Regularly:
DGS, OGS, Brettspielnetz.de

Rarely:
KGS, IGS, WBaduk, YourTurnMyTurn, Jijbent.nl, Animexx, FlyOrDie

I used to play on KGS a lot but the incessant puerile chatter in the room window and in games drove me away. Now I maybe play one game every three months on there. I usually have a few games going on DGS and on the rare occasion when I have time for a real time game I go to CyberORO (I still cannot think of it as WBaduk).

Nice write-up. I've been curious about some of the other servers, and that helps.

I'm honestly very surprised at the low amount that are on Tygem/TOM. In my opinion, this is the best place to observe(pro games, top games, etc) and play go if you are being serious about getting stronger. KGS is definitely lower ranked because of the fact that the population of the server is just so minor in comparison to Tygem/TOM. Also, let's not forget that there is no such thing as a daily 9d game on KGS. This fact frustrates me a lot. The only thing you need to learn for Tygem/TOM is a few of the buttons involved, but that is honestly not so tough if you play often there.

Why do you need a daily 9d game? Are you 8d?

I live in a closed loop that begins and ends with KGS.

Why do I need to be 8d to enjoy a game? Do I watch professional basketball, even though I am not a basketball player? Yes. Do I watch a professional tennis match when I am a below average tennis player? Yes. In the same sense, do I watch Starcraft 2 games even though I've only played starcraft a total of three times? Yes. Do I watch starcraft tournaments in Korean even though I do not understand enough to have any idea of what they are saying? Yes. Yes I do. I don't think you need justification for enjoying the things you enjoy.

I'm not too sure if that comment somehow insults you, and I'm not too sure why it would.

As for kibitzers being a possible reason why you quit KGS, I am not involved in that. Please do not take out your anger on me. I am sorry things turned out that for you. I really am. I do not overstep my bounds on what I say in kibitz. I do not insult players, and I definitely do enjoy a good game between players who seem to know how to play the game at a more advanced level than I.

Husky + HD are amazingggggg .

I'm a Wbaduk user, i like the interface, i always have request for a game, it has some problems to resolve if you're interested and streams professional games.

Ive been playing mainly on KGS ever since I found out there were alternatives to Yahoo go. Ive tried turn based servers like DGS and Littlegolem, but I quit since I think too much about unfinished games which is bad for my daily life and my sleep.

I'm kind of slacking on my SCII game observing, but definitely will keep an out on these two. I believe I've seen a few games where they do some amazing things. I mostly(and randomly) watch the day9 livestream as his commentary is informative, without being completely confused all around. Not to mention, he also does English commentary which is a nice change. He also obs and comments the ZOTAC(european tournament) games. There was an amazing 1v1(one of the ZOTAC semi-finals/finals games) where there was a base exchange, and then turned into a race between the two. GEE GEEEEE!

KGS is not necessarily better, it just depends on what features you expect from the server. Diversifying servers is not a bad idea since there are different playing styles. On IGS joseki knowledge seems to be stronger than fighting capability, and on Wbaduk it's the other way around. KGS is somewhere in between these two extremes. It's cool to have this experience

Hi,

Still an interesting poll. Thanks

I play ranked actively on Tygem. I'm also on KGS, but generally only play teaching or learning games there. I like KGS' atmosphere of study and learning, but I like the quick, anonymity, and different styles you can find on Tygem.
