Calling All Quakers!

Client doesnt matter in a connection sense but there are preferred clients (ask someone that knows more about that). To connect just open console and type

connect server.address.com:portnum

use the first address in WickedLord's signature without the last CAX part. If you need a better ping simply move to Texas. Maybe WL would even let you stay with him if you promise to play Quake MP everyday. Actually I know he'd let you. You don't even have to ask, just show up kids, dog and all. He has this awesome gravel driveway you can do doughnuts in too.



lmao

ROFL. Nice. I have a 105mbps/20mbps connection if that helps. Got plenty of bandwidth for all. ;] Keep in mind i do need someone to clean my house and watch my dog's while i am gone 10 days on the road. I do however come home 4 days every 10 so we can quake it up! lol

[wicked_lord]

Ok, I got some free time, being a noob, please tell me what client I need to run and how to join.

I'm in Australia so lag maybe an issue I guess.

Please?

You have choices here.
I personally use ProQuake 4.51 which can be found here >> http://quakeone.com/proquake/older_v...oquake_451.zip

Also you have Qrack which is listed below the server list on main page. DirectQ is also another good one. SEEK Mindf!3ldzX for help on anything related to DirectQ.

We will get you setup only for a small token (play quake). ;]
Any question's post here, send messages, or search the forums, we are always glad to help.

My wife and I clean together. I split the chores 50/50. I clean my laptop and play games while she cleans 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, all 3 bedroom's, and family room. Seem's fair enough in my opinion. OH! Did i mention, I DO ALL the outside work without help ;]

Where would be a good place to setup a server so that all of us can play on
a acceptable ping...
Newyork is good for USA/EU/BR/ , now we need to find a place to add Aussies from down under ;-)

I am ready to sponsor this!

Not sure where to look honestly for a good location. I would support this idea as well. Even if we could all play with 150 pings and make it even i am down!

are you e ??

[golden_boy]

Wouldn't Quakeworld largely solve the ping issue?

I use to play on dialup as many others did and with 250 ping sometimes i would still rather play NQ then QW any day of the week. I tried QW many times and its just NOT how quake was meant to be played.

oh, quakeworld will reduce your effective latency a bit. the problem is that it'll reduce everyone else's too!
a minimum level of latency will actually result in a fairer game.
which is why serious quakeworld players never play with a ping above 30!

more recently, quakeworld servers have gained a lag reconciliation (sv_antilag 2) feature that tries to counter the effects of latency. while this does potentially enable impossible shots, it will result in a fairer game without just forcing everyone to 300ms lag (also an option! QW is never short of options!).

but yes, people still dislike bunnyhopping (pm_bunnyspeedcap), but in quakeworld's defense, that only became reliable when people started using zquake-based servers. before then, bunnyhopping would randomly bug out and reduce your speeds instead.
yay bugs.

there's otherwise not that much difference (until you start using mods, anyway).
lets face it, the mod+engine is more often the deciding factor rather than the base protocol.

been playing forever with someone. they are good!

is there a quakeworld clan arena server?
