We are happy to announce a new version of MVDSV, 1.00!

We thought that it is time to make an official release, and drop the 0.xx versioning. We all have been using mvdsv since years, so it was worthy for a 1.xx version tag.

As the QuakeWorld community gears up for the third season of Qenya Wars, the tournament's bold move to incorporate Kenya maps has ignited a spectrum of reactions among players. Kenya maps, those not originally included in Quake's initial release, promise a refreshing divergence from the traditional map pool. To capture the essence of this shift and its impact on the community, we reached out to a diverse group of players, taking their insights on the addition of these maps to the competitive arena.

Responses varied from enthusiastic endorsements of the variety and fresh challenges presented by Kenya maps, to cautious optimism and outright reluctance. Veterans like Mushi and Timmi reflect on the fun and strategic diversity these maps bring, reminiscent of past successes and the potential for upset victories. Others, such as Flamer and Pattah, express straightforward enjoyment, highlighting the maps' ability to rejuvenate the game's competitive scene. Meanwhile, players like Reppie and Dirtbox offer a more reserved stance, signaling a preference for traditional play or outright skepticism towards the new additions.

Yet, with these varied perspectives, a common theme emerges: the quest for a competitive edge and the enjoyment of mastering new terrains. ParadokS and Razor touch on the crucial aspect of competitiveness, noting that the real fun begins when teams develop and employ advanced strategies, suggesting that a well-understood map pool can enhance the competitive experience. On the other hand, Max_Power and Gosciu point out the learning curve and the necessity of thoughtful map design to ensure enjoyment and fairness.

As Qenya Wars 3 unfolds, it's clear that the introduction of Kenya maps is more than just a twist in the tournament format—it's a moment for the QuakeWorld community to embrace change, challenge norms, and perhaps redefine what competitive play means in QuakeWorld.

The detailed insights from our interviews with the players will follow below
