i waited in the queue when it was at like 30,000 last night. dl'd the plugin. Now when i try and do the placement mission it just says checking downloaded data and doesnt do anything. There's just like a grey play now button and a stuck load bar. I just downloaded warsow and played that instead lol

Right after posting that I went to quakelive.com and it worked like a charm. Never played quake before but pwned up on the bot. Went online played a duel and now its not working haha.. I love the concept and how much effort they put into a free game. Makes you wonder why they don't put half as much thought or effort into games you pay for.

You do realize Quake Live...is essentially a port of Quake 3, right?
And like that, he was gone.

When you say the numbers don't mean much... consider the launch of most betas compared to a stable group of one of the most active games, community-wise, during a hotspot concentration of gamers. It's not as significant as I try to make it sound, but it means a lot more than you might think.

Agreed.

Also, I don't know about you guys, but I didn't see that much advertising for it. The only place I saw anything about it, was on IGN and it was just a little feature in the PC gaming section on the day of 'release'. Having said that, I've never really played Quake games before and never really looked out for them, so that might explain why I might have missed a big TF2-esque ad campaign.

Haven't had the chance to play yet, seeing as my gaming rig ain't feeling too well. Guess I'll have to check if my old rig can run QL sometimes next week.

Did try to login though and all I can say is: OMGWTFBBQUEUE. I thought being number 200 in the queue on WoW was bad...

Damn, I hope they release it eventually, cuz this is unusual since Id supported mods a lot of times.
But I understand, it's a new programming language, supporting mods may appear difficult for javascript.

haha what? Quake Live runs on a modified Quake 3 engine. That's the plugin that you download to your computer before you can play. When iD says the game is "browser-based" they don't mean the game is entirely written in javascript (which would be ridiculous and nigh-impossible by the way), they mean that it launches FROM your browser. The website launches the actual game from your own hard drive, but keeps track of stats and all that. It's basically a front-end for the game.
