We've already been through that idea. Want to see how it ends? Let's say there's a rule that your server name has to reflect your community name. Well, then that makes communities like "All-gaming" and "Aaron's Hut" get to be at the top of the list. Is that fair? No.
The fair solution ranks the servers based on something out of their control.
I'm the bawss.

Keep in mind: These people are paying $100+ a month to provide FREE servers to you, so kindly shut the fuck up and don't play there.

Well i dont play in those servers for one.
And $100+ for a server?
I didnt mind when a few servers did this but when i see or should i say have seen people auction off a00000 names that made me sick. who gives a damm if your on the top of the list most likey your server either sucks or you are one desperate mother fucker (excuse my lang.)

LOL rank them on the number of players that are currently in. That's more or less out of your control. Ow no, wait: then people will stay in there and idle until it fills up which is pretty bad too. Forget that...

And the player counts are wrong for servers that use GameSpy.
And by the way, my server is full pretty much all day long with 40 players. I use an a00 nick. There are hundreds of people who will disagree with you thinking that my server sucks. a000 may get them in but a quality server with a good staff KEEPS them coming back. Plus I have a very large gamespy following, often over half of my players are from GSA. They are unaffected by the 'a000' nick that I have in WOL.
I'm the bawss.

I agree: it helps tons to have a good, faithful amount of players that first look at your server before looking at another. When I go in ours, usually 5-6 players quickly join in (only WOL: we do not run WOLspy): mostly players I know and that play there often. Why? I think it has somerthing to do with the fact that we have no modification to the original Renegade, except for !donate and with the fact that we have very strict modding (yes: many players like to play somewhere without swearing/insulting and where they understand everything that is said). It helps ofcourse when the server is a clan-server with many players and if it's hosted with a title "www.n00bstories.com" which is very well known in the community. The only real condition for this to work is to have a quality server which has stable pings and sfps/kbps.

have you even tried gamespy?

I've used GameSpy since the Renegade demo. I've never liked it. I don't particularly like Renegade's WOL interface (IMO, Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 did a much better WOL interface). I definitely like it better than GameSpy, however.

I have an idea, but it would require alot of the server owners working togeather on this to make it be fair...
Each community is allowed to put there most ~popular~ server at the top with like a nick name like "Ajellyserv" or "An00bstories" or "Axphaze" and then put the rest of the servers with a normal server nickname or like Bservname.
But like I said it would require alot of the server owners working togeather to do this.

But with Gamespy, you've got people with names like ::--++tHe_GrEaTeSt[GSA][LECS]{Hksl}++--::
|
but with WOL, you have names like "rm5248". A name that is very tough to remember because it's not a word in that string, but a string of letters and numbers. Say you see one of my clanmates by the name of [GDE]Reveregod. It would not be very hard to remember that name and add him to your playerspy.

At least the names on WOL don't change, or very rarely. On my GSA playerspy list, there's a number of people that have changed their name so much that I have no clue whom they are, or used to be.

I thought of this, too. Something like having the community vote on servers, then we would all encourage our communities to vote for us and whatnot. But I don't think there's any fair way to do something like that.

Considering that most players have no idea of the community, that would hardly be fair too, as you say indd. Maybe the most fair way is still how it's done: the first/fastest one gets the top.
