Quakeworld MUST READ

[gnd]

Dear Gamers,
I would like to welcome you to give a game called quakeworld a try. I am part of a moderate North American Scene
of around 50 quakeworld players. In europe this game has a much larger scene, upwards of 400. The last big 1on1 tournament
had over 270 signups! The latest 4on4 league has 35 clans participating! This is quite a large scene internationally.
This game is fast, intense, and definitely for people who enjoy fragging. It is an oldie, but still a goodie. Many scenes
from netquake, quake2, quake3, quake4, and so on are small and mediocre. If these scenes combined, there would be much
more action and competition for ALL of us. The attraction to quakeworld above all other games is the physics of the client.
Anyone who plays this game is instantly hooked. The scene in general is active, so I would like to invite anyone and everyone
to consolidate into quakeworld. You may love the game you play, but you will love quakeworld even more. Many players from different
games have come and gone. But there is still a large group of people that play, and we would like it to grow even more.
If you would like to join our community and give this game a try, there are a few easy instructions to get going.

Visit www.quakeworld.nu and download "NQUAKE" which is the full quakeworld install.
Then goto q1dm.site11.com/q1paks.zip and download the map paks needed. Simply Extract these into c:\quake\id1.
For servers visit www.quakeservers.net or download "Qtracker".
Visit us on IRC for questions at irc.quakenet.org #qwrookie or #oclan

Thanks for the links. It's good to have a post explaining where we can get all the needed files. Quake 1 has been GPL'd for some time, but there is a limited resource for places for newbs to the scene to get the game. I'll probably gives those downloads a try later.


In the meantime, I find the wording "give a game called quakeworld a try" funny. as if players of Quake 2 have never heard of Quake 1.

I recently started playing NetQuake again and though QW and NQ are different things it's safe to say that both are very fast games that play great online.

The SP Quake maps you can get at func and quaddicted are also of extremely high quality.

And btw, I'm working on a Quake 1 map atm.
