    That goes without saying, which is one reason, I suppose, why there isn't as prolific an online gaming infrastructure in Ireland today compared, say, to the US or even Britain.
    It's thanks to Rev and the early pioneers that there are even any Irish game servers at all.

    In fairness the cs server is never full, rarely even has people on it.

    There could be 10-20 like yourself saying the same thing, GET UP OFF UR HOLE and do something.

    Jump onto IRC, throw some emails around, post here on boards. Its your kind of MONG attitude that Rev is talking about.

    Again, you are an IDIOT

    GET UP OFF UR HOLE AND DO SOMETHING

    find out whois admin, get in contact, if you want new maps, link him to new maps, ask him nicely to install it, have a look for server configs for him etc.

    The hardwork is already done, the servers are up, they are available, fckin make use of them by getting people together.

    Ye calm down bazH - I try Irish servers hang around in them for 10-20 mins then leave when I get bored - it's just at the mo' Ireland doesn't have such good Internet/Broadband penetration. Hopefully though it will get better - I am the only one in my circle of friends who has BB, so e-mailing them wont work;). There are Irish players there just not enough....give it time and we'll soon be complaining about overcrowding :D.

    i am playing online games in ireland.

    cs, dod, ut, bf1942[dc of course], mohaa, pandora tomorrow. most recently been wasting my time with the toca racing driver 2 demo.

    we're all over the place. as people have said, get involved in the community.

    if ur talking about (snigger) console online gaming, get a life, stick to pc gaming if u can afford it.

    I started playing online games with Quake 2 and Total Annihilation. These days I play about 8 or 10 different Half Life mods, Halo, Battlefield 1942 and Code of Duty.

    I've been meaning to get into QuakeWorld and Quake3 because they're so bloody popular at LANs. Can't find a copy of Q3 in any of the shops though..

    Now that there are so many UK servers and most players are on broadband or at least ISDN I don't see much point in Irish servers. It's not that I don't think there should be communities of Irish players but I don't think the physical location of the hardware really matters.

    Ah but it does. There's an atmosphere of Irishness. Think of it as a pub. Would you prefer to be in an Irish pub or an American Bar. And becides your ping is slightly lower.
