Welcome!

Welcome to Variety.TF! Our servers are catered towards players who want a bot-less, vanilla, casual-like experience but are tired of constantly playing on the same maps and desire a fresher experience. Our servers are designed to put many of the incredibly well-made community-created maps in the spotlight. One of the ways we do this is by incorporating a special “Variable Rotation” which forces map variety and stamps out favouritism and bias. We understand the dire state of modern TF2, and hope to provide another option for players to enjoy the game.

We seek to establish a friendly, casual community that echoes back to the classic era of community servers. That means creating an environment where people can make friends and have fun playing the game. For instance, we have alltalk enabled to promote more chatter between people and discourage competitive-style callouts. Whether you are a new player or an old competitive veteran, we hope to bring all players together in a place where we can enjoy TF2 and continue to play this amazing game that we have loved for so many years.

Other Regions

At the moment, we are unable to support servers in other regions. We understand the frustration of being unable to play and hope to open servers in other regions in the future. We are also open to adding more servers within Europe and North America in different areas. (Mainly East and West Coast US)

Putting Community Maps First!

In order to ensure the same maps aren’t being played over and over, we run a special map rotation system where certain maps are only available on certain days. There is a total map pool of 108 maps in the current rotation. A third of these maps are stock maps, the other two thirds are community-made. Each day has 12 unique maps assigned to it, in a cycle that resets every 9 days. You can check out the current map rotation across servers here.

There’s no need to worry, I’m sure you’re a good person… right?

2. Avoid political discussions and don’t attack people for having certain political beliefs.
3. Do not spam or micspam on the servers.
4. Posting of images containing nudity, gore or disturbing content (nsfw content) is forbidden. Suggestive is okay. This also applies with in-game sprays or making weirdly sexual comments in general.
5. Any decision by Staff is final.
6. No advertising. Promotion of one’s services (such as artwork) is allowed on the #creative channel in the Discord server.
7. Do not abuse voting on the servers.
8. Use common sense, if it’s generally frowned upon it might not be a good idea to do it.
