Welcome nonary I see you found our discord server as well

We're pretty active, there's probably a couple hundred players of all skill levels in circulation (but not all on at the same time), you can see who's online right now here: http://server.war2.ru/status/ It's usually most active on weekends. We actually have a water map tournament featuring 2 user created water maps coming up tomorrow! are you planning to play in it?

Feel free to /w mousetopher anytime I'm online and I'll come and play a few with you if I can. The people @ discord are usually very friendly too, you can look for BabyShark, Lethal~Viruz, strata, TgvBen, Slavik, & many others

Welcome back it is always great to see a returning player. Stick around, host games and like mouse said, join the water map tournament Sunday!

The few games I tried to join people would automatically suspend me or ban me from their games, because I have 0 games, its pissin me off.

  join up with jessu and non salty. when i host everyone plays and i played with alot of other host also.

i dont join the pro games though, yes they will kick more than likely.

they are usually rematching etc think nothing of it...

also 0 games makes some think of smurfs(people hiding on other names)

id be down to host some sea..and since the trny is today..guess we can use the new maps and test them out.

If you make better names like SuperDeath or PowerKill or CrazyBeast or something that sounds dangerous and deadly and smart instead of jason2932 or tomas234, that might help also.

this is bad advice. jason2932 and tomas234 are both great names. don't listen to the naysayers, do whatever is in your heart nonary!

No nonary its a well known fact people with numbers in their name get auto banned

it's a mildly active community... very small.. so everyone knows who everyone else is. it's really hard for new players to gain acceptance.

the only new players who stick around are the ones who refuse to take "no" (and continiously get banned) for an answer .. and keep finding a way to play/advance until they finally are accepted.

[DigitalDiarrhea]

well im glad to be here!

One thing I will tell all new players to do after joining the server. Is to complete the entire single player campaigns. Once you do that you will be better than a lot of the super new players we have.

Thats decent advice, it'll improve speed a bit, it'll teach some of the basics, so at least the non expansions is good.

The few games I tried to join people would automatically suspend me or ban me from their games, because I have 0 games, its pissin me off.

If they ask you "s9?" the answer is 30k, if they ask you "11?" the answer is 65k. Its like a protocol to see if your a noob or not. And if they don't want noobs in there game you'll be kicked. Knowing the answer to those questions gives you a better chance of not being booted.

Also, try ask to watch some games when you join, set your race to Human (Since 99% of people player Orc) and Ally up with everyone on the allies menu, and hide your peon but don't give them vision, and turn on allied victory.

If it's a Top vs Bottom game and your watching, then vision everyone for a moment so they know where you started, then unvision them then hide your peasant in a corner of the map. If you run your peasant to try hide it while vision is on, people will probably get mad at you, because they'll be able to see things like chop spots and stuff.


If you don't know some of your basics like walling in your base and setting chokepoints, if I see you online i'll show you. Or maybe someone like mouse will.

Welcome :-)

Yes it is a bit hard in the beginning!
I was a pretty stubborn person the first few months.

Some advises for sticking around: Embrace defeat! And play whatever!
Chop, PBall, Any customs, Hackers, Trolls, etc...

Avoid games like GoW GOOD and GoW games with passwords that you can figure out.
If there is no other game, ask to watch on those games.

GoW players are the most picky on how you play :-D. If you put your hall a bit wrong. If you get towered etc. you will be banned after, until they forget your nickname.

Most important of all Have Fun!

When you find me online, I'll be happy to play a game with you. And saw you some basics. I'm no pro but at least can help you do the big jump where you will start being able to play with most players and feel you contributed in the game :-)

Cheers
