What was Quickplay?
Quickplay was TF2's old matchmaking system. You could press "Play" and immediately you're in a match. This was removed by Valve in the Meet Your Match update in favor of Casual Mode.
About
Vanilla Fortress is a community hub for finding and seeding vanilla TF2 servers running the original Quickplay era ruleset.
FAQ
Why are you doing this?
Our mission is to help bring back Quickplay by organizing sessions on TF2 servers that run the Quickplay ruleset.
How will this help bring back Quickplay?
By giving people a place where they can experience Quickplay's ruleset for themselves, eventually more people will prefer it over Casual Mode and support bringing it back.
What should I do if the servers are all dead?
You can sacrifice 10 minutes of playtime to stay on it. People will join servers if they see there's 1-3 players on, eventually filling it up. You can also start a session for it on our Discord server (opens in a new tab).
How can I help?
Spread the word. We want more and more people to fill up community servers, and it's up to YOU to do it.
