All the Codexians out there, JOIN THE FRAY!
Today Nicolai, Flashback and myself hooked up on some unofficial russian server and had some nice duels, 2x1 (2 vs me) and the EXTREME and INTENSE FFA ever. (i won everywhere cept 2x1 where i decided to dismantle my fleet of battlecruisers so that the poor congoids get a taste of victory, for once). great fun, despite us not being too skilled.
(i haven't played starcraft for like 5 years or so, only recently decided to give it a go, thanks to Flashback).
But skill and wins don't matter -- we're not some progamers. No matter how low your skills is, it can still be helluva fun, especially stuff like FFA, or a 5vs1 gangrape.
So fear not, my fellow congoids. Get yer dusty Starcraft off the shelves, or shamelessly download it (links below), since Blizzard's got enough moneys anyway, and then post here the time and day when you're free to play.
If you dont have Starcraft, here's how to get it fast:
1. Download the compact version of Starcraft: Broodwar. It's basically a heavily-truncated installation, lacking music, singleplayer campaign, some unneeded sounds and so forth. But multiplayer works perfectly, of course.
2. Install it and in the game directory run the program "regsetup.exe"
3. Download the latest patch - 1.14, and install it.
4. After that, download the patcher utility. Extract the archive to the game directory. Run the "install.exe" and go Options -> Add Gateways. You'll the see the huge list. Just click hte "Add Gateways" button. You're done with this patcher, don't use it for loading the game.
5. Now, download the loader. Extract the contents to a subfolder in your game directory (doesnt really matter where, actually).
6. Run BWLoader, click the obvious button -- voila, you're in Starcraft.
Now, you're given a wide selection of gateways, not just the Asia/Europe/US official ones. Note that without legit CD-key properly injected in this installation you'll not be able to play on Blizzard servers, as well as some (very few) unofficial (but big) servers.
hence, please, if you want to hook up with us, dont expect us to do so on the official servers.
If you got the legit Starcraft, just skip the first steps and download the Patcher and enable those gateways.
Not sure where we'll play next time though, on which server. if anyone got any advice, you're welcome.
