FrenchTart · 4 Jun 2009 at 15:50

Yeah...I still miss it :*(

antijoke · 4 Jun 2009 at 15:51

Yeah, I used there servers for HLDM and TF back in the day.

Have a look at freddys house

Streeteh · 4 Jun 2009 at 15:55

Was that the place that let you rent TFC servers for free for like an hour at a time? If so, they were awesome, relied on them completely for clan practice sessions in the old days.

Witor · 4 Jun 2009 at 15:55

Yup.

Spent far too much time playing Q2 on those servers....[BS]Witor.

Good times good times, along with the UKCCL, and SavageUK...

blimey - that is a blast from the past

used to play Quakeworld on Barrysworld servers, when they closed that was pretty much the end of the UK Quakeworld scene as far as I know.

My msn passport is still @barrysworld.com

I'll raise you.. who remembers wireplay?!

And I mean the old DOS client, not the windows one that came out about 1 year or so later.

What was the name of it before Barrysworld, was trying to remember the other day.

I was sure it was called something else, maybe beginning with C?

RossG · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:03

On the subject, whatever happened to the MGON network? Just seemed to disappear without a trace.

I remember GameSpy as a client before it became some huge gaming network too.

'Welcome to GameSpy'

GameSpy and BarrysWorld were my introduction to online gaming.

Tunney · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:06

I mainly played on Wireplay thanks to a quirk in NTL's billing.

Our QW TF clan did occassionally slip onto Barrysworld for the odd clan much but the Barrysworld-centric clans were way too good for us. The Spice Girls spanked us about 12-0.

Barrysworld had good AQ2 servers as well.

FrenchTart · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:07

I think I used to use mplayer too? I'm not sure of the name anymore..

Wireplay also rocked

afraser2k · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:08

Used to play on their CS servers and in their league before it went pay-to-play.

Jamesdavid3 · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:10

Barrysworld!

havnt heard that in about 5 years when i was playing CS

Witor · 4 Jun 2009 at 16:10

Is Clanbase still around? Used to play EU Q2 clans quite often in leagues, cant check whether its still alive at the moment (work filter)

Barrysworld... RIP

Barrysworld was excellent - weeks and weeks of tribes playing. The current incarnation is the Freddyshouse forum. You can read why here.

I remember they used advertise in the back of PC mags.

Why do you ask? Is it making a comeback?
