I am a Quake Live player. I've been watching videos of QuakeWorld duels and it looks like the most skilled FPS created. I'm downloading it and going to give it a try.

Welcome to the community. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! As always, you might want to pop into #qwrookie @ QuakeNet and join in with fellow rookies.

welcome!

welcome, where are you from etc..?

I'm from Dallas, Texas. I want to get into competitive dueling for this game. Is the population of QuakeWorld large enough to be worth switching from QL to it?

#telefrag.me and #na.qw.pickup on irc.quakenet.org. That's where all of the american quakeworlders hang out and start games.

Right now our scene in North America is pretty small but the gameplay for quakeworld is too much fun to pass up. There is a project in the works for a competitive ranking system that would be worth sticking around for that may reignite the scene in NA. I would say definitely give QuakeWorld a shot if you want the most expressive / free movement you can find. Or if you like launching water balloon rockets go back to quake live. :-)

Oh nice. I guess I'll switch to QuakeWorld.

Can you give me more info on the ranking system to be added?

It's still in development. I'm not sure when it will be completed but we're working on it daily.

Looks like it will be pretty nice.

Hi byte and welcome to qw... Im glad that your interested in playing. especially in NA.. Fenris is correct our scene is a bit thin but we all enjoy playing... One thing that I can offer is help,, best way to to get in and start playing is with a person or persons that will treat ya nice and and help ya past learning curves.. One thing I know is that ive been playing for a long time and I still learn stuff here and there.. It will be tough and you will lose "ALOT" unless your just a natural.. dont get discouraged just keep aiming and learn from your mistakes... Get headphones if you dont have em and ask people you play about video and cfg settings and such.. their is plenty of help out their. Im in a NA clan called DG im on irc in channel #doppelganger also likes fenris said we hang out in #telefrag.me

my name is Orex or if you see me playing dg.wreckz ill be more then happy to help ya with stuff

"our scene is a bit thin"?

LOL. C'mon, quit misleading the guy.

I think he means the North American scene, which is true. The entire Quakeworld scene, which is mostly European, I wouldn't consider thin.

I think shithead meant is there even scene in America? Especially any duelscene :l

yep our NA scene is a bit thin the euro scene is abundant... which is why im glad hes NA

You can do what squeeze does, play vs europeans

Thanks for the help. I am fine with losing multiple times in a row, when I Duel in Quake Live I play in red servers the entire day. Do you have Skype or MSN?

I plan on quitting Quake Live by Valentine's day, after I make my frag video.

Ill think about it when i reach squeezes level,, here in a year or so we might have to play at 160+ ping just to get a game they made antilag now the just need to make anti ping things would be all great.. no no skype or msn just good ole quakenet im hardly on mabey 2 3 times a week mostly on sundays or mondays like today.. but those channels i listed have peeps in them or you can just refresh the qw browser if you seen no games pretty much noones playing you can also check qtv to see whats up.. http://qtv.quakeworld.nu/
