9:35:47pm (SyncError) bah
9:35:50pm (SyncError) I told them to fix that this morning
9:35:57pm (SyncError) let me poke them or I'll go reboot the server
9:36:15pm (mnemjc) hehe, thanks :)
thank gawd!! Man that was killing me. I could get into a server via QTracker, but they were all empty since even then most people "could not authenticate".
Dead means 0, I have seen 5 people come to my server who have just bought this game in the last 5 days. Quiet may be the correct term. But Quake has always been small its just the nature of it. People dont want to invest the time in a game to get to where they need to go.
:) yeah and for those who keep yelling like every other sentence in every post that the game is dead---how is that actually helping? :P I see your mod stywo is doing well so far---so I dont understand how that makes quake dead when new people are creating new mods :) Not to say you are new to quake.

pushing the limits at each sequel
q3 is dying since almost 100 years
q4 was born dead
ql doesn't even manage to get born, seems to be frozen in foetus state forever
and I guess q5 will remain a ghost
its an interesting point to look at, the mentality of a community and the life of the game. LIke planting seeds in people's heads--by repeating the same bs over and over about a game being dead. True enough though, for most its not about the content but about the results. Qlive will gain victories for folks it will definitely be teh rave becuase thats the point for most people. most of the complaints about q4 isnt about q4 sucking--which it dont--its just becuase they lose and they want to blame the game so they come onto a forum and flame so they can gain some fame :P
Personally, I think it sucks that q3 is the next release and is the next thing in quake. But surely, the salient negativity in the q4 community has not helped q4 any that is for sure. True enough, people just dont want to invest the time in a game. So making a game easier or more noob friendly is almost like a band going corporate--its very close to selling out.
Fact is, for a lot of people, you can put shit on a platter---if it yields good stats and wins people will love it. Just like movies and tv---yo udont have to have anything good on--people will watch whatever is put in front of their face.

whats funny is when all the players come back from playing QL to play q4 ctf in #spontan.games , the first thing they say is "oh crouchslide baby how I missed you" or "the speed is so awesome"
