I think it would be a good idea to get some q3 servers up and running...Have the whole tasty spleen community playing some q3!

Quake III: Arena is an awesome game, I really enjoyed playing it, but I never played it as long as I played Quake II.
I think creating a server would bring me back into it. A great idea!

I'm not going to get as heated as usual about this subject, but I will say that there is a large number of negetive feelings towards quake 3 here.

Why is that?

I second that!

I believe it's because of it's lack of a hardcore feel. Q2 has a really, really, unique physics feel and gameplay that will never be duplicated. (IMO)

Q3's balance and gameplay seemed to fall by the wayside to good graphics and mediocre gameplay to appeal to the younger masses.

i disagree
this is not something you want to be responsible for bringing about

if someone wanted, I *COULD* setup a Q3A server. but I enjoy the out-of-the-box gameplay of Q1/2 much much more. plus I enjoy the mods for Q1/2 more. I'm working on getting the ability of Q1 up with my server host. Would enjoy some horror show mp.

Hmm, what about some QW servers?

The Happy Friar · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2008, 08:35:41 AM »

Quake World (q1) or Quake Wars? I can't do D3 based games. Not w/o another server. That's extra $$.

my own server (currently Q2):
72.5.248.204:27910

That's one of ET's ip's if im not mistaken.. How is their service for you ? I've seen Escaped Turkey servers have soo many problems...
I ended up with an ET server couple months ago just as a backup for NAiL and Insta 500, it does ok but somedays it seems like it gets heavy cpu lag.

I'm not the first customer with this problem. Maybe I just need to take more time to tweak the config, I work so much on other things I just wrote the config and threw it up.

Quake World...I really think that the community could grow alot,

X'tyfe · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2008, 03:12:52 PM »

quakeworld already has a much bigger community than quake2

i haven't had any issues with them. a mod or two has issues (maps won't rotate, etc). My copy of XP had issues & would cause random 999+ lag spikes in all games so I couldn't really tell. But peewee has played on there & never complained. I'm getting a new rig in the next few weeks so I'll be able to see if XP messes with me again (linux had no spike issues).

I've had that server running for ~1 month solid & ~last week they had a server/kernal issue that required a system-wide reboot. An hour later my server worked fine (that's why it's on holy wars instead of something else atm).

EDIT: even though you can run Valve games, they suck. ET admits they won't work 100% & just have them on there if you want to use them. The TF2 beta server I ran crashed after an hour. I've only ever had a Q2 crash if it was mod related.

I'll happily post up my config's if you want.
