A quiet SC server

Recently, I have an interest of playing to ol' SC again,but....my server is so quiet that u can't find any players @~@....So ,I am thinking of asking sb here to play it..HEHE...It's free,u don need a key,just the SC program and a Bnet editor(To add the server).It's programmed by a forum and is mainly played by HK/mainland China and Macau(There's some foriegners too)^^,I'm a Hk resident.If anyone is intersted in playing it.You can post up here^^.I'll put the server here .

I suppose that u all know how 2 use the Bnet editor@@.

Also, u can add my MSN to 'DISCUSS' things 2^^~,but i'm a student n sometimes i won't reply (Proprobly I'm away).
My english is not as fluent as you guys that's for sure....so there might b some inconvience><

My MSN:scoobydoogarfieldhotmail.com. Please notify that u're a SC player.THX!
The server:KYO(Illidan)
Address:bnet2.kyohk.net

PS:No worry,it supports Englush version SC
The server also supports WAR3 and Diablo 2 LOD.
If anyone don know how to work the bnet editor.Post here ^^

 

First of, most people here have a key. Further, you just put your own e-mail on a forum? Your adress will get spidered now and receive a whole lot more spam. I would edit it out, or at least remove the @ symbol.

 

Thx for the tip.althought that address is just for my MSN,I don check it(there's nothing in there anyway)I've changed it

 

Why on Earth would anyone play on a server like that when you could play on ICCUP or Battle.net?

 

Whats's that ICCUP thing I keep hearing about? I play only on b.net now.

 

I thought battle.net is the only server which provides WAR3/SC and Diablo multiplayer gameplay...
Secondly, the server i provided is a battle.net server......just a different address...plus ,u can dl the SC program for free at that forum(it's chinese but the program is still english)

 

This is ICCUP:
http://www.iccup.com/

Its a "ladder" for Warcraft 3 Sc1 and more. It will probably have Starcraft 2 too. Many strong players play on Iccup instead of Battle.net.

 

@garfieldodie:

No, it's not a Battle.net server. If it doesn't have dozens of thousands of people on it then it's not a Battle.net server. There are only four Battle.net servers: USEast, USWest, Europe, and Asia. None of these are even remotely as "quiet" as you say they are. You are playing on what is called a private server and it is hosted by people other than Blizzard. People usually only use these servers when they're cheap bastards and don't want to pay Blizzard (You mostly find these in Communist countries where they believe everything should be free.) If it was a Battle.net server you wouldn't need to download any additional programs nor would you be able to play it without a valid CD key. This should've been obvious.

Also, just so you know, what you are doing is illegal. If you get caught, good luck. But, it sounds like you're not from one of the major anti-piracy countries so that's very unlikely. Digital providers get no justice in countries like that.

@Aurora: ICCUP is a private server that the best players play on. You might know these people as "Pro" players. That's a common misnomer since most of them aren't paid. Anyways, if you've see any "pro" replays, usually that's an ICCUP game or from someone who plays on ICCUP regularly. It is also competitively ranked as well so that's why you see certain rankings (C+, B-, A ... or the dread insult of D-). Reaching C+ is quite a challenge, and B and higher is quite admirable. If you can get that high then you should probably think of moving to Korea to start a career

 

No pro replays are from Hamachi/Lan (or korea ) Still too much delay

Another "private" server is Garena: http://www.garena.com/

I think its against the license agreement, but servers like Iccup and Garena has kept sc/dota in life, and so giving extra money to Blizzard.

 

No, most pro reps are from ICCUP. Statistically speaking.

Proof:
GosuGamers.net
TeamLiquid.net

Also, I forgot to mention that the ICCUP league is the one that hosts and makes the ICCUP maps. These maps include Luna and Python which are played very regularly among serious 1v1ers.

 

That depends on what you mean with pro-games!? What do you mean?

 

I didn't say pro games. I said pro replays. So, by that I mean replays taken with pro gamers playing each other.

Do a search on GosuGamers.net for the various servers. ICCUP is by far the most popular. Battle.net is also quite popular but ICCUP is still the most popular of them all... even in Korea.

This is even further cemented by the fact that almost all "pro" players have ICCUP rankings. You don't get those rankings very high without playing a lot of games so they must've spent a lot of time on that server.

 

Oh sorry. my bad Need glasses!
But I dont agree with you that some pro-gamers dont get paid. A progamer is a gamer who lives a proffesional career.

 

*facepalm*

Let me restate: People on the internetz often use the term "pro gamer" to describe someone with skills in a particular game. That's a misnomer because most of them are not professionals. They are people just like me and you but they have more skill. For example, I've had many people call my friends or myself "pros" because we played well in a game. Obviously, I do not get paid for playing StarCraft, therefore, I am not technically a pro gamer even though I am called one because of my skill. That's what a misnomer is. The meaning has been changed due to frequent use by people who do not adhere to the dictionary definition and use it however they want.

The term "pro gamer" is like "troll" or "retard". It's used as a general description even though it doesn't truly apply to what it is describing. How many times have you heard or read someone calling someone else a "troll" or a "retard" even though they are not "trolling" (They probably just disagree) and are not actually mentally challenged.

 

facepalm

Not very often, at least not here.
Why just accept a wrong term?

The term pro is the word used when describing very good players where I play, not the describtion progamer. That a bunch of 8 year old or 20 year old who act like 8 year old have misused the word, doesnt mean that it means something different.

But you are probably no better, just accpeting this change in "our" language and doing nothing against it. It actually reminds me of a discussen in the Danish-language about the word bjørnetjeneste (bearfavour), which back in the days was a good meant favour that though works out bad. But because of movies like Bear Brothers and other the term has now changed, because parents never educated their children very nicely (its now just a good favour).

We might accept this, and see our language falter like it is doing, or do something against it, by using terms like progamers when we talk about proffesionals gamers, and use terms such as skilled players in other cases.

Your choice, your future.

Hey Man,

Check out Clan Empire @ USEast. (Clan Emp)
ClanEmpire.Net

We would be more than happy to get a game with you if someone is available!

 

HEY PEOPLE!
When we r going to organize a sc tour?

 

You misunderstood. Sorry for the confusion. All I said was "You might know these people as pro-gamers." I didn't give in or whatever else you read it as. I did not condone that word usage nor the word change anywhere in my posts. I didn't even use the word incorrectly. In fact, I took time out to actually counter the misnomer. The only reason I even used the word was because it was important to what I was trying to say. ICCUP StarCraft Progamers are known through out the internet and it was important for me to let Aurora know that a lot of these so called "pro-gamers" that he's been hearing about are actually unpaid ICCUP players. If I hadn't made that distinction I don't think Aurora would have learned that any other way.

PS: "Progamers" is misused here almost daily. Check any topics concerning micro or the the "progaming" scene. You'll see exactly what I've seen.

 

Well, I think you both have a point, to be perfectly honest. Tychus, you use it as an official term, which is fully correct, and thanks for explaining. The posts made by Furrer basically point out how everyone uses a word. To use a weird comparison: Tychus has explained the true, dictionary style of the word. Furrer uses the commonly used wiki version. Right?

So what have we learned -wink-:
- pro players: those that get paid for playing a game
- pro level players: those with similar skills as pro players, but without paiment
- pro skills: just a way to point out that a person is doing very well

Close enough?

 

I would change that to:

1) Pro-players are those who get paid for playing

2) People of the internets (Temple Of The Sleep Of Reason) misuse this word.

3) I used the word (but made a very clear distinction) so that you would know that what you've been hearing on the internet about pro-gamers probably has more to do with ICCUP.
