Every day I've logged into doom seeker there has been a vanilla server up. Sometimes 2 sometimes 3. The problem is no one is on those particular servers at the time so I go play Classes TLM and get lambasted by everyone on the opposite side.

They are up, but apparently I don't see many people in those rooms. If you want target practice, let me know and I'll see if I can hop on and, at least, make things interesting for you.

I usually don't see 2-3.

They don't always say "Vanilla" in the name.

I did see a couple that had, literally, "vanilla" in the name, but never more than 1 at at a time. I seen 2 or 3 that only use the default pk3 file as a requirement to join that server. I know there is a dedicated server that is vanilla.

It's kind of sad to see that I'm not the only one who quit due to mod overload. I honestly haven't been able to join a server since version 2b. Eventually, I deleted the game and all it's files. Recently redownloaded it to try again, and lo and behold... still no servers that I can access.

Well today a couple hours ago almost all the servers were down for a bit. There is almost always at least 1 vanilla server.

Yes there was a day or so I couldn't access all the servers (not sure when). Though usually there is at least one vanilla server up, but usually it's pretty empty.

I have quit since then unfortunately. I am not planning on coming back until MM8 expansion is finished.

Yeah, you kinda came at a bad time. Most people were playing in the big "mapchella" event that we had going, which is anything but vanilla.

I've had my team dm vanilla server up for a while now.  Most people should be able to join that without any issues.  Whether there are players or not is another story.

That might explain how it went from most servers being vanilla or using maybe one or two custom maps to... well, no servers I could connect to.

Hm... I suppose I'll hop on tomorrow and see if your server, or any other vanilla servers are up. If so, I might just start playing again. Thanks for informing me.

Howzabout we have a neat little event where several hosts get together and host some vanilla team-game modes (CTF, TDM, and TLMS)? New players can learn about the game, get to know some older players, and just have a fun time. I really want to be able to make new players want to hang around here, rather than just quit after two or three days due to an unpleasant community, all the number of wads to download, lack of interest, ect.

At the very least, we should make an effort to get some vanilla TDM going today.

I support this. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help here and I will try (though an 8 - 5 job basically is just punching me in the face).

The reason no one joins the vanilla servers is because they're empty,
just tell me the name, and I'll wait in them!
