Used to play cs on wireplay with a 56k modem but only after 6pm when the cost dropped to 1p per minute

I ran up a 240 quid phone bill on Wireplay, my dad wasn't best pleased. Took me months to pay that off

I ran up a £120 phone bill and luckily 512kb adsl became available so switched to that for a low ping and massive gaming advantage. It made a change from tweaking 56k modem settings to get a stable ping around 100ms in cs.

Maybe the same Stan i knew in RL. Met him playing UO while waiting at a portal, then turned out he played Kingping on WP. He played CS as well on WP and went down to his place for a beer one bonfire night. Cracking time on WP especially the guys from Bridlington in DSH clan from TFC.

I started on Wireplay when I played Q2, started off with a 33,600 modem getting hammered, ended up with ISDN that was expensive but awesome at the time.
Seeing as this thread has been revived...
I remember you. You were one of the first players I played against on the public servers.
I was there
In fact I've just noticed something interesting in one of those photo's but I'll add it to that thread.
Used to love Wireplay to be honest... my first real online gaming experience and it's sense of community is something I dont think we will ever see again.
Was heavily into Quake 2 myself for several years and member of several clans until I found Everquest... damn there's a few years of my life swallowed
Recently started playing Doom online after a LONG time out the FPS genre... well... multiplayer anyways... Still not sure if I like it as the weapons kinda suck... but sticking at it for now

Plenty of RV thereI was there
It was the only i LAN that I ever went to. So long ago now!
Damn, I was mates with a couple of lads from M2S. Bombay Roll and Bubble'n'Squeak. Bom went to play for D2C didn't he? He asked me if I wanted to trial for them to take his place when he was leaving.
...yes, I was that good.
Haha, omg blast from the past. I played with those guys in M2S, I vaguely remember Bom being amazing.
Also Stoney, Grim etc
I played in some TFC teams on Wireplay, think I was in =DA= 'Dark Angels'?
He wasn't as good as me.
Oh I was big into TFC, my first online game that got me addicted. I played for BEERZnWORMZ and Godshots, I only played sniper even when I was playing "proper" clan games.
Soldier and engi were fun too though, and the med with the conc jumps. Such a skill.

I was never in M2S matey, always faithful to BnW. Bubble’n’Squeak left M2S to join us. I knew most of the guys though, good bunch.
Used to love the conc jump only maps that where like assault courses.
Played a lot of TFC too though I was rubbish
Those conc maps were amazing! The last one where you had to do a triple conc jump over that huge gap. Me and a mate spent about 8 hours in a single session on that bit. Back when I had patience. And an attention span.
Yep, we were all young then. People got old, online gaming has changed, for the worst, and all we have are the sweet sweet memories.

Sounds like my situation. Had around a 250-280 ping for a couple of years. When you changed was it all you expected? I remember everyone saying how much of a difference it would make. I still didn't believe but wow what a difference it made when I got ISDN.
