just for your information, most rest of quakers think low about any instagib/spam based mod which most "fun" mods are.

If you want to gain attention make a cup with osp alike gamestyle. sooner or later that has to draw attention.

Thats actually wrong, soft air. a lot of q3

players know about the mod, but they don't know the whole story

They just hear "exce...fullstop" and assiciate "excessive = spam". They

don't know the difference between e+ and excessive. What u need to try is, to

make people know, that e+ can be actually nearly anything you want it be. Many

many mods can be rebuild with e+. Even if it wouldn't be 100 % the same, you can

try to catch cpm/osp players with a nicemade cpm/osp alike config, actually you

could theoretically push the whole noghost scene from noghost 1.16 to e+ 1.32,

but i am afraid that they are afraid to get catched for cheating which is imo

the main-reason why they didn't gave e+ a chance.

Actually it would be pretty easy to attract new players with busy servers

with the relevant configs, when the ip-script for servers would still work, but

id fixed that exploit, which means, it is hard to make a server

busy.

Make a comparison between e+ and quake live, ql has many more players then e+, then q3, and then every others mod for q3. Q3 is old and no one will reinstall it to play q3(cause will be easier to play ql), but this cause they don't know about this mod, if u want new people here you have to let them know that this mod exist, you have to ADVERTISE like ql did in past very well, you have to improve the site and the feature for the mod. Look their site, their stats, all looks better, but e+ is the real game! I know that many would prefere E+!

I agree, but how can you advertise e+ as much as ql is when they invest lots of money for that purpose alone in ql?
you make it sound like they started from same conditions and abilities as e+ did, but they have put big money into the product (QL) so that they get it back multiplied in future... it's marketing... you can't compare e+ with ql in that way (actually in any way)... if e+ staff (??) had that much money to hire developers and web designers, this site/game/everything would look just as good as ql looks now, and probably have as many players no matter how bad/noob/spam mod some people claim it is

as monk said before someone (people in charge? hmm) needs to hire a developer to create a standalone game (cause people are lazy to install q3, then this, then that)...not to mention I see many possible problems around that whole process too...ID would probably make restrictions on that game (mod) based on their game... those restrictions and financing are (I think) the main reason that isn't done yet, it's not like people haven't thought of this before.
best thing you can do for now is what anubis does - advertise e+ in best possible way in moddb,,,
