Quote from: reaper on August 09, 2011, 04:14:45 PMthere's many players that would love to get started if they knew how to get that installer, and where to go from there with goto. trying to get an old game working to be fucked with usually isn't super pleasant.what does it take to do that?? my first thoughts would be some kind of advertisting, and a larger link for "getting started", with simple content, like get Elysium's or Jehar's kicker, goto these servers, come here for help.I think a more visible link for a getting started type of page would help. I attached an image of the one they have over at quakeworld.nu for an example.As far as advertising goes, I'm not really sure what would be the easiest / most effective way to go about it. The only thing I can think of is in trying to spread the word about Q2 on other popular gaming forums.

Yes, that's possible, it's called making a computer virus and it's illegal.
The short attention span and lack of patience you mention is more likely to show up when someone is actually trying install and configure the game rather than when they're playing it. BTW, instant gratification is why I love this game, I can go from being at my desktop to being in-game in about 3 seconds. I don't know of any modern FPS that can do this.
