Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

Frank, ST2, Wacko1976, Inscius!

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...


 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.


 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

imo playing 4k/8k CB is not that good. (Worthless to improve :D) The points for a game (if you collect them) are low. The gameplay is always the same. You have to be pretty fast, come into game early, choose a nice city, never miss a delivery and then use farms for goods coz they are to best.
If you want to make a change or improve you playing skills, I recommend you to play on 27-29 server (Aphid script, modified). At start it migch seem a bit harde, but in the longterm I think it is more rewarding (points, company structure/network, fun). There are also a lot of techniques how to win if you struggle at some point. Coming later into a game doesnt mean anything (if tomb is not playing :D) and after some practise you can finish 7.5k desert (temperate/arctic are faster) under 2h.
It is double the time of 8k, but It is about building working network, trying to deliver multiple resources and not about spaming spiral grid, exploit one way roads for bus/mail deliveries and using farms as the only source for goods :)

@Aldoras: We try to balance points for the effort and time. Not always easy but I agree with you in 1 point: servers #12, #13 and #15 (and *A clones) are easy. So, it's normal that points are low ^^
Using same GS as previously mentioned servers, we have #10, #11 and #14 - are a bit harder because of demmands (desert). Worth a try if you like some easy/medium challenges :)

As you say, servers #27 to #29 are way more interesting and challenging - Different GameScript/mechanics/demands! Server #30 requires the knowledge of FIRS mechanics to make good games/times. IMO, this are the ones to where players go after have a minimal knowledge of the game mechanics

In future I'm thinking on lowering the points of servers #12, #13 and #15 (and *A clones). Not to undervalue them... but to value the difference of effort that takes reach the goal on servers #27 to #30 (or the Desert servers using same GS). But that's something to be pondered yet ^^

Same happens with CV servers, or whatever modes we have. The fact that servers #12, #13 and #15 are the most popular (easy ones), some players feel the need to bend the rules just for the "best times". All what I have to say about this matter is: some players already lost their 10 best times and points for abusing and, now, there's 3 more candidates for it! I'm just waiting!!

Anyway, we have competitive/goal servers. That, most of the times, can lead to players try to "slightly bend" our rules - What I have to say: Do NOT take that way... always ends badly!
My suggestion: play fair and by our rules and, most importantly... ENJOY the games! It's a game after all ^^

Just to clear some things. By "exploiting one way roads" I didnt mean cheating. I just wanted to point out that players using one way roads closed from both sides and having 2 stations inside with endlessly rotating busses have less trouble to fullfill monthly demands coz of this feature.

So instead you either put depots on each side, which should be easy since the infrastructure in town is mostly owned by you or you just put two drive in stations in front of each other (if drive through stations got disabled).

And even if this all got somehow disabled, rotating buses on a 2x2 square is easy enough as well, and if you can actually work with catchment areas, you'll be able to serve same area (if not slightly bigger) than before using only a few roads more.

I don't think that's what he meant. When I was still learning CB years ago I never built those closed stations as I thought they just look stupid and unrealistic (haha I still do actualy). It's just the most efficent way to provide service for your town. If it was up to me I would forbid self-competitions with no exceptions (well, maybe allow overlapping of 1 row of tiles but only in towns). BTPro has a nice ruleset already, it forces more realistic style of building because it doesn't allow station spread, forces usage of ships and mostly forbids silly self competition - I say - why not go even further? =)
