Hello Portaro, welcome.  :)

Excuse me, I have not understood exactly what you mean with "add servers of gamers to my Open Arena"...
I mean, OpenArena has got its own server browser, so you should just select "multiplayer" in main menu, and should see server list (be sure to have selected "internet" servers, and check the other filters -maybe you have filtered for a specific gametype and human players only-). Does this work for you? If it doesn't work, maybe your firewall settings block OpenArena.

Also, there are other ways to find servers, I suggest using http://dpmaster.deathmask.net/?game=openarena plus OAwire Firefox extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/oawire/) (which adds useful launch links in dpmaster web pages).

Thanks for reply, I will test in past I use the mission packs option and I thinking that this is the menu to access server , and there are a option to add servers but I ever cant add nothing .

Now I understand that is on the multiplayer option.

Thanks.

disregard 'missionpack', the gameplay stuff in that has been merged in baseoa already. all that gives is an interface and a broken team system right now
