It was called Beginners, because when you read the most active servers in ET, most of them have the word beginners or xpsave forever. Divine settled on beginners with jaymod before they chose to change to nit mod.


I wasn't aware of the charge time and weapon restrictions though, but in this case it seems to be working just fine.

Besides no beginner server stays a beginners server forever. Everyone (most everyone) gets better with experience. We could always change the name to "Moderates" and then "Pro's" as everyone gets better.

Umm lets not and just leave it as is :P

What immortar wondered was that why is the server named Beginners if it has most difficult settings (ex. hitboxes are made smaller, heavy weapon restrict, slow recharge time etc). It really might seem nothing like a beginners server but on the other hand i think that training in conditions like that is better for beginners.

For example:
Adrenaline - It's 10 times harder tracking an enemy flying around the map.
Slow medic recharge time - Excludes a chance for experienced player to always run away in middle of combat dropping med packs at hes legs.
Smaller body hitboxes - Beginner gets used to shooting headshots.
and so on...

But as you said, a lot of servers have been called Beginners despite of the server settings. It attracts players and as long as activity is raising changes aren't necessary.
