve releases the next version of HL, and Steam is needed for online play, all the Won IDs are gone. So, even if you donated, you will not have the icon anymore.

    Are there ever going to be any more playtesters/veterans needed or is it at max? <i>This is not a beg for a position</i>. I just feel there is a lack of European playtesters/veterans etc. Most of the UK servers I play on have no "special" people on.

    I sometimes play with fwd who are veterans and I've saw Nem once... But that's about it.

    I believe the purple icon is playtest lead, which is Grendel's icon.

    Yeah I guessed that after seeing that was Grendel on the roster at Ham's website.

    The people with the icons can turn them on/ off. I don't think you can, at least I hope you can't anyway, those people earned their icons, they should be able to keep them up when they want to, not when you want to.

    Side note: I guess the purple thing is new? A few weeks ago when I played with Grendal he just had the regular playtester icon, the yellow gorge.

    Its auth to turn on and off your own icon..
    its mp_uplink 0/1 to turn on and off the icons completely from a server. But its really not all that nice to do so. As Jane pointed out, they earned (or bought, as it is with the Constellation members) their icons. Be nice and just let them have their icons.

    Yea, the purple one which does look like the old NS GUIDE icon is a new one for Grendel (PT lead).
