It's been ages but I want to play some 1.6, but not stuff that's modded to the hilt, or with fake player counts. Both are the case on every server I've tried joining, so I'm asking: Is there anything I can filter for that will give me a relatively normal 1.6 experience?

As Gametracker does not own or manage any servers we have no way of knowing what modifications are in place.

As for fake players, we allow a maximum of three fake players/undetected bots per server. You may use the 'Report' button on the GT server page for any server that is clearly violating that rule.

As such it will normally be better to select servers that are ranked (not marked 'NR' (Not Ranked)) if wishing to avoid servers with fake players.
