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!

Hey - I wonder if you'd consider putting our competitive-style public TF2 server in your server directory?

It's a pub server - running a competitive style configuration/maplist/weapons so it's aimed at the competitive community. I made a forum thread about it here: http://teamfortress.tv/forum/thread/11809-eu-wdg-competitive-style-pub-server
IP/Port: server.wdgclan.co.uk:27015 (IP: 109.201.148.199:27015)
Location: Europe

Thanks very much in advance!

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

Thanks for the kind words!

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!

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:

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!

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 :) )
