Can anyone help me with the names of UK based servers, the vast majority of servers I can get on Steam from the UK are German or Eastern European where very little English is spoken. Is this due to the way Steam is configured or are there really that few uk based servers?
Too many Eastern Eiuropean servers
- Thread starter TC55
- Start date
Shouldn't the correct title be "TOO FEW English-speaking servers" ? 
Too many in eastern/central Europe is not a problem, at least not for me, they have good ping and (usually) great teamplay.
But I would recommend the SPLAT clan server, if you can find some people there that is...

SPLAT IS DEAD!

Revive splat.
I think part of the problem might be what time of day you play. I know quite often that a lot of Americans, and a few Brits, will invade those German servers and take over some times.
At the same time, I've seen groups of Russian guys come on TWB servers and take over with thier funny moon language.
Speaking of which, what's up with the number of Russian who have names consiting entirely of ~~~~~~'s? Are they using cyrillic and RO defaults forgien characters to a ~?

Some Splatters still play, but a lot of them and regs have gone off to other games for now. It will be back again I think..in fact I've seen the Splats playing again recently (the server was full). Oh and Jono, its pretty standard to have a no recruiting policy on any game server, so don't know what you are complaining for. And saying you and others have tried to kill the server off is pretty sad if its true. It was the best place for teamplay imo in the UK..good/friendly players + it was full every evening.

Yes, I think so.
Speaking English worked almost every time for me up to now. That's the beauty of RO: The whole former eastern front countries share the same broken English accent, so everyone should feel right at home in RO.
The IcM server is UK (manchester) based.
- Its running on a 2.8ghz quad core, (only run 40 players though not because it cant handle more but because with higher player counts gameplay deteriorates)
- You're allowed to ask someone to join your clan and some recruiting as long as you don't annoy people with it.
- I'm Adminning the server and i'm pretty much always available on irc (contact info is spouted through serveradse) and every icm member got acces to it to kick of asshats). And i'm not inexperienced in running a ro server.
- The forgive setting is disabled because people say they are missing bullets cause of it. (and loads of people don't forgive anyway).
- It got some custom maps on a good redirect and most maps wont run for too long usually 1 or 2 rounds per map)
- I'm open for suggestions from everybody about the server, for settings mutators for trying out a few times.
- No bots for filling up the server.
There is 1 major disadvantage though nobody plays on it ^^

This is probably why. You need a FEW bots to get things going, or at least a good group of players who join specifically to seed it every day. Nobody goes into an empty server and stays there for long.
bots don't help that much either because alot of people dont join a server with bots anyway.
the thing that matters most is getting a community and we cant be arsed to create one for that you need to fill it up for a long time every day.

Zets just put spartaaaaa on if you have fast redirect. That will usually fill up a server halfway.
koitos always works well
sparta too its just that people that join those maps join it for that map only and leave when the map changes ;p

Having read this i checked the sever list to find that in fact the games pretty much dead. Well, it's gone 1 am so dead's a bit harsh to be fair but it wasn't looking that heathy.
I wonder if, as this game declines, it will be propped up by a few loyal hardcore central/eastern european players. I only say this 'cos thats happened to a couple of other favourite 'realism' shooters of mine.
UK players seem to become rare after 'fringe' games pass their peak.
Phaps they, (and to the same extent N americans) are the type to get itchy feet and get easily drawn to new games, I dunno.
Getting drawn to new games is easy, getting the money to buy a new computer to run them isn't always easy though. Would be able to play a lot of new games if the pixel shader stuff didn't matter so much.
No, it's the way we talk on this funny moon language: "Tilda-tilda-tilda! Tilda?" BTW, for some odd reason Russian servers are those where majority of people don't afraid to use the mic and communicate. International ones usually have 1-3 people max who also press "teamchat" from time to time.
Anyone who believes that the action of themselves and a few others can kill a server, when, even today, there are 10's of thousands of players still out there, really needs a reality check.
And to boast that there is one less server to play on because of an objection to one of thee server rules is the mark of a true*edit* I removed the word so as not to get an infraction */edit*

I like those German servers, German speaking dudes create much better atmosphere than some British lads. Those Russian servers take this a little too far for me though since I can't understand any Russian and every second guy is called "~~~~~". Well, at least the ping is often very low.
