Hello. None of you probably know me, because the server shut down over half a decade after I started playing TF2 for the first time. I don't know how exactly, but I just found this subreddit randomly after browing some tftv forum threads (I think).

And I just have to say, going through all of these posts and seeing such a tight-knit and close community makes me feel something I don't know how to describe. That's not really an experience I think I'll ever properly get, even when I've almost put 4k hours into the game at this current point.

Looking at how the server, albeit small, had effects outside of the subreddit and server itself, and the mixture of IRL things and in-game stuff makes me wish I could have been there a decade ago to experience those things. It also makes me sad watching as the other RUGC servers other than midwest quickly start fading away, with this server seemingly the last one remaining before RUGC died as a whole. It just makes things just feel ever-so bittersweet. Seeing all of those small and forgotten youtube accounts with silly gameplay from the server gives me a nice feeling.

I hope everybody in this server that still remains has a good life, seems like all have moved on to real life. I'd remember talking with a couple players on Quake 1 for hours on end a year ago. Perhaps it was best kept that the server lasted for such a small amount of time at an early era of the game.

Hey all,

I just thought I'd pop in to say hello and to say that I miss the RUGC_Midwest days. I'm certainly in a better place than I was 10 years ago, and I hope you are all as well.

I don't use reddit too much anymore, but y'all can find me on Discord at mr_mustash#7777 if you want to say hi back. :)

tf2 is better than valorant and overwatch

Has anyone else gotten into the Closed Beta?

server revival during these stay at home times?

I have no idea HOW to go about setting up a quality server so assistance may be required.
