    As the title says. I bought the game immediately after watching the trailer on the homepage about castle destruction. I was really excited looking forward to trying out what seemed to be an awesome game. However, to my disappointment I found there to be only about 4 servers up at a time, all deathmatch and only a few players in each one.

    Where are all the players? How can I play the castle game mode?

    Haha, well your server browser is probably set to beginner stuff. You can change that in the upper right hand corner of the server window. :)

    You can build castles in basically any mode, excluding Deathmatch. If you want to build exclusively, with little or no fear of constant danger, then a creative server is best, or at a stretch a roleplay server, whatever floats your boat most. I'd give you the tip to take a decent shot at playing the more traditional, violent gamemodes, such as CTF or RTDM, because they're just really fun.

    Depending on your location, I would recommend Beo's Servers, the MOLE server and, for a bit more chaos, the non-premium Action Unlimited CTF.

    Hahahahah funny to read this, when I started with the game, I only playd creative solo.
    After a week I saw that the game was online to (XD FAIL) and I only did creative :P just like you.

    Than I thought I could maybe for fun try that sucking CTF, but than I liked it more then creative..
    So try CTF!


    Nevermind, if you want to try CTF, I think you should start with Hostedgameserver.com Germany (there are few, if somebody is at it take that one).
    They are simple and I like that.

    For creative I recommend Get Creative or Gold Creative (Gold Creative isn't online a lot).

    Also have a look at Beo's WAR Server, that's building and fighting.

    But remember one thing; Have fun!

    Creative can be fun for awhile, but you have to play CTF to really appreciate building things.

    Creative building is more about how something looks, while CTF building is how it can hold against attackers.

    The guy's not replying because he's having too much fun building/destroying stuff. Brings a tear to my eye.

    I'm just reminding you of our great help section.
    Also of our wonderful search bar located in the top right corner.

    Man this beginner filter thing has to go. I wonder how many dozens, even hundreds of players have missed out on KAG because of it.

    If you give a man a wrench, big deal he has a wrench.

    Tell the man to bludgeon another man with the wrench, and he bludgeons the other man with the wrench. Seems like a simple concept but they might think they need to do something absurd like use it to fix or construct something. What I'm getting at is that the Beginners' Tag really threw people off because they didn't know how it functioned.

    so?
    I malfunction in every way you could possibly look at it, and I figured it out.

    Isn't there a notice when you first start up KAG that specifically tells you about the filters? Maybe there should be one that shows you them every time you load up, or just none at all, like the days of old...

    It doesn't matter that you figured it out. A chimp can figure out how to solve a puzzle, that doesn't mean every chimp knows how to solve the puzzle.

    What I'm saying is we're all chimps, the tag system was the puzzle, and clearly there were a lot of chimps that couldn't solve the puzzle.

    Send them in space.

    Easy solution: Set the box to display ALL gamemodes by default.
