the importants info is :

The mass of people stayed in E+ or left complete hole Q3 .

if you compare the frequence of players on aim / beer with that on edawn servers , than the edawn server are completely empty hole time.

result : E+ stayed alive Edawn is dead , so no need to make yourself thoughts about it.

Edawn was started as a project seeing as no updates were coming our way, it's based on E+ but contains some differencies/changes. Their main selling point was obviously the updates, and what they saw as a largely better netcode.

However a new e+ beta was released even before edawn went public with their first release, and most people seemed to have stuck with e+. There are still some topics left about it so try a search.

^ what mircwar said. Except selling point was 90+ fixed bugs, new features like CPMA-style HUD control, and few scripts for demos and autoscreenshots.

The main guy (Cyrax) behind Edawn's many features actually wrote a few days ago on this forum that he wants to collaborate and help the e+ team based on ze fact edawn is populated mainly by sweet soul. After me and madbringer made a few points on Edawn forums bout why both should collaborate. New players do not care bout what postfix the excessive mod they are playing has.

if you compare the frequency to a popular game, you will be scared (UrT for example http://www.urtstats.org/index.php?mode=serverlist ). < That's a standalone q3 mod, there are many many more popular games i could mention too. If anyone cares, there is a link in my signature about the return of aNk and our stance on both excessive mods.

p.s. The biggest thing i missed from e+ was this smiley: :salute: and j
p.s.s. sig doesn't show so here is direct link:

#lesson1 - dont listen to killer.
#lesson2 - get the facts straight.

edawn is mostly populated by lems and mostly old players like trance foksie (the founder of edawn) faith and people who are mostly informing themself.

edawns main rising reason was the lack of updates of e+ and the administration of e+.
its features are regular updates including bug fixing (which is kind of unknown to easy, bugs started getting fixed after wasp.beast took over coding.) and new stuff, like superhud.
the main targets is to fix ALL bugs until version 1.0 and edawn doesnt need a dll to be run, since a dll can be any kind of code easy could put a virus for people who have edawn on their pc if he rly wants. (ridicolous though).

one more thing is that coders did offer help to easy but he kind of refused/ignored, there was no way to reach him for 3 years.

more facts are on excessivedawn.org
