We want the Gaming Source server to be a fun, community driven server based around working as a team and enjoying yourself. We feel the best way to enjoy BF2 is to play on a server where you know the people you're playing with (or against!) since it makes for a much more entertaining time. Add to that a well adminned no-idiots-allowed server and you're onto a winner!
In order to promote this sort of community spirit on our server we'd like to encourage a "regulars" type atmosphere. We want people to use our server as their first choice. What better way to do this than to offer an incentive and provide free reserved slots for all our regulars so they can get right into the fray as soon as they login?
That's right, we keep 2 slots open for server admins and server regulars so you'll almost always be able to get on. If you add Mogambo to your XFire he may even kick a non-squaddie out of the game to let you in, but only if you're nice!
So what constitutes a regular? First of all you need to make yourself known in the GS BF2 server. Announce a hello when you enter the game, we like to be spoken to! Next of all join a squad, preferably one containing regulars so we can get to know you (extra brownie points for using your microphone!). Next come and let yourself be known in the forums (you're already here if you're reading this). Register and make some posts. Start with something funny...something along the lines of "God, don't you hate that Mogambo person?"
Don't expect your reserved slot straight away..we want you to be a regular! Revisit the server when you play BF2 and join in with the rest of the group and after a few games we'll probably have got to know you and be happy to add you to our VIP list.
It couldn't be much simpler really. Play on our server regularly, let yourself be known, act maturely and fairly and I'm sure we'll love you!
See you on the battlefield soldier.
