So I saw that Warsow was doing good in the polls like Trem. So I was like, wow that must also be a popular game, let me go check it out.
I installed it. Looked good so far. Then I did my config. OK, I was ready to play. When I brought up the server list NOT ONE PERSON WAS PLAYING. Did I miss something?
There are several factors involved. First, the ingame browser is half-broken in 0.12 version, and it only shows a small bunch of servers (there are 300 warsow servers). Anyway, Warsow is quite inactive lately, there was usually between 100 and 200 players a few weeks after the release, but when CPL anounced the return of Q3 this dropped a lot, and since then the numbers have been decreasing. There is still a lot of activity in the forums so I guess many people is just waiting for the next release (which is scheduled for today at night). I'd tell you to give it a try tomorrow, you'll find games for sure.
see Warsow servers listedAnyway, I'm not sure up to what point a Tremulous player will enjoy Warsow (it probably depends on what did you play before Trem), they are games with very different phylosophies.
BTW, I can't say I enjoyed this poll fight since I'm a Warsow coder who has been playing a lot of Trem recently. I don't like seeing players from one game calling names to the players of the other game. Doesn't matter much tho, since I never took the poll seriously
