(I let it lapse because the server was usually empty whenever I wasn&#8217;t playing, and I just didn&#8217;t have time to play.  I wish I&#8217;d have been able to get the thing into some sort of self-sustaining state with a few regular admins.)  This new influx of Mac users is going to create a need for low-intensity, newbie-friendly servers.  I hate to think of all those new players being introduced to this incredible game during a round of &#8220;SNIPER FAGGIT!!!!&#8221; mic spam. Alas.  <\/p>\n<p>How often do Mac and PC players get to play together like this? It&#8217;s not often, I&#8217;m sure.  This is bringing us still closer to my dream of being able to play some sort of co-op with my friends regardless of whether they are PC, Mac, or Xbox.  <\/p>\n<p>EDIT:<\/p>\n<p>If you want a friendly server, Valaqil suggests:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>When the D20 server went down, a group of people who played on it that visit Chocolate Hammer, Giant In The Playground, and here, all banded together to start a TF2 server. Newbies are always welcome. We love having players there, and, most nights, stay at least at half-capacity. It&#39;s entirely community-run, community-funded. We each chip in, and view the server as our little place to hang out and have fun with friends. Without further ado:<\/p>\n<p>68.232.183.52:27015<\/p>\n<p>If you want to join into the random talking and fun times, or send a little token toward the server after playing, check out the current server thread at GITP: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=152580\">http:\/\/www.giantitp.com\/forums\/showthread.php?t=152580<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Additional: When I do play, this is my go-to server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really miss having a dedicated TF2 server for Twenty Sided.
