I was curious has there ever been an escapist only game of TF2? And if not would anyone be interested in that sort of thing? Just a random thought that popped into my head.

There's the Escapist TF2 server, which actually is the Escapist's largest community-made group.

Usually they have two servers running for all to join, but on special events (usually whenever-they-FEEL-like-it events) they have another server running that's password protected to ensure only Escapists can enter.

Also, there's a Steam group (search "Escapist TF2").

I'm sure someone has already posted the links and server names, however.

FYI: PC only.

EDIT: TF2 Group

That's the Escapist hosted one, I'd post the Steam one if it would respond right now. Just join the group, the server names are there.

Here's [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EscapistTF2] the Steam group. The servers are listed there.

Not true, much to the annoyance of some of the guys... Both servers are 100% public, no passwords at all. When we do "proper" events, it's usually announced about 3 weeks before and we go from there, for the random games it does go at short notice, but that group is usually where it all flares from.

As pointed out, we're the largest user-made group (beaten only to the "largest group" honours by Spinwhiz's Fallen Earth and the ZP group, made by one of the Escapist video tech guys), we've got a youtube account and everything :D we'd love to have you up on the servers, we've got a US and a UK based server, UK probably gets more traffic due to most of the group being European.

Having said that:


Taken the evening after we got on User Groups, we had 48/48 slots filled, both servers packed to bursting. Truly a brilliant moment.

As well as joining the TF2 group [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/The-Escapist-Team-Fortress-2-Group-PC#comment_form], I'd join http://steamcommunity.com/groups/EscapistTF2

As this is where all the announcements will be. Look for Myself, Danny Ocean or Wordsmith and we'll conjure up some people whenever you feel like it. There's usually a match or two around 9pm GMT most nights.

Did I mention there may be the chance of Escapist players vs Escapist Staff at some point?
