I usualy play on the SEK2000 Servers, there are a lot of nice german/english players. There is also a balance mod running on those servers witch calculates the strengths of the teams. It's collecting his own data (no Hive data) and differs between Alien and Marine skill. So u can get verry balanced games.

I recommend to not play on this servers in case you want serious games.
Some time ago I joined one of those while a game was going on. One team was very close to winning, holding the whole map except for the last techpoint. The losing team was already a few players players down (that's probably why I got a slot and joined) so I joined them. Unfortunatly the 'balance' mod detected that me joining the losing team leads to stacked teams (because for whatever reason I seem to got an incredible high balance score after playing on that servers a few times). That lead to me getting some yellow or red cards for forcing stacked teams and an admin starting to blame me for not giving a f*** about even teams.
I want a server blacklist too please. There is a lot of servers I am never going to join or (like the SEK2000 servers) being banned on (For claiming that the weird balance mod is not as good as it's author might think. Herakles and me were on the server on different teams, but since Hera didn't play on that server before but I did a lot the balance was terrible in favour of my team, which was just completely untrue. But obviously the bigoted author was so convinced of his mod that he just banned me when I told him that^^)
So please give me the opportinuty to remove servers like that from my server browser.
Although I have played some fun games on the servers quite a while ago it seems to me the players and admins on those server do not want to play serious games and just yolo around. I find it quite sad that admins on the servers seem to be quite unreasonable and start blaming or even baning decent players who try to point out weaknesses of the mods running on this server.
Yeah I would also recommend avoiding the sek2000 servers. My computer crashed and I got a yellow card for leaving a game while it was in progress.
On another occasion a friend was on one sek server and I couldn't join as it was full so I joined the other. He then joined on me, got a second yellow card for leaving his current game and was immediately banned and couldn't join the game I was in on the other one...! Genius mod lol.
I've not had many good games on those servers and the admin mod is quite frankly retarded in many aspects.
-Calego's server when it holds its tickrate. Would love the playercap to be a tad lower but its the best you can get with a hour requirement.
Our tickrate holds now! Hurrah for improvements! Also we're down to 16 players because people whined about it so much.
I enjoy my server immensely. But lately Tactical Gamer's been my second, they've got a good thing going on there (and we need a masochist to release those TGNS mods individually for the rest of the community).

Any populated AUS server (even if all the comp. players are on). Followed by US servers (any that are populated), then EU (those guys are great, really friendly and willing discuss strats - though the ping is crap for me in Australia). Finally, a bit shout out to the French server that I have played on (they speak French - I don't), but the players are nice enough to let me play. Awesome to organise a gorge rush using text only (with only the NS terms I understand in English). Lolz great stuff.
French player : "tunnel et Topo 'rest is French'"
French player : "speaks in French"....
me : "?"
me : via text "gorge rush?"
French player via text : "yes"
me : via text "cc or power"
French player "cc"
Me : via text "go"
then our 4 gorges rushed to our death. so much fun.

Calegos server is great, but I usually fall asleep before it's populated at night.
I usually play on IBIS, sometimes diamondgamers. Mostly because they are usually the only populated NS2 servers with <100 ping and good server performance.
WOOZAS 42 man slot server, always action packed and a battle no matter where you go or whatever you try to hold, its total mayhem here is a little sequence on pushes back and forward sry that my pc is shit on recording while playing i might record an actual good game where we are not losing instead :P http://www.twitch.tv/radimaks/c/5510803
I love IBIS but I wished Zero would chuck in a few more mods and NS2_Caged, god I love that map.
What's that workaround for when everytime steam workshop gets an update it would just changed to a new map so it wouldn't stop players from joining the current map, I swear I was on a server yesterday that had it.
Think it was TacticalGamer??
P.S. What's the ip of TGNS I can never find it unless it is the TacticalGamer server I was on yesterday!
I love IBIS but I wished Zero would chuck in a few more mods and NS2_Caged, god I love that map.
I just wish Zero wouldn't disable vote kick or go AFK in his own server 24/7/364. I see more people go AFK in his server than any other, and whenever someone randomizes the teams it's pretty much guaranteed to be a bad game. I still remember one time Marines got stuck with 6 AFK's.
Totally agree about Caged also, absolutely LOVE that map. It's a shame that people are usually so against voting for it. (always voting for Tram, Summit, or Veil instead)

Yeah definitely should enable votekick but should definitely be moderated to prevent abuse!

It's specifically disabled BECAUSE he afks there in order to seed the playercount. What he needs is something to boot idle players back to the ready room so that you can at least get balanced teams.

Yeah thats all well and good but like you said that all goes out the window when RR gets randomed or force even and it chucks zero into a team to practically sit there the whole game sucking up pres, ip spawn queue and general non-usefulness, he should be auto ready roomed himself to overcome this.
It's specifically disabled BECAUSE he afks there in order to seed the playercount. What he needs is something to boot idle players back to the ready room so that you can at least get balanced teams.
What he should do is add one more slot (so you have an odd number) set up one timer to kick AFK players to the RR, a second timer to kick AFK players in the RR from the game, then make himself immune to the second timer only.
That way vote kick is still disabled, Zero can still be AFK 24/7 to seed, he won't unbalance the teams when they're randomized, any AFK players besides Zero are kicked, and when the server is full you can have even teams with Zero in the RR.

Problem solved, everyone wins.
Shine's AFK kicker has a player threshold. The solution is simply to enable AFK kicking once 18 players join the server. You'd just have to re-join if the server dies again.
I tend to seed our own "^cV - Competitive Gaming" - server. Recently moved the server from Germany to Sweden so the pings are better for northern Europeans (Worse for US players. <.<). It's the kind of server where you see a lot of prem division players join in and rip the faces off of everyone. Not that I'm complaining, it's a great learning experience if they're not acting like asses AHEM. Great fun nevertheless.

Haha yeah I've joined this server a few times and its good to see players on par or getting my ass kicked around the map lol!
