I am fucking bored of singleplayer.
Plus I can't connect to any server since they all use 1.0006/1.0007b which really annoys me,Steam is being a fag and doesn't want to make any updates.
I remember I played Multiplayer only once,and I really enjoyed it.
Maybe you'd like to put down one of your servers and replace it with SoC 1.0005 patch one?
PS:I won't buy retail to play any of those 1.0006 and 1.0007B servers..

It would be awesome to have a STALKER SOC server heh. It would be a server with a decent and PLAYABLE ping.
Sure, if it's on STEAM with the first STEAM version.
Never played multiplayer for this. What's it like?
I definitely support this idea! I have the Steam version (1.0005) and all the servers are 1.0006 and in Ukraine or Russia (terrible ping/lag). So a North American server would be amazing! I'm sure it would be popular. Not to mention HGN has a lot of servers not being used, why not get a STALKER server? There is a group on Steam which is trying to get a North American server but it hasn't yet... Here it is join the group and support them! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/strelok (http://steamcommunity.com/groups/strelok)
But I'd seriously love it if you would consider this idea. Multiplayer in SoC isn't that bad! From what I've played (only found one 1.0005 server in Ukraine/Russia) it's actually quite promising.
If you can manage to get a decent server in SoC it is extremely fun :).
Kahn said he won't host server for this
So...We don't have a chance.
Kahn's not the only person who can host servers however.

What?! Why not! We have 9 servers which are never used! Why not get a server which WILL be played on and WILL be popular?

EXACTLY!
I am fucking tired of not understanding people on matches, 100% support!
It seems that no matter how much the HGN members support a brilliant idea for a server, no one will take notice. But when someone mentions 'Taking down a server' there's a bloody E-Riot.
People who have bought the Steam version of ShoC are stuck on 1.0005, I've tried updating it to 1.0006 / 7 but it refuses and GSC Gameworld are too lazy to make the updates compatible with the Steam version. I'm certainly not wasting another 25 pounds on a retail version just to get multiplayer on servers with massive pings; when HGN can take down a server which is never used and replace it with one that will be used by players in and out of HGN.
Sure we may need to mention it to people who have the Steam version of ShoC who have no knowledge of it, but it's a little bit of work in order to gain a lot of fun.
The only people that seem to play on clear sky MP are russians..
I'll agree with that Spacy, and its annoying. I find that multiplayer extremely, extremely fun. Especially with friends. Too bad you can't join a server without lagging to the point where you cant even move the way you want.

I'de buy a copy on Direct2Drive to play. I think thar should be a pole as to what version it'de run on though, if there was going to be a server.
sounds good
I want to shoot other people in the heaaaaaaads.....
SRP on real S.T.A.L.K.E.R! Would be epic!
Wouldnt the sensible thing be to get a Call of pripyat one instead? when its out?
SoC = more easily obtainable with digital currency.
CoP = more graphicly demanding, 50 buck price tag minimum.
CoP would have alot more players though, might be a way to get a STALKER clan together and bring in some new members.
You forgot CS! CS rules!
I prefer CS out of all of em
YA!!!

Call of pripyat server would be awesome.
CS was fun to dick around on but i raged hard @ the linear drive, the ending, and how the weapons functioned. Night Fights where fun though, I remember making my way to the garbage for the first time, at night, and a group of bandits had spotted me. Had to fight them because that's how I play STALKER, everyone who opposes me dies.
Also I hate AI spawning. I remember being at agroprom next to the swamp, killing a pack of flesh's (because they where near me). Anyways, I stood on top of a rock, that was next to a camp fire. I go to shoot the last one and a group of 8 bandts just spawn out of no where and start wasting me. I hop off the rock, barely recover before being naded, only to reload on the rock before they popped up again.
Needless to say they died the second time around but i hate spawning. They should just roam.
Same issue with SoC, AI spawns in that.
I had been heading to the garbage, and the outpost in cordon to garbage was under control by the miliary i'm guessing. I stalk into the outpost, scout it out. No one was there, not a soul. I drop my guard and 5 military spawn around me and waste me in a split second.
Rince and repeat, exept this time i wait a few seconds, and the military spawns, only to have a bunch of bandits spawn behind them and they fight eachother. I think 1 military dude is left after the fight but that's the back story behind the "STALKER Failed Ragdoll" video in my signature. All of those radolls are from this instance.

Thead derail aside, I think we should have a CoP server and SoC or CS.
CoP for the new wave of players, and CS to satisfy everyone else.
Stalker SoC has my Support! Doesnt count much but its there, Never tired Stalker Online but the Steam Tend to give me either a different version or a very laggy time on them so i barely got to play.
