Things have seemed to stall a bit with the league so we a making a small request to teams regarding scheduling.

A show under Swedish Radio called P3 Spel (P3 Games) has recently interviewed [9]Nikodemus among others in a blast to the past that is the beginning of E-sports and the Clan 9 vs Deathrow showdown in Stockholm. It's 15 minutes (unfortunately in Swedish but with some English interview snippets with the Planetquake guy) that shares a few nuggets of Quake history.

P3 Spel - The birth of international e-sports

The server package nQuakesv, consisting of convenient installation scripts for the de-facto standard combination of MVDSV + KTX on the server side, has received a few bug fixes and minor enhancements for its Linux flavor.

With the successful Get2Gether 2on2 tournament coming into its final stages, attention now turns to what will be next on the Quakeworld competitive calendar. So after a fair amount of rumor and discussion we are proud to announce the QW 2018 Team League, a new 4on4 tournament focused on providing fast and furious clan based action for all players across the skill range of Quakeworld. Be prepared to see the stalwarts of the 4on4 scene rub shoulders with enthusiastic new upstarts and possibly the return of an old legend or two ;-)

classicQ v1.1 has been released. It now contains the latest Fodquake client and also some minor tweaks. For those unfamiliar with this project - it's kind of nQuake with Fodquake, but with old school visuals of the original QuakeWorld.

We're currently doing maintenance on quakeworld.nu servers which may cause some sites (including sub-sites) to be unreachable from time to time. We're working on fixing this as soon as possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience, hopefully when everything is back online we'll have a much better infrastructure to build on for the future.

Tournament admin Beginner is starting off the QuakeWorld year by drafting up plans for a new QuakeWorld 2on2 tournament under the name Get2Gether. The suggestion is a skill based 2on2 tournament with a classic map pool consisting of DM2, DM4, DM6 Aerowalk and ZTNDM3. Read on for more detailed information from the tournament admins regarding the proposed tournament.

Seeing how there have been a few new players dipping their toes in the deep end of QuakeWorld that is 4on4 team deathmatch a quickstart guide for other potential players wanting to do the same has been compiled. This piece is not a guide on how to play 4on4, rather a guide on how to start a 4on4 match and a quick mention on some common concepts relating to it.

Tonight the nQuake package has been updated with a couple of changes:

• Set the default ruleset to "Thunderdome" as that's the main tournament around these days.
• Fixed a configuration issue that lead to the nQuake HUD and rest of the configuration not getting executed on Linux under certain circumstances due to conflicting autoexec.cfg files. The nQuake HUD shall look like this sample screenshot and nothing else also on Linux now. (thanks to iBurley for reporting this)

Bps has started a survey to get a feel for the most optimal date, among a few different alternatives, for the next edition of QHLAN in 2018. This time it looks like the famous QW gathering will be a non-BYOC LAN hosted at the Interno Online gaming center in central Stockholm, Sweden.
