    I know there are lots of veterans and also newcommers here, so I thought I'd share a bit of info about my experience on the servers when i started.
    I started playing on the servers around June 2010, at that time there was no Points Reloaded mod, just Vicious Infected, Berserker mode and Vicious Infected. I really enjoyed playing on those servers. Then i kept a small break and found out about the Points Reloaded mod in June 2011, funny coinsidence eh? :D
    So I guess I can call myself a veteran. I have really enjoyed playing on the servers, seen a lot of changes and also lots of old players leaving :(
    I hope we can keep this community alive for many more years :) Really the best servers I've ever played on

    I found MG in August 2010, about a month after I made my Steam account. I actually found the l4d1 hardcore servers by joining a random server, I found VI on l4d2 after that and fell in love with it :)
    Despite how much I play on PR these days, VI will always have a special place in my heart. I hated PR at first because all the good players on VI abandoned it for the new mod, then there just wasn't anybody to play with for a long period of time.
    On another note, I remember things like Superbunny's skin server, Mixed Modes and so much more.. Fun times!

    So yeah, I guess I'd call myself a veteran as well.

    Found MG server by accident around 2 years back. Joined the points reloaded and saw players perform magical stuff like picking up incapped players instantly. This really got my attention and i became a huge fan. As a beginner I saw many players helping others while some not. Also helped me to improve my playing attitude towards other players. I had lot of fun when Erik was admin in his previous incarnation.

    Still having more fun especially with the new PR. Keep up the good work :)

    i only found out about it about a month+ or 2 ago, at first i started playing on and off as i was playing in another server and normal game modes, but slowly i got addicted to this server and met quite a number of very nice players :)
     
  7. Well i've been playing l4d1 versus since 2009 on various servers.
    i started on MG in the early part of 2010, playing only l4d1 versus, and the berserker and other l4d2 mods.
    Suscribed on the forum as well.
    Later that year in october MG dropped non-steam support.
    For a couple of months i played non-steam on other versus servers, allthough i purchased l4d2 on sale.
    Also because i had some weird crashes with the steam app in that period.
    In 2011 when Points Reloaded started on MG, non-steam was allowed again.
    So it wasnt untill mg dropped the non-steam support permanently in dec 2011 that i actually started to use my steam account.

    I found MG in November 2010 I think, but have seriously forgotten. I had finally noticed the "Group Servers" option on L4D2's main menu, so I clicked it, found a few random servers, then quickly got stuck to mgftw.com servers... they clearly were the best. PR 16 player co-op I fucken loved.

    I remember Alex helping me out in matches, and I generally always joined servers with him. He was already level 200 or 210 (whichever was the max back then) when I began mg. I kept playing, never expected to ever play it enough to reach 210 myself, but roughly 1 year later I was level 210 too!

    Currently I am inactive, because I am just not playing any game much right now. Most recent game I completed is GTAV on 360.

    Id wager not many people here remember or were around to see the OLD old forum, not the one before this but before that, way before PR.....all it had was a flashing gif header and 99% of the active members were admins lol...oh how mg has grown and progressed. I do miss the hlx stats achievements though lol and the bezerker days when i actually cared about my hlxstats rank n played nearly every day just to get in the top 10 lmao

    lol yeah that was a pretty basic forum. phpBB with just one logo on top and only 4 or 5 forum sections :)

    We came from far, I started with one server running from home and omg this hobby really got out of control fast ;)

    I found MG when marvel kidnapped me and put me in this cage i've been living for 3 years.srsly tho, he was really supportive when i first stsrted my first plugin (berserker) and i joined one of the servers to check for bugs. I rapidly loved the community back then and applied as a coder. And here i am still enjoying the decision i made :')

    I found this place one or two years ago, perhaps. Don´t really remember. When was it??
    I used to play on all kinds of servers but I really liked this one, although I understood absolutely nothing in the beginning. If it had not been for Erik and some other kind and patient people I would not have stayed. I feel really nostalgic when I think of the first times somebody spawned a vending machine, or when we were all transported somewhere to fight some beastly tank that kept killing me, or when I managed to kill one of those high level players in versus, or somebody asked me to join a guild.
    I still feel like a classic noob sometimes. And like an old frustrated pro when players join for the first time. But I try to help the best I can.
    It still worries me though, that the same people play here everyday. I keep wonder if they don´t have a real life, and then I start to doubt my own life. But in the end I feel like I am in good company. But still, have you no family, friends, work or school?

    I found this server at the beginning of 2011.. Before then, I played 4x4 VS with the same group of people every night. Then one day I accidentally stumbled into one of the empty VS servers. I was pretty surprised to see so many ellis bots and I thought it was pretty cool. So I typed the server name on google and found a full VS server and ever since then, I've never wanted to play regular VS again. I tried to get some of the guys I played with in regular VS to join but they all said it was lame and how it doesn't require skill.. Well three years later and I've realized they were right. JK lol..

    Found MGFTW for l4d1 at gametracker.com
    MG mod was no.1 server back then for both versus and coop..
    No other l4d1 server came close to it back then.

    MG was still no.1 server for both coop and versus when l4d2 cameout.. never played l4d1 since then..
