I can't remember properly why I stopped playing, I do remember though, things got a little boring with people only ever wanting to play on dm17 or freeze.I got heavily into TF2, did a bit of comp, gained a few medals from UGC and ETF2L leagues, have about 5,000 hrs on that, but that has also evolved into people wanting to play the same maps over and over, so on a break from that now.
I think I'm getting to old to be bothered with it all anymore, I'm 52 next month and have been gaming since I was a kid, for 40+ years I played arcades, atari, vectrex, zx81, commodore, spectrum, Nintendo, snes, game cube, playstation, xbox, sega, omega, game gear, psp, gameboy, but nothing will ever be as fun and exciting as Q3 E+ was back in the day.

hell yeah. we had a great community here. But how you wrote, the game became boring after some time (years). Its hard to play still the same maps and gametypes for a lot of years. And its probably the true reason, why e+ died. People just needed the change. Someone felt too old for playing games, someone tried something different, someone found better hobby. But we all simply needed the change.

100% solidarity with my bro paradise.

How I loved those times when we gathered on the server for 15-20 people, joined teamspeak and trained new maps in CTF. I spent hours and days to study each map and find any notch on the wall to make a cool move. It was also funny when other players came to our server to watch how we (ctf offensive) learn the map and we always stopped doing this and drove everyone away

Community just die and e+ too.
