Hi everybody,
i played tribes 2 a long time ago and REALLY enjoyed it, and would like to give it a try again, but i wonder if there are still people out there playing it?
ZORN is the only server with people on it, well at least sometimes. Unfortunately, at the moment there isn't much going on aside from some lak / arena / TR2 games each day.
If you want to keep in touch with the T2 eu "community" idle on #t2.eu on Quakenet
I swear if all those euro pubbers on Goon Haven would join the ZORN server we could have some nice games each day, but oh well...
Judging by the server list, there's about 100 players on at the moment. Although I think the actual player-base for this game is 150 players. That's if I'm reading the server list correctly.

i just rejoined the other day and felt like i was 56k again. do i want to devote the time again?
yes if i could make the same m8s over
Ssential, most of the current euro ppl are ex clan players, (and the goon population has MANYYY noobs in it), so just think a moment about a BASE pub with clanppl.... SNIPE AND CHAIN
probably thats why only lak and such mods are played the only other thing would be cluster mixies, but afaik no one responds in irc/not all use it anymore...
but hm, now that i think of it, is it rly more funny to play with high ping and that US rape/full def boons...
Yep. Mainly on the Goon Haven server though. It's still fun as hell, trust me
yes its' fun for a while, but its not T2. it's just another "deathmatch" server. could be as well ut or quake server would not make a big difference. has not much to do with playing tribes. ???
I remember being @ CompUSA the morning T2 came out, struggling with the "giving up" of 3dfx --> Nvidia (back then it was troublesome, and they'd yet to announce their soon to be end-of-line/company)
anywho, most addictive thing i'd ever purchased at that point, played in TTC for a year or so, and when they added the Classic / TR2 patches (like most tribes) they split, and i played on & off (mainly lakrabbit, houstan/miami vehicles) until i got ahold of WOW (cancellation was the best thing i've done still to this day of my account ... 4+ years and i was exhausted from raiding all the time)
tribes 2 never made me feel exhausted, used to be loads of fun, etc (of course my skills were much better back then)
just re-installed it about a week ago (actually just found out about the tribesnext project) and the only server many play on is the one I frequent as well (goon's) but .... these people obviously didn't stop playing for the years that I have (aka ... i get my butt kicked quite alot, can't seem to aim or have the "rhythm" i used to when even gearing up in a heavy to assault the other base)
it's probably just lack of playing a game that takes "skill" as opposed to one you farm for "skill" after all these years and i'm sure (as when i began) i'll get better after i get my butt kicked for a few weeks (although not much, but somewhat better --i've aged quite a bit since that formentioned day @CompUSA)
that's assuming that the maps don't switch as soon as i deploy a remote inventory station or i don't get teamkilled (but it's all still just as much fun as i remember)
much appreciation to those who "revived" the game and to those that admin the servers that still exist ...
