We had a building event on a ClassicGen server
Trailer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=QwUOgXun5v8The BasicsYou may think the graphics are sort of crappy, but it's much deeper than the graphics. You can make your own skins, scopes, even maps. Oh yeah, you can build too. It was made in 2011 by Ben Aksoy and bought by Jagex during beta. Jagex announced that on December second, they would shut down the master server. This was basically the last straw, and thus, buildandshoot was born from the efforts of izzy, Stackoverflow and danhezee.
AlohaOne of the biggest server groups is Aloha. izzy is the host of the Aloha servers, and because of him, over 20 out of the 89 AoS servers are Aloha's. Some gamemodes and servers include:
Babel - Both teams race to build towers up to a giant blue platform in the sky (the "heavens") and capture the intel.
1ctf Pinpoint - Pinpoint, a map made by izzy himself, runs 24/7 on this server. The noteworthy part of this server, is that the only intel is in the very center.
Arena - In this gamemode, you have one life per round. The team that wipes out the other team completely takes the round. If no teams are taken down, the round ends in a tie. Arena maps are significantly smaller than other maps.
MinitAnother large server group is Minit. Run by Enari and topo, they host eight servers, most of which run the Team Deathmatch gamemode. Some servers include:
Minit Classic Assault - Runs the Assault map 24/7, with squads and airstrikes, but no water damage. Green spawns on a low, flat area, while blue spawns on a high tower. Inspired by the Goonhaven 2 server, which was taken down a while ago.
Minit Push - A new-ish gamemode in which teams spawn on islands on different sides of the map. The goal is to build bridges across the islands to capture the intel at your team's CP.
General rulesOf course, like other games, Ace of Spades has rules. General rules include no hacking, no griefing, no racism, etc.
