OpenTTD Cooperative Gameplay
What?
There is not much to say about this site. Look around and you'll see what it is about. We're a group of players (some what expanding) that enjoy playing OpenTTD cooperatively rather than competively. Playing OTTD in a cooperative way means bringing new challenges to the game. Cooperation is, in fact, more challenging for good players because you have to coordinate and communicate with your teammates to create an efficient transportation system. This means we all share the same company, the same resources, and build a really big network. The important thing is we have fun doing this, playing with the game like designing crazy hubs (good old Bermuda Hub!) and efficient stations. Playing in a cooperative way also means to learn from one another. Good players share their experiences with Newbies but on the other side even the most skilled OTTD-players may learn some tricks from their teammates.
Who?
We are a group of players who found together in the main channel for OTTD - #openttd on the Freenode IRC network. The usual suspects (note: not all "usual suspects are full members") at
- openttdcoop are: Brianetta (who kindly hosts our main server), guru3, ShaggZ, Mucht, StarLite, dp, e1ko, Osai, sulai, thgergo, RichK, CuBiC, xahodo, Flow-, ottd-king and valhallasw, who hosts this wiki.
Where?
Well, as the name suggests, we have an IRC channel on the FreeNode IRC network. It's #openttdcoop. We have several temporary servers at this moment, so please come by on #openttdcoop for more information. Our Servers are fully advertised so you can find them by searching in your OTTD-Client. Our main server is "#openttdcoop", kindly hosted by Brianetta.
How?
We communicate extensively in both IRC and in game chat to coordinate our efforts as well as possible. This high ammount of communication, in addition to predefined building specifications... Well, we just all get along and work together and get stuff built. Just have a look at this wiki, as it delivers information about our building style, about efficient construction layouts etc.
May I join you?
The first answer is: definitely yes! Since our community atracts more and more players we reworked our whole concept for this community. Please read our membership information page for more details.
If you want to get in touch with our community, be sure to join us in our IRC channel. If you are not familiar with IRC you can find some information in our Guides. | ||
