If you get the chance in the next week or so, please go fill up walkerfade.no-ip.org -- it's the server that will be used at the upcoming LAN party, so it would be nice to know in advance if the performance "feels" OK to a spectrum of players.

I have YO on my favorites, and I occasionally join Wireplay; I have to admit that one thing I like about these servers, is that nearly every round is enjoyable. Sure, the game can get frustrating at times, but the elitism is kept at a minimum usually, and having people with whom you can actually play rather than compete against more than makes up for any downside you could find on them (and by you, I mean me).

they might have decided you are makaveli and banned you, that's been going around a lot there lately
The only server I play on really is [I AM]'s Gorge's Hideout. If there's not enough people there, or the marine team is being stacked every round, I probably won't play at all.

Plus it can also be fun teaching newbies the game, which is why I usuay visit that server at times. Nice regulars who actually help newbies learn instead of just criticizing and insulting.
nice playerbase offsets some poor rules (no F4ing means lengthy, pointless one-sided end-games) and maps with sub-par gameplay (shiva, bast (sorry mendasp), hera, machina)

and I'AM when nothing else to play
I try to visit the main ns servers regularly. In the last 10 days I've probably played on YO, TG, G4B2S, SEK2000, Wireplay classictastic and VH2.
Just reading the title I knew I was going to find blatant TG PR...although I was hoping to get in prior to....
We need a parity of "<b>PIMP my ride</b>" for ns servers.
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.
