I had a thread about the North American system a while back, but thought one about serveme.tf in general would be nice to keep you all up to date.
So if you haven't tried using serveme.tf yet and you're from North America, go to na.serveme.tf. There are 9 free servers to use and 1 just for donators. All of them are provided by tragicservers.com, that sponsorship is the reason there is a North American system at all, so I'm very grateful.
If you're from Europe you can go to serveme.tf. There are 19 free servers and 28 just for donators. All of those servers are provided by community members with spare capacity on their dedicated servers.
All of the servers in the system have these maps installed and available for fast download. I think most, if not all league configs are installed (miss any configs or maps? leave a comment).
You can use these servers for basically anything except pub/mvm. So practicing rollouts, mixes, lobbies, scrims, officials, tournaments and even ZOWIE invitational cups
So here's what's special about serveme.tf:
- Free to use (source code is free as well)
- Many locations, so you'll always find a good ping
- Automatic zip with the logs and STV demos of your reservation
I'd love to hear any comments and suggestions you might have to improve the system.
