Quake3

Seems like the Demon Quake3 Servers have been shutdown for the last time.

This leaves almost no public UK Q3 servers left, the ones left are private rented as far as I am aware.

I guess this is probably the end of Q3 now. It's been a good 8 years and I expect now it'll be only the real hardcore still playing just like Q1 now.

Anyone else still playing?

Yep. I find to get the most out of the currently online servers I have to have two installations of Q3, one running 1.31 final and one running 1.32.

Yeah I've got this setup. I think the Demon servers orginally just stayed on 1.31 cos all the Punkbuster stuff and incompatibilities etc (a few years ago) 1.31 was nice and straightforward. All of the 1.32 serves I have played on have PB disabled now anyway.

The QW servers I have played on in the last couple of years have been loaded with pros. Just absolutely slaughtered.

UberNet.co.uk servers are still running. However you are running an old version of Quake 3 You should upgrade to the latest v1.32 version. That has way way way more servers and way way more people playing. Also google the Q3 'OSP' patch addon and theres even more people playing there...and since you've been playing for 8 years you must be quite a decent player, you should join a team and play in the Jolt Q3 CTF league here www.q3ctfl.jolt.co.uk, the new season starts next sunday

Theres still a community, its just that people have updated their installations (and servers) to the latest patch, whereas you are playing on an old version of Q3.

Yeah. I have 1.32 installed and I re downloaded osp the other day as well.

Actually used be in a couple of clans for a while (SeX, {xE}) . I'm no as good as I used to be - don't play it as much any more. I see signups have finished. I seriously thought Q3TDM leagues were finished did not realise Jolt was still running - Season 24
