ThePetitDwarf Posted August 28, 2016 Hi guys. I've always wanted to play Doom (specially Stronghold) with someone, but none of my friends like it, so my only option is to find someone online to play. I use Zandronum but I've never joined a server because anyone has invited me. I'm not sure joining a server without invitaion is considered rude in the Doom community -that's not the case in other FPS games like TF2, but each game has a different community. Excuse me if this sound "noob-ish" but I've played Doom offline my entire life. 0 Share this post Link to post
Decay Posted August 28, 2016 If a server does not have a password preventing you from joining, it's public and therefore everyone is welcome. Unless the server host is a prick in which case the only thing to do is a) host a server yourself using a service like TSPG or find another server! 0 Share this post Link to post

Marcaek Posted August 28, 2016 Just to elaborate further, if you join a public server and are kicked because people there don't want you around but you haven't violated any rules let us know in the #tspg-painkiller irc channel on irc.zandronum.com:6667 as such behavior is considered a violation of policy. 0 Share this post Link to post

WoW, there's an entire organisation and order in this community. That's great. Ok, I'll inform you if something happens 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted August 29, 2016 If you hang around for a while you'll get to know enough people to get a game going any time you like - the best way to do that is playing in public servers. Not only is it not impolite to join in, server hosts love to see more users! 0 Share this post Link to post

But it's ok, maybe someday I'll find some people to play it 0 Share this post Link to post
