QuakeIII trial demo from 1999 questions

Post by **sir_frags** » Wed Jan 17, 2007 3:00 am

1) Are people still playing the full version of this game regularly or is it dead?

2) Should I still be able to use the 1999 demo to create and connect to servers?

3) Anyone still playing demo version?

Hello everyone. I am just shocked to awe that people are still posting about this old game. I had the old demo from 1999 and just installed it for the heck of it. I actually liked it and had lots of fun with the bots. This is the demo version not the full version.

I try to join server and even create a server but I get that infamous cant connect to master server message. Just dloaded xfire and have that set up so I can use their game browser. But I really would like to play online some before I decide whether to order the full version. I already have enough dead games.

So if you could help out with the questions above...thank you much.

Geez dude you were here in 2001 and are still here posting? wow....

I dont owe id nothing yet

Ive never play a quake game before tonight.....

this forum is helping me immensely. already got a server cfg and an autoexec cfg and ports forwarded in router all because of reading this great forum.

But I have too many dead games already man. I cant buy any more dead ones which is why I want to try to get online in the multiplay first.

Dead games so far: pariah, starship troopers, serious sam, painkiller, gunman chronicles, ut2003, doom 3...all legit copies too

cya later.

honestly there aren't many people playing anymore... compared to "the old days" at least. seems like fps in general are pretty dead. everyone's on WoW or screwing around with consoles last time i checked. or poker.

Ok i got the demo working with xfire so i could check out the game list of quake 3. the demo wont work or let me start a server that connects to master game server, but with tricking xfire into thinking the demo was the full version I could see about 75-80 players on tonight. That would be enough for me to buy the full version. Its a weeknight, but still even 75 players would mean the game's not totally dead. For 7 years old game, that decent.

yep, there's still some around here from '99. if/when i hop online with Q3 there's always a game to be had whether it's CTF/FFA/1v1. go get it.
