Google thinks Tremulous is dead, Correct?

That data suggest 2 things

1.That people do not search the term "Tremulous" b/c they get the required info from Forums, and other sources
2.Or that the Polaks have really left "Tremulous" thus explaining all these new LPB's

Google only keeps track of how many players typed in "Tremulous", in no way does it show how many players were online in the past few weeks/months, or how many downloaded the client recently or represent any official information showing that Tremulous is 'dead'.

In other words, Google can suck my balls until it gets a "surprise".

However http://master.tremulous.net/stats/Master_Servers/master.tremulous.net-master_players.html and http://master.tremulous.net/stats/Master_Servers/master.tremulous.net-master_servers.html show that the number of servers has gone down, and the number of players has stayed about the same.
There are tons of empty servers, so who cares if a few have vanished?

I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

Thanks for an interesting topic. This actually tells me how flawed my perception of Tremulous popularity was. Yes, I'm from Czech Republic. Immediately after going standalone Tremulous got some pretty good reviews in some of biggest Czech internet gaming portals and also became extremely popular with local Linux community. I think it was in September 2006 when I came up with first Czech Tremulous fansite. We had a complete class / weapons / buildings description, short stories, reviews with players and guest book full of questions how to get that big robot :battlesuit:. It's still second in the google search here with something over 16K hits.

I hereby move that the rant taunt be changed to "G'day mate". In the voice of that guy from Crocodile Dundee.

New to Tremulous? Look up the Wraths Newbie Server in the in-game server list.

I played Trem in Australia for about a year and a half, we had 2 main servers (one was an early 1.2 dev version when that was released) running all the time that had players most of the hours of the day.. a handful of smaller ones, and an ISP (BigPond, iirc) let you "rent" a server for free, up to 3 hours, perfect for clan matches. We had enough good players that a couple of tournaments were ran. I'm in the USA now and gotta say I miss Aussie Trem.. seems like Trem games here consist of ATCS on repeat map rotation :(.. I hope with 1.2's release the game gets big again. Natural Selection 2 is in development.. while that might seem like "competition" if interest in that goes up we could post on their forums and say "hey, try Tremulous.."

Xeno! Come back to AussieTrem! Yes I know you will lag, but hey. Oh and go back to Ks. Australia sounds like it has a good community compared to the other places :S

We have one main server now, which has 3 child servers. Normal, Scrims and Mods. AussieAssault We have about 6 active mappers who are producing new ones a lot of the time. A great manager who keeps the servers QVM working etc. It is mad. So come back. Aussie 1.1 isn't dying.
