Vanilla server. PLEASE READ.

[toastado]

Hello, Toastado here. I was sniping on Black Mesa last night, when it was vanilla (everyone has original weapons, no hats, no misc, no actions); and I was thinking "this is just like the good old days: simple, relying more on teamwork instead of fancy weapons, no loadout nonsense, and fun:thumbup:. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Sydney Sleeper (the piss-gun) and I love the special delivery set for scout. But I was thinking, wouldn't it be great if we had an all-vanilla server? For those of us who want simple, easy, yet challenging, team-based gameplay. Or would an all-vanilla server even be possible? If not, maybe just some all-vanilla events; where you play just like you would now, but with the classic weapons and no hats. Thanks for helping us get back to the good old days.

Thanks for reading,
=(e)=? Toastado

that idea is good for the Drop box

 

[FreakingHell]

Drop box it. I'd play on it f'sho.

 

[sprusr]

I really like the idea... A few of us were talking about this on Vent yesterday. I think it would be well accepted by the community (apart from those Mann Co lovers)...

 

[BlackBird.]

Sounds good to me

 

[Matty]

Sounds like a really good idea, I'd play

 

[? Frisky Dingo ?]

Up front it sounds nice and some would probably join, but doubt the server would ever get filled.

After last night I fully agree there should be a vanilla server, haven't had that much fun in awhile.

 

[eightDash]

I would certainly enjoy this.

but i need my pink hats

 

[Nik :D]

+100 for this idea.

Just think of Valve Maps, but with the good old weapons. O.O

 

[Mr.SaJoRa]

i agree with frisky. most ppl say good idea and theyd play but give it a week max. and it will just stay empty.

I guess you changed your mind about BC2 last night then

 

[Cyclone]

I WILL play on this server 24/7! But maybe there should be 2 BM's, one regular, one Vanilla. I can smell the fun.

Lol, I might switch back to TF2 Div. Guess a big part of me still loves it .

Events - Yes.
Public Server - Nope. I don't really like TF2 super simple like that, I prefer having it how it is but I see your point!

I love the TF2 economy, weapons, paints, misc items, and especially HATS!

This would be impossible to actually have an official "vanilla" server, right? It seems like every time I hop on over to the steam forums to look for a trade I see a thread about giving servers a while/blacklist of weapons, and valve's never implemented it.

At best it seems we could have an event where we mutually agreed to use vanilla weapons, or the server "just happened" to lose connection to steam?

Events - Yes.

Agree. I like some of the vanilla weapons, but after a while it would just get old. Plus, what do I do without my strange weapons? Preposterous...

Great idea Toast
