Hey, through a bunch of random searches, I've managed to find Tremulous, which sounded like a fun game. But while I download it, I've a few questions.
- Do people still play this, and could I get a rough estimate?
- Is the game still being updated?
- Are servers generally full or empty?
- Are there any tips or tricks a newbie should know?
Thanks for helping.

~3000 unique players per day, 150-200 online at any one time.
Still updated often, the latest GPP (beta) phase started just a couple of weeks ago, been years since a fill update was released though.
There are tons of empty servers that everyone ignores, still plenty with players. 1.1 servers (http://master.tremulous.net/list/index-numplayers-desc.html) gpp servers (http://master.tremulous.net/list2/index-numplayers-desc.html)
Lots and lots of tricks to know, skim the manual (http://tremulous.net/manual/) for an overview of classes/weapons, don't bother with building for a while, you'll pick it up soon enough.

- Sure they do, surprisingly more people play the older 1.1 version. IDK about statistics but...pretty active...maybe.
- A tough question, but generally it is. (yes yes, SOON)
- Depends on the servers, but around...IDK, 30-60 people everytime I checked.
- Plenty of them, forum search is your friend.
First see this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=14115.0), and some time later this (http://tremulous.net/forum/index.php?topic=13861.0).
Stay firm.

PROFIT!

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. I guess I assumed too much when I saw version 1.1 being 4 years old.
Thanks guys!

- Is the game still being updated?
It's a running joke that version 1.2 will be out next Thursday. They're mostly tweaking the balance and finding new sounds now, though, so that might be a bit truer now.
-
Yeah, they better release 1.2 on a thursday

Every time I have checked, 1.1 has 80-200 players on.

Welcome to the fold, young grasshoppah.
With that out of the way...
1.1 or die!
Just kidding. <3

Defiantly, anyone who can string words together is a sensible way is welcome here.

Indeed, Kiwi.

#1 tip: When alien, aim for the head.
#2 tip: Tag along with a teammate or a group of teammates if possible, you'll both live longer.
Here (https://sites.google.com/site/tremulousthestrategyguide/general-guide) is a much longer version of tips for GPP (or 1.2) you might find useful if you like reading up on things.
Also, getting custom binds help a fair bit by making evolving/buying weapons easier, but I'd only do that if you find you enjoy the game. The mercenaries guild had a good tutorial on this. I wonder where it went.
