New TF2 Asia Community Servers for Asian Players

RobbzeKINGEN · 6 Sep 2026 at 09:16 · permalink

If you are a TF2 player from Asia, you will notice that the Asia region is pretty much an abandoned wasteland (Uncletopia Asia is gone), and is only filled with heavily modded servers.

Fortunately, there is a community server where you can just simply play TF2. The servers are called arctic tf servers, and is the same server network operating the MGE servers in Asia. New Vanilla+ and Reverts servers in Singapore have been added, and these are the IPs/links:

* Vanilla+: connect 202.1.31.153:27016
* Vanilla+ Direct link: https://beta.arctic.tf/vanilla-plus-singapore
* Full Weapon Reverts: connect 202.1.31.153:27015
* Reverts Direct link: https://beta.arctic.tf/reverts-singapore

* Full server list: https://beta.arctic.tf/servers
* Steam Group Chat Link: https://steamcommunity.com/chat/invite/ANyLcbYj

For the Singapore Vanilla+ and Reverts server, either server are active every 8PM GMT+8. We also have a Steam group chat to arrange for play sessions. Come help seed the servers so that we can actually play TF2 without being stuck queuing for Casual Mode.

For server features, Vanilla+ offers your typical Vanilla TF2 experience with a 30 minute map timer along with certain weapons like the Bison being fully reverted, !fov plugin, !nohats plugin, etc. The Reverts server uses a plugin that reverts a lot of weapons in the game to their peak states. Feedback is appreciated for these servers. Every weekend, we have custom maps in the rotation.

arctic tf also has SDR (Steam Datagram Relay) Vanilla/Vanilla+/Reverts/MGE servers located in Hong Kong, Mumbai, Tokyo, and Seoul as of the time of this writing. However, SDR servers do not get saved in your Favorites in the server browser.

cool that asia gets a more active community server now ever since uncletopia hk Died

vanilla+ changes are a little dubious but i'm fine with them other than the pre-JI sandman

Also for competitive players — Pingu PUG server exists for all skill divisions, mostly Highlander with occasional 6s https://discord.gg/7Ms2xQPHnv

For booking, matcha bookable is quite popular amongst competitive players but I think players who want a private server for their friends can use this too https://discord.gg/8ysCuREbWQ

is there any way i can support these efforts

After Valve banned bots in Casual Mode, most of the Uncletopia server regulars came back to Casual Mode. It was Casual Mode being literally unplayable that forced players to play on community servers. The servers after the bot purge were then barely populated.

You can show your support by helping populate the servers. The owner so far does not accept donations and the costs come out from their pockets.
