[hlds] TF2 West Coast Issues [IMPORTANT]

2009-01-05 Thread Randy W
Is anyone else noticing issues with West Coast servers? There's only ~150 - 200 servers showing up for me on the West Coast, and over 1600 on the East Coast. Earlier the number jumped around between 50 and 200. I'm also certain this isn't an issue on my end, as other people I know are seeing the

I would like to know, too. I haven't had a problem with the list, but that would explain why my West coast Insurgency server has suddenly been unusually empty for about a week. It was #1 ranked last week, and now it's at #5 according to GameTracker. I know of one person on the East coast

Hey, don't you run those Q-Clan servers with fake players and redirect players from empty servers to full servers using an exploit with an HTML MOTD? If I'm not mistaken, you also used other various exploits to somehow restict players so that they could only go to your servers. At least thats

let me guess you are one of those people who use fake clients too? I would like to say first that *PAT* does NOT run any fake clients. We believe in playing by the rules. As you can see from the fake client thread we are not one of those clans: * - Lotus Clan - -Q- - ]TGP[ - CircleX

There is no server instance on that IP. A google search of that IP comes up empty. You can google any server IP and it will get a result on at least some of the websites that track the servers. Thats completely empty. It doesnt exist. Maybe thats why it's not on the master list? It doesn't

But but! An admin from CircleX posts on this list and he said he runs vanilla servers and is on the up and up! (Too lazy to dig up the emails about it where I called him out on it and he denied it.) It's jerks like those that make legit admins harder to come by, and the games less fun.
