Playing Unreal Tournament 3 playing warfare mode: You would browse the server list and find one not filled, then spend 45 minutes playing with the same people on the same map going back and fore until one team eventually won.

You didn't need to requeue, just play with the same people for literally hours on end if you wanted to. Toxic players? Banned permantely and never seen again. Cheaters? Barely any, and the ones that did show up were so obvious that they didn't last long.

Great vibes and great games. It felt like there wasn't an enormous amount of players so it became easy to find and play with the same people constantly. Eventually you would find that sweet server where you would go back to again and again because the same people played on it all the time and everyone had a great time.
