Brand new.. I hope this game isn't dead

Havikz · 08-18-2013, 10:04 AM

I'm a long time Team Fortress (also TF2) and quake player, and I heard that somebody combined quake elements with Team Fortress, and I was instantly interested. I've stared at the server list for the past 10 minutes, and there's just nobody to play with

Is it just because it's 4 in the morning, or is it like this all the time?

Not many people play. I'm european , and there's ususally some people playing on saturday noons, and that's about it.
But did you know Team fortress started as a quake mod? Quake world team fortress was the first team fortress game. That's why you see the quake elements you speak of.

Is there any time when people are semi-active?

The game is more active than just Saturday afternoons. The game is most active during evening/night US eastern time. It's not going to be active all the time, but there is usually an active pub game going on in the evenings.

About 4-12pm EST most days you'll find players. We also run pickup games daily, if that's your type of thing.

4pm - 12am EST is what he means I'm pretty sure

KubeDawg · 08-18-2013, 02:01 PM

It also depends on where you are located. If in the US, you will find more players and generally in the evening/night time more than other times.

Yeah that one.

4-12est Pretty much covers that, EST is EST.

It's been almost dead since 2008.

CaptainAhab · 08-19-2013, 04:28 AM

It has all already been said -- generally active in the evenings, and most players are from the US, with a handful of Europeans.

If you're fine with a small and tight-knit community that is only active during certain times of the day, then it'll be just fine. If you need people playing 24/7, this game will not suffice, I'm afraid.

I'm probably going to start idling in windowed mode so I can get people to play, because I'm pretty sure the main problem with us EU guys is that we don't even try playing if the server is empty.

I just gotta remember to check it every 10 mins. It'd be way damn easier if I had two monitors, though. D:

Good luck with that, the serverlist stopped working, so people don't really know you're idling unless they have the server in their favourites :/.

CaptainAhab · 08-22-2013, 05:27 PM

Mine still works -- just sometimes fails to load. Though it works more than 50% of the time.

KubeDawg · 08-22-2013, 09:20 PM

It's back to normal now it would seem.

Headz · 08-27-2013, 03:51 PM

When I have so much money it would be considered mildly offensive I will pay for a major advertising campaign.

Sometimes I can't even tell when I am being sarcastic.

ddm999 · 08-27-2013, 06:38 PM

The internet does things like that to you.

:P
