fun thread, I actually have a notebook (the paper kind) with a coupke of pages of handwritten server names/ip addresses. I actually in the beginning didnt know you could type the DNS so some are just the ip addresses
My very very 1st server I played on online was a server called BigQEd's it only ran on the START map and had modified weapons and was total newbie FFA.
The first ctf server i stepped "foot" on was something called GLOBAL (195.147.246.71) dont remember the whole hostname. Heck actually I think that was a European server?
AnyComp 208.247.254.9 (clan 420)

and some other random ipaddress i dont know what they are
Along the same lines heres a small list of players from 10 years ago.. in no particular order..
I remember playing on a rutgers.edu server back in the day. It was pretty happening from what i remember. ISDN days with lpbs pinging 100+. No one really pinged as low as some do nowadays. I was dialup back then. Anyone remember the full addy?
I always played CTF from the start. My original nickname was 'Odd Man Out' and I played on quake.dhs.org. It ran the original 3wave and got me hooked.
Later I found a server called quake.dsuper.net and played there for a few years under the names of -dk-orion and bo86-arcane. Soon a guy who wanted to be me came on and changed his name to Arcane as well and we duel'd for the nick. He lost, but soon after I started to smoke weed & think less of Quake. I surrendered the name and later this guy became -hdz-arcane. At one point in time I tried out for HDZ under a fake nick and was let into the clan until my arch-nemesis at the time 'NUKE' found out who I was and kicked me out
During my Quake prime time I met many peeps including 'oarie' who later created his own server and I played on there for awhile. I also spent time on quake.dread.net, mtown.com, quake.hating.com, anycomp.com and rutgers. I loved the ID map CTF and would find any servers with people playing. The problem was I never used the same nick and wasn't a big chatter and most people don't know me. However, I've been around since day one and truly miss the old days.
I've had hot chicks break up with me in the past due to the addiction I had with Quake back then. It's sad in a way, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Later on I would play on Jurassic.net, hdz and stanford.
I rarely play now at all and spend the majority of my free time with my daughter, playing guitar and creating graphics for websites.
ca.mtown.com was one of my addictions, I see some of you posting it in here. I remember b (baron), boner and I would stay up until all hours of the night playing there, along with r00k, st00p, arcane, youthic, rampage, etc (all the good 3wavers). Somehow I always had an advantage there it seemed, my skill level was as high as it had ever been with a grapple hook, and there would be times when we'd have a server almost full yet they would watch boner and I 1-1, those nights were amazing. I miss mtown.
getogamer i remember you as -dk-orion. and when you say you've had gf's break up with you over quake, i believe it, I used to wake up in the morning, hide in the closet at the house and wait for everybody to go to work, then play quake alllll day (I was gonna say then come out of the closet but I know some of you would jump on that joking oppurtunity), and I've also broke up with a couple girls because of it, gotten grades that I shouldn't have, and smoked entirely too much marijuana while doing it.
you guys remember the days when we'd play for like 20-30 hours straight? I know I do. computer desk full of popcans, candy wrappers, ashtray's, only getting up to piss or grab another pop. haha, man, quake did a number on me
Yeah i remember staying up all night countless times. The reason for this was because the community was soo big. There were hundreds of servers and people on at ALL times. When people had to go to work, then the people that just got off work would get on. Then when they had to go to sleep, the people that just got off work would get on. It was a big cycle and you could always find people in mIRC or quake. Always a clan match going on or a hot pub server where the action was crazy.
I miss those days but they dont miss me. Too much time wasted
Folks, I am afraid the server I am thinking of cannot be named or remembered, but very well could be on this list somewhere. For it was simply an IP address jotted down on a small scrap of paper in front of my Packard Bell computer. It was my first online FPS experience and it was a great server. So wherever you are unknown Ip address Quake server, I salute you.
hey getogamer, I totally remember you!! BO-86 Arcane, man you were a god to me. Dsuper was one of my favorite servers of all time, I believe my name was spida or KQ-Nihon. BO-86 and Storm are, to me, the two best clans ever. I remember you had this amazing thing where somehow you could make "A-R-C-A-N-E" appear on my screen, as if someone had said it, but it appeared without your name and a colon in front of it, so it was kind of as if god said it. Then you would play under some alias, and I would try to guess who you were since we didn't have iplog back then. Good to see you man, I've found your brother online once or twice
