If its so bad, why do people keep returning to his servers? There are plenty of other servers.

I guess i dont get the few comments saying this thread is a waste, basically. If people want to vent their frustrations, or compare stories, or do WHATEVER respectfully...that's what a forum is for. Obviously it's Lenny's house...he has a LOT of servers. But regardless, he's a terrible host and the only reason people still play on his servers are b/c they dont know better, they have been slaved-up by him, or they want to F with him. Certainly not that they enjoy his presence. Anyways...I wont be joining his servers. If anyone has any good servers they enjoy playing on, would love a PM

Basically I find most servers out there are fine. Most admins are either players (not necessarily owners) that play regularly and therefore are light-touch all the way, unless someone is being a d*** or an a$$.

Best way for you to be happy with your games and server selection is to add players you like through steam and then join their games. This way through association with their steam "friends", you can be pretty confident that your games will be played without issue.

There are also many KF female players out there who can play the game to a high standard (and generally arent griefers) so you can be 99% sure adding those will get you to play on servers without the same issues youve been experiencing on TT's servers.

Ofc you could just try out the different servers by joining them and trying them out... which is what I did initiallly on lower levels.

Until one fateful day... when I joined the Very Games HoE server (defunct now I think).

On a Filths Cross map with 100% FF - I joined late as a Sharpie and skewered two teammates in the head, though not on purpose. One was being raged by an FP. The other was a supp. crouching firing his shotgun and his recoil made him jerk up from his lower position... so that his head actually rose to meet my bolt....

Got a blanket ban just from that server... even though I insisted it was an accident... so I basically blacklisted all their servers and never play on them again.

I've been on many servers throughout my multiplayer life. Strangely, it doesn't take much to get IP banned anymore. This one server I was on called The Potato Patch (or Sack.)

Cant remember the name. Some admin IP banned me without any effort for playing the game. Yeah, just minding my own damn business. He tells me I have to do something when there is no danger, and this is normal mode. And I have all level 6's. Yep.. The whole city and area was banned that day.

How does I admin?...

I can't quite confirm that, I play (pretty much) exclusively on european servers, mostly on suicidal or hoe. In the last year and a half I've been banned a grand total of two times, both instantly after joining by some idiot not being able to password his server, probably.

I've been banned twice: once for kicking Lenny from his server (totally worth it), and the second ban was for using the M14; sorry, I mean "hacking". :rolleyes:

protip : your favorites will be ****ed up and you wont be able to join your own listen server if you password it

hence why banning everyone on sight is easier

It's annoying as hell for everyone else joining especially when there are only two or three servers with people playing on them.

A buddy of mine installed KF to several of his servers and we usually played in private, I never noticed any problems with the favourites. Also I don't like listen servers, but that's besides the point.

I think he means that old bug where you get an "Unknown Steam Error" when you connect to a passworded server you've played on before. The only way to fix it is to edit your ini or change the server's password.

Lenny has literally like 30 servers going, combined with his membership in the "Court of Archdouches" that count goes up to around 200 servers. So if you royally piss him, you quickly find alot of servers lines of random symbols when you search. Especially if you play in North America, if you don't then count yourself fortunate.
Secondly his servers are great, him? not so much..

He can ban me if he wants. I only play custom server. There are plenty of those.
Also, what is so great about his servers?

This lenny guy probably lives with his parents and calls his right hand his bff. Banning people in a video game is his only way to gain "respect" or any type of "authority" which is quite sad.

About the YouTube Clip

About the YouTube Clip

I have played Regular KF for at least 3 years. Almost got all my achievements on Hell on Earth, pretty much have all my Event achievements. I then turned to play on Modded Servers since Regular KF is no longer a Challenge to Me. I've been playing on servers that consist of over 25-35+ players with 800 Zeds to kill. The current Server I have been playing on is International Gaming Community Sentry Turrets/Bots|Weapons|Specimens: Default|Lvl 6-30| International Gaming Server [#1]
ico_16_join.png

Sometimes it has come to the last person ME to kill 500 zeds that are left and successfully move on to the next wave. Time's when special Holiday Events or updates would trigger a problem to Our Modded Servers and would bring them down for some time. Well when this happens I venture back to regular KF and this one server I recall everyone has died on wave3 HoE map and I believe it is this person who you guys are talking about. The voice sounds very familiar from this YouTube clip because this person was barking orders when people supposedly got him killed..I was the only one left alive as being my best perk Zerker with 100 zeds left and he Kicked me. As I watched this YouTube clip I noticed that this lenny cannot zerk! On the clip @ 8:30 He not only barks alot but leaves the squad behind and expects heals from medic waaaay in the back LOL. Learn to heal yourself dude and slow down for the team. On the clip @ 8:50 as the squad moves through the alley having 2 zerks 1 Support and a Medic with 100% armor and ONLY 60 zeds left, lenny yells at the squad not to cut through the alley. LOL? This guy is a joke. For all the players you have kicked or banned for stupidity of your judgement I wish they would come play on Our Servers to Have Fun. We have Lots of Guns for Our Perks and Lots of Zeds to Kill. And for you lenny, I don't care if you perm ban me of all your servers because I would never squad up with you. Learn to Play. :D WASSABE!
