Well, I don't have any "friends" but there are people I am familiar with by name (but they probably don't care or know about 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.
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.
More vanilla game servers that include TEAM games like Team Capture the Flag and Team Death Match would be, in my opinion, one of the best things that could possibly be done to attract new players (that and I REALLY want to play CTF and not just death match). It'd mostly help because people feel less "bad" when they are working together as a team.
This game already has some really great values, such as the nostalgia it brings from the characters, maps, and music. It just needs another way to be publicized, like an official YouTube channel that has previews for upcoming patches, game modes, real matches between players (from different camera angels to look more dynamic), and, a big one, tutorials that explain, in a video, how to set up the game, the weapons, game types, skins, etc.
I'd really like to start playing this game with friends more, so please get to work on this. If I had any way to contribute, I would.
There's a 7 in my name and 7 letters in my name.
Been playing through a bit more of Ocarina of Time Master Quest. Before I go to the Water Temple (dear god someone help me) I'm doing the beneath the well at the moment. Somehow I forgot until I got to the first part that they'd be changing that too, as I was greeted by a particular enemy....
I like what they did here with this one though. Spoilered for spoilersIce Cavern will be the seventh dungeon I go to.(click to show/hide)
I must also add that Kicking the new players for fun is not fun to them most likey, more vanilla they like that, make a post of attachment telling new players without wads should probably start off there and when someone is there it's best someone else goes to greet them and perhaps play some rounds. okay keeping up with the newest cut stuff members may be a bit much to some but you could greet the new members and tell them how things work. I did let a few of my friends play but they witnessed the down falls of the game as well.
From August 8th until 8 weeks later, I will enter Basic Military Trainin', and will not be able to access anythin' electronic for those said 8 weeks. I'll miss all of folks in those 8 weeks, and don't forget about me!
We have vanilla servers, but 9 times out of 10 it's ALWAYS deathmach, and unfortunatly DM isnt the most newbie friendly game mode..
One of the Elysium Defense Zone rooms has 4 of the guys who spawn fire reaverbots: grab vacuum arm, the highest armor, and flame guard and you can farm them forever
