Why do you still play ET

[Shagileo]

I remember many moons ago, the guys over at the SD forums were also saying ET was dead (that's already some steps further than 'slowly dieing' :p ). It's just amazing how it still gets updated and - despite everyting, like PB being a pain, ID being a pain ... etc - the community stands strong and reacts as a collective body.
How sites like SL and TB and many other community pages offered the players alternatives to keep on rocking the ET world.

That's just a small reaction to the 'slowly dieing' part (don't want to bash or it's nothing personal eh Mirqli, you know we love you)

However, I only play TJ the last couple of months. Pub games just don't do it for me anymore, I'm not sure why. I remember the great feeling I had to play with my good friends - 't was such a chill time, but my ET has been bugging me and it's discouraging to continuously look for a solution.
I've been playing it (quite intensely) since it came out, so maybe that's why I'm having an ET burnout perhaps :p

But I'll never stop playing this awesome game, even if it means I have to play alone !

Hah Yeah I get your point and I don't think it's dead yet either and won't be for few years atleast. What I mean it's leaning more and more to becoming inactive, all the PB stuff, master server stuff and the future of tzac is uncertain. But I agree, the communities are thriving and there isn't really many things that ID can take away from us anymore, it ain't dead yet!

Huh...... Im 1 of those guys visiting SD's forum, cant remember someone saying its actually dead there

To keep et beeing popular we need new blood to replace the guys leaving for 1 or another reason.

The lack of a masterlist is actually a good way of denying us that.

the average et player maybe know howto use tb, sl, gt or xfire to find a server or can remember an ip, but new ppl cant.

im not saying et is dead, but im saying that there has to be done somthing about it NOW.

If it continues like this it will die, slowly maybe, but still.

Just call me pessimistic, but right now i can see gametracker is having 812 servers in their list, its not that long since it was 1200.

I actually cant believe people just reacting with a headshake and say np.

ontopic.

I have played this game from release without any breaks, started as etpro player and scrimmed alot also lots of official wars in Clanbase regi.

Last 4 years only played for fun tho, still does it a few times every week.

and like all others its the people you have met and still have contact with that really keeps it interesting for me.

tried other games like bf, brink or cod, but never really got the same feeling.
