to all the "this game rocks" people out there.
You do realise that this IS 100% quake 3 Vanilla ? They really went to lenghts here to make money with nothing (using ads, as they stated they will). And don't get me wrong, i LOVE quake (q1-3 anyway) but this is just milking a (undead) cashcow ....

again, i love quake, i really do. Im just surprised that instead of making an actual new one, they re-use quake 3 and its engine for this. To milk it 10 years after its release. Obviously its great for the people playing it (i guess).

It's not like they hyped it to be anything ground-breaking ...

i'm sure they'll make new games if the web platform seems viable. they said in an interview they were thinking of licensing it off if it hits something like 5mil users fairly quickly. not only that but they've had issues making vanilla quake 3 into quakelive, they mentioned that if they were to push the technology, the dev time would of really been a problem. oh and they're trying to keep costs low so they can write it off if need be.
not that i care, i'd say milking is a fair appraisal of the situation, but it helps to know they're not slacking off. it's funny they say at the start that the web stuff should be easy for a couple of hot shot gaming programmers. right? lol! yeah they didnt find it so easy. the crew is only 9 core devs and 4 contractors.

No longer beta, two subscription modes introduced as well but mostly extras over what is already available in the free version that's been online for a while now.

Argh, something that would be fantastic. I still play Q3 from time to time (and get owned of course, but it's not a problem, it's still fun )

I tried QL 2-3 years ago, didn't like it.
I joined a beginner server, everyone there were far from beginners.
The players on my team quit after a few mins and I was left alone against 4 players; I got a few frags against them and left.
I still have Q3 installed,I loved it back in the day and still play it on occasions against bots on nightmare just for laughs.

Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

What? 14 days only? They killed my first account because I was inactive for >1 year. |
there was a new mail sent out a while back and not so long ago about a 14 day lack of use will now delete the account due to them doing changes or so forth. I dont see how anyone still has a year account if not logged in, in a year lol.
Maybe it was a bogus email I didnt really check cause I thought it did not really matter as I was not playing at the time and just deleted the mail and said fuck it.
Edit: yup just checked, all email addresses invalid. fuckers..

pathetic (i mean, they broke a 15 year old game that worked just fine). |
Now you at least have a launcher, isn't that neat!
