And they say Quake is Dead

[yahoo]

was checking out q2servers just now and got this pleasant surprise



never saw this much action and to see that 3 servers were full
KOTS seems to be getting much attention lately

[yahoo]

Amazing.
IDK bout the organized event. maybe for KOTS.
Even TS servers have its share if im right. Saw a lot of players at pygmy and dm8 too.

I also suspected that they were some sort of bots. I checked the pings and connected to pygmy and they dont seem like bots.

KOTS servers are almost always filled when they first start up. Same with Vortex.

When the EDL or euroq2l finals are running you can see 50+ players in gtv servers!

lol
wtf is going on in Chile?
is q2 new there? 

[Gouki]

How would I get around to fixing these overflows I keep getting? Theres so much spam and stuff happening in KOTS right now that at times it becomes unplayable

[fdrjk]

Don't play in Chile. It's a complete joke anyway. The servers are horrible and you get ungodly lag and packet loss.

[yahoo]

It's up to four completely packed KOTS2007 servers now, I finally managed to connect to one of them to confim that they aren't bots or anything.

what boogles me is how can one youtube post can suddenly entice more than a hundred players to play KOTS

I was on Warehouse lastnight and it was like shooting fish in a bowl 
I had well over 100 frags (wish I would have screen shot it).
Someone really good could have 150.
