How Were You First Introduced To Lotus Servers?

Recommended Posts

I first heard about TF2 from some friends I used to play Diablo II with. They used to play together constantly, so I bought the TF2 / Gary's Mod Bundle.

I had a very poor computer. I couldn't play TF2 without lagging on the lowest settings, so I mainly played Engineer. While surfing through the steam game list one day, I stumbled upon Lotus's 2Fort Chicago server.

I was a regular there for some time. My time was spent camping sewers or the upper part of our spawn room overlooking the stairs. Many would-be intel snatchers were shot down by a level three blaze of glory.

About two years ago I got a new computer. I could actually play TF2 without lagging constantly. I still enjoyed Lotus servers, but I wanted to see what else they had to offer.

I found a new home in the Chicago Arena server. I met a lot of cool people with whom I still play with on a daily basis. I still frequent the server because I enjoy the atmosphere, and I know most all of the regulars that frequent the server.

I'm interested in what brought you to the Lotus servers. How did you find out about them, and what servers do you frequent, and why?

Found lotus servers because it was at the top of the browser with the best ping and stock maps. I stayed because there wasn't any stupid game changing mods (rtd) and no power hunger admins. Also depending on which lotus sever you're on, they're are a lot of decent players to play with.

24/7 Dustbowl West Coast ;) Fun regulars, and exactly what the server said. 24/7 Dustbowl, no shitty stupid Christian "Okay kids, play nice and don't use curse words!" type deal, just straight up.

Similar to Lemon Jelly, I just constantly saw Lotus at the top of best ping, and most populated servers constantly. I played Stocks 2 and Stocks 3 regularly, nd I hit up 24/7 Dustbowl West occasionally

Best servers I've seen so far. Like Krash said, no melonhead christian nazi admins, and if a retard makes his way into the server, the rest of the people usually have the communication skills to vote him out.

Switched to Lotus when [-Q-] died, which was January 2009. I was a regular on the Custom server which had very nice maps, and http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Qcustomrefugees emerged from the shut down. Over viewing the group I see some old friends I used to play with like Zeitgeist, Whitebeard, Icarus (who made cp_coldfront). Good times, good people.

Yeah, EdgeGamers is still around. I play on their custom map servers sometimes.

I came here after FatGamer closed down. I saw Miyari playing here so I decided to check it out cause she was cool back at FG.

One of the best ping maps I found, Lotus Badwater Basin 24/7. I also found a lot of regulars on that server, so I knew who was better to heal, and who would just run right into a Heavy's minigun.

lotus was either the first or one of the first servers i picked at random. i didn't start going on lotus consistently until after a couple months of playing. mostly because at one point i preferred to just join a random server, talk jive to a bunch of randoms, play some, and then leave/repeat. lotus wasn't any different from any other server i played on. i stay on lotus because i <3 the regulars -- each and every one of them :3.

i started playing tf2 in high school, i played TFC a little and only played dustbowl for the first year i played.

i started on chicago dustbowl, playing with mojo, mel gibson, danny glover and some of the ae guys

then i continued on to stock maps where i met, PHANTOM, killerkeg, you suck and have no life, Tuxedo,the rum is gone, and all of the -Glazed- players

since then i have moved to stocks 4 and all the other regulars went to stocks 2

Wasn't really introduced, I just like playing on Lotus because of the stock settings and the lack of BS. I'm usually on 2fort East Coast~

I came to the Lotus servers because they are the only servers in existence without all the retarded mods such as Unreal Tournament sounds (domination/double kill/etc.), without any other demented mods and with normal default respawn timers. Seriously. The only servers in the world without any annoying nonsense. So here I am.

As for how...I do believe it was random luck while searching for UK servers since I talk a lot in chat and generally prefer having people who speak English to play with.

Came for the chat and latency, stayed for the proper lack of demented mods.

I tried playing there when I heard someone was banned for saying "faggot" once.

I ended up joining and the moment I started speaking (Not even like, harassing anyone, just speaking normally) I got muted for saying things like "GOOD JOB!" and "THE FLAG IS ON THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE!"

Anyway, I found lotus via the server list when I first started playing TF2.
