In my opinion E+ is dying/dead because of no updates. 1.02b was the best version of E+ and 1.03 is the worst. Even the rail-switch bug was less annoying then current issues. To name a few: fucked up net code, switch times changed completely, too much spam (this connects to switch times, weapon balance is ok more or less), no real spawn protection.
Like Skull say in 1.02 you could play with 12 ppl on server and still feel comfortable, I bet with 14 you could do it too, now 10 ppl is max I guess.

All could be fixed in 1.04 but we don't know if it ever happen. Without regular updates every software and its community goes down.

Also ppl upgrading comps and trying new games, like CoD4 with which I got stuck lately, and see the bugs of E+ even bigger then they are.

Why so much polish players?
Cause when you launch Q3 in Poland and turn on in-game browser, first 20-30 servers you see are running E+. So you can say easily ~80% of polish quakers play E+. Also Q3 is 'low resource game' and easy to download, crack and get working.

Best line in this thread,i had to repeat it but still fact remains that handfull of really old players which was amongst the first in the mod left quickly...majority remained and then left after 1.03 was released which is really sad,like someone made that crap version intentionally to scare those nice guys and gals away.

Id really like to see Ogre in action,cant say i miss him cause i never met him,but from what i heard from ppl which knew him very well,like mr. No,he was the "best of the best"...better then hard and hq.

I am boored of this mod since a year now, same reason no updates, 1.04 should be a year ago and still nothing, also those fakenickers are annoying, I dunno who is who cuz they switch they names so fast, changing cdkeys and ip's =/

To stay this mod alive, we need new E+ version, some website or forums updates, maybe new main admin who will response faster : >
Also ppls like rena that maked rank stuff, website with stats was some hope, cuz after few cw's you was able to check nice stats where your clan stands, now is so arcade.

So we need fresh ppls that will made better clan ranking, will interest in making some interviews with famous players like rena do, someone who can make or update e+ spider, my proposition is smth like in QuakeLive beta now, main page with servers list, easy to use, easy to join, search top servers.

more and more ppl stop playing e+ due to reasons vanguard and camel just mentioned and due to some ppl that destroy the fun of this game with their bad behavior (actually you will find those everywhere, in every game).

soon or later everything comes to an end. thats the way it is.
