How about we don't let this devolve into some retarded argument about pubs and clans? Because I really don't give a crap. You can go do that in another thread - not this one - because this thread's for where you play, not your supreme and all mighty opinion of where everyone else plays, or where they should play, or if they should even play at all. This thread is about what server people play on so we all know who is where, and if you don't care who is where, then don't bother posting.
*As the thread poster asked, let's keep the bickering out of this thread. This is a place to just let people know where you play. If you have a problem with a community, you can take it up with their email/site/forums/etc* --Comprox
yo-clan or vh2, you can find me down near the the bottom of the scoreboard <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
Euro servers: mostly YO Clan and Wireplay, sometimes VH2 when I can stomach the massive team sizes and how borked it makes the game economy. Sometimes NS-FC when they're not playing a siege map. I ping OK on French and Dutch servers, but anything as far as Germany and Sweden or beyond is too much of a discrepancy.
That's about it, although I have noticed the amount of Euro servers with ping<100 has trebled in the last 6 months to around 24. Right now (midnight) only about 6 of those are actually populated (with people as opposed to bots) and 2 are playing Classic maps.

I play on TG when I get the chance, but its usually full or empty. So ultimatly I play on that IAM classic server.
I've also touched a 1.04 server with bry's 1.04 a bit. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

*shrug* I'm not sure which I play the most. Just which ever I find has some friends on it.

I like combat at BAD because the last time I played it was just levels 1-10 and no xmenu/build.
But as x5 has said, stacking becomes a big problem in these servers. You'll have a full/fat amount of people, then you have good players join marine one game. Then all the good players join aliens the other. It's like waves that slosh back and forth and the current pulls everything with it. I'd still like to see a server with random as default.

if you think "bad" does justice go on a 32 player server and try commanding or fading or lerking right now. come back and you'll quickly understand why people only go marines, not like i probably need to explain this to you

Don't play on those servers, I'm at the point where there is no place I want to play on. Either the server is too large or its +100 ping or has an abusive admin staff (mob justice hackusationers) waiting to ban as soon as someone hits a 5/1 kd ratio. Usually it's just a combo of all three types of servers I just mentioned. And no, I don't want to play combat.
maybe I'll bite the bullet and try to play on jiggly with 120 ping <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

It really is quite simple.

in 1.xx it was all about [who]modified natural selection!!!

Teamplay can server is ok when Doomz is on, if Vyshus is on avoid like the plague; sticky chambers are fun
(TOmekki got banned last night from there)
G4B2S can be very fun but most of the time it is full or plagued by incessant marine stackers
187 Combat is probably the best combat server but packed full almost 24-7
That one wacky Christian gamming server is cool too except that I despise word filters and bible quotes when you die (it actually makes you not want to die because of it's annoyance factor)
TG has started a seeding program as has been seen in some other games which might make it accessible to the public, although I would still like to see a server that rewards good sportsmanship kind of behavior and teamwork with reserved slot priority.

People may look down on the bigger ones, but they give me the best ping and are generally fun. Plus, people are actually playing in there.
