Worth it to buy?

[MANCHILD1200]

TFC brings back such memories for me. Last time I played it was around 7 years ago so obviously I don't have my original half life cd's anymore. After playing so much TF2 I have this sudden urge to play some TFC.

First some questions before I might buy it...

Are there any Australian servers still populated?

If not, are there American servers where people won't yell at me for having a high ping?

The only thing stopping me from getting this game is wondering if people still play it.

I found 3 in Australia, but not populated.

As for pings to other countries, you could download a third party game server browser which should be able to look up TFC servers (including ping) for you, even if you do not own TFC yet. E.g. Gamespy Arcade, Qtracker, Xfire (more at Google (http://www.google.com/search?q=game+server+browser) and Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Game_server_browsers)).

Nobody on The Gas Chamber servers will complain about your ping...:)

Most of TFC's surviving servers are in the UK (jolt.co.uk).
