Hi everyone!
My name's Sam aka DeadlyAvenger and I'm a clan leader of Who Dares...Grins - a UK TF2 clan/community. We've pottered around in ETF2L Div 6/5, HL tourneys and can usually be found representing at an iSeries event now and again!
I'm pleased to announce that after the idea was first brought to our attention over a year ago, we're now pleased to announce the launch of our comp-style public TF2 server! This is a server aimed particularly at those players who are looking for a slightly more competitive style of public play!
Maybe you're fed up with crits / random weapon spread or some of the unlocks that you get in pub servers! Why not pay us a visit sometime?!?
So what's the dealio?
- ETF2L-style public config (no crits, fixed spread)
- Comp-style weapon restrictions (currently the ETF2L 6v6 whitelist but this is subject to change!)
- Maps chosen from competitive map pools
- Map votes, nominations & rock the vote
- Team balance / scramble
- AFK & High Ping manager
One minor disclaimer is that at the server is very new - there may be aspects of the config that need tweaking adjusting! If anything seems wrong then just let me know!
The details:
Name: (=WDG=) Who Dares...Grins TF2 #2 | Compstyle! | wdgclan.co.uk
IP: server.wdgclan.co.uk:27015

Add it to your favourites and jump on if your team is looking for a warm-up or cool-down after a match!
If that doesn't sound like your cup of tea - we always have our main public Server #1 which runs a more traditional pub config!
Name: (=WDG=) Who Dares...Grins TF2 #1 | Public | wdgclan.co.uk
IP: server.wdgclan.co.uk:27016
I hope you check it out and would love to hear some feedback - the server is aimed at providing a great TF2 experience for those that are maybe a little fed up with 'normal' pub play.
I'll monitor this thread for feedback and I also encourage you to check out our website/forums/steam community!
(mods - if this is breaking any rules then feel free to delete/move as necessary, just wanted to put it out there for the community :) )

This has been tried by others to no avail. Personally I would love to see one of these actually work out.

Working out means people actually playing on them. I'm still paying for mine after several months even with no one playing on it, just in case someone wants to.
Good luck to OP, hope you get some players on there.

Absolutely, building a server community with regular active players is hard! We already have a community established in the TF2 community and the idea was suggested by some of our members over a year ago but we've only just been able to make it a reality.
We're really aiming this server at old-school TF2 players and those who prefer the competitive style of play (fed up of random crits? find some of the new . We're hoping that we have sufficient interest from within that we'll be able to grow the server (we're likely to be holding a weekly event to populate the server within the community) and a bit of publicity here and there should serve to take it further!

I always love it when people do this. The last one that happened I was usually always alone in it. I think it's just that mostly everyone who play competitive TF2 currently, they're busy scrimming or pugging as their choice. I think this would be great though if generally new pubbers came in and played a more competitive style of a pub, and possibly get into comp. Also, famous streamers like maybe ruwin/sezco/rays for example, maybe when they want to pub, they could hit it there, and the streamers will want to join in and it can be all sorts of fun.
Pretty much, I'd hate to see another good server die out. Although this is in Europe, it could be a problem for some.

Did you join our Server #1 instead? The Compstyle server doesn't have replays and definitely doesn't have goldrush in the rotation!

I might have, I'll see what happened!
Also, the majority of the players here are NA. Have you tried the ETF2L forums? Not sure if they allow server advertising on their boards though.

We've posted on the ETF2L forum.
As Deadly said, it's going to be tough and we're going to have to publicise wherever we can.
At the start, as a community, we're going to work on running events on specific evenings; probably Tuesdays. Hopefully that will help people get to know the server and get into a routine when they know people will be on, plus it will mean that we won't overstretch ourselves.
But who knows, it might even get itself going on it's own!

Well teamfortress.tv have very kindly agreed to list it on the site here, so it will be easy to keep an eye on it though I think they only have room for the top 10

Wow. I begged for months in several threads for this and didn't get listed.
Enigma, pls.

I like the idea and will try it out probably tomorrow! :)
What's the sv_pure setting of the server though? Without my custom textures/models/particles I get 15-20 fps in tf2 :P

It's sv_pure 1 as we want people to be able to use their sprays etc. :)
We managed to get about 13/14 people on it this evening - even made it to the 'Active Servers' list on here which is a great start!

Just to say we'll be playing on the server again tonight starting 8pm (UK time/BST). Last week went okay and the server was full for much of the time
We'll be trying to run these events weekly on Tuesdays though the server is available anytime
We're still happy for feedback too

It's Tuesday so we'll be running our weekly event on the server starting 8pm UK time.
We've now got the latest ETF2L whitelist plus metalworks which is new to us Euros of course. Exciting times.

(not sorry to bump a 1 year old thread)
Are these servers, or any other comp-style pubs, still around?

These ones are. Every Tuesday and Friday at 8pm GMT there's a group event where we all play and chat. Sundays there are random games played with community members that are decided upon on their forums.
However Server 1 is now the main one for the comp style config. Server 2 is an MGE mod server. If Enigma or someone else that can updates it, it'll be appreciated.
If you want reminders of the events join the steam group here.
