I've installed recently and haven't played a quake-based game before, not used to something this fast, but i definitely hit a very large learning curve by watching various frag movies, speccing good players and simply DMing. I just want a team to play with and get better. You can find me on IRC in #qwrookie as dys, pm me.

Best way to learn is to just get in the game. Join a server and have fun. If you don't like the server, join another.

If you find a team to play with, or maybe we can found one, Im also interested
I played a lot Quake when I was like 7 years old and now I've begun again.

Lads when NQR starts again in January. There will hopefully be a Rookie Division again. At the moment there is a little bit of inactivity but that will pick up again in the new year so be patient.
At that stage there will be clans getting organized and looking for players.

There are currently 7 rookie clans in EQL which were made up of players from all over looking to start playing etc.
So have a look here http://www.eql.nu/division.php?id=6
and check out each clans IRC channel and ask them if they will need new players.

Also lads for starters join #mofo (Mob of oddballs IRC channel)
That is our clan channel and we will start back playing practice matches in the new year and play nightly.
If you are there then you can join in a play some with us when we can only get 3.
After a while you will pick up a team to play with and get good practice in as well.
