ManowarRune: Headball Up / TDM Down
To keep things fresh I changed the TDM server (which has been really dead lately) to a headball server.
We're again the only people running a 24/7 headball server so we might get a bit of traffic.

GrenMano I was actually wondering if I could bug you about getting a server or two to help with 'World' once we get it up and running. For the moment we just have testing and such to do so we can handle that with our own resources, but in terms of hosting it for actual gameplay, your servers seem like they'd be more up to the task (ours tend to slow down after 4+ players, even dedicated.)
Anyway, lemme know how you feel about that.

ManowarWhen the project is finished, it's a definite possibility. I can probably set one up for the world project as I'm pretty flexible about what should be running on the other two servers.

POKRISHKAI hate Headball, such a stupid game type. They should create an assault first and then think about such shit.

Pretty sure he means the other two servers as in, not the LCA one.

Socketboyheadball is the best time i had in runeQ!!!

PencilThere's a perfect idea if I ever saw one. Full Caliber TDM was absolute garbage and the maps were pretty foul. I think we should definitely go ahead and upload the HB-BedroomRevival map as it is my favorite.
Headball is one of the best gametypes Rune has ever seen but no one quite understands that too well (dipshits). Socketboy, Kwakhed, Shady

, Woodzy and I... were great players if I recall correctly... that was some fun crap. Headball was the only game I completely whooped my favorite person in the world (Shadzy!) in in a 1-on-1. I love that crap and people do come when they see it played -- how many people seriously don't own Halls of Valhalla... and how many that do don't go to the "populated" server tab at least once in a Rune session?
P.S. Why would they bring an assault into Rune? They don't even have a good CTF (Capture the Torch is very plain and no one ever has interest... that is unless we had a 'Low Caliber Capture the Torch' dedicated... then people will definitely come just like they do for Sarkball) let alone the time to waste on an Assault conversion... there's a reason it wasn't in 2003 (I still hate the gametype just because Pete liked it a lot... people like to brag about underappreciated gametypes).
SPEAKING OF
SARKBALL [and sorta speaking of]
SNOWBALL FIGHT mods...

ManowarActually, we did have a Low Caliber CTT server long, long ago. It was dead, I don't think I ever saw anyone in it... and that was back when Rune was pretty popular too.

SocketboyYeah CTT sucked for some reason. Even in CTF for UT2k4 it isn't all that.
the best time I ever had playing it was with about 20 people out in the woods with a small stream as the boundry line. That is how it is meant to be played.
Snowball is cool, but it gets old. There are tons of "nifty" mods we could always do, buuuttt........ yeah. I like Lowcal arena and headball best. I also used to like just messing around with just the dwarf battle swords in 1 on 1 arena. More fun with just swords than hammers.
What else is it that we used to do? For the tourney and all that I lost bad in? I guess it was just AR maps. Them ok too.

POKRISHKAMeybe I just need to play more Headball. I played it about 4 times and got tired of it. I guess it's becouse I don't like big swords and fight with roman one in Headball is kinda stupid.
Sun January 30 2005, 10:27 AM
ManowarYeah, using lowcaliber weapons in headball is a really bad idea.. lol. Obviously I'm not a big fan of the large weapons but the general strategy of the game makes up for my disdain of those weapons.

MercucioI would personally love to see some viking raid action
