You are not mistaken. Currently we've only allocated 80 QuakeWorld places. This may change once we have a better idea of numbers for each section.

Lo Wiz m8. Ermm, think back to the last one, and the 80 odd ppl who went, and the extra people who wanted to, but couldn't.

This one has better publicity, looks to be organised a whole lot better and has all the added bonus of people from the last one reccomending it, which carries more weight than most other forms of publicity.

I hope you reserve a few more than 80 places as Section Se7en alone are hoping to bring 15 participants.

Russdy - It would be great to have more than 80 in Quakeworld, but this event is for everyone and the limit has to be set. However, we are bound to allocate more numbers, and we may be able to push it to 300 if Multiplay feel happy. We'll wait and see.

Good Good, just checking.

From the vibe about it in the QW community, I get a feeling ALOT of people will be wanting to go, especially after the first one was made a success by a whole contingent of QW players.

anyway, I hope it is a great success and that enough places are available. I have signed up and sent off my cash already to make sure.... I have a feeling....

I've just been dragged out of our server room after being caught carefully unscrewing our £90k Cisco Catalyst 5500 switch from the racking while muttering "need more capacity.....insomnia...need more...." http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

hehe, well we've accounted for 300 connections so far and the signups as of 02:00 this morning were:

75 Quake World
20 Quake II
2 Other

So if things stay this way there'll be many more places allocated to QW.

Gadg m8 stop being so funny. I'm browsing this when I'm not supposed to be, and my bouts of giggles (mainly down to your post, and a pre-session smoke) are getting me heard too much for my liking.

Oh, and Wizzo m8, you should know something. Those figures are the way they are because :

QW and QW'ers rock.
Q2 sucks ass http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

and the rest, well............

I'm worried now that not enough ppl are going to make it interesting for games other than Quake. What about Q2 mods for example, there are just not going to be enough. It's no ones fault just unfortunate.

Don't worry about it m8 - tho I'm down as a QW player, I'm going to be looking for some serious AQ2 action over the weekend http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif

Erm, will there be some sort of Poker thing going on with *cough* real money?

Frankly, 36 hours of poker with the odd game of footie is getting me more excited than QW

Wizz, you say you had 75 people signed up for QW at 2.00am...

How long has this been up, 24/48 hrs?

Mate, I think you might want to double the QW player slots....

Streaky - we would love to but everyone has to have a fair shot and the place has to have balance. This is not just a Q1/Q2 party.I for one prefer strategy.

I'm fully in favour of tossing, too, Luc. (Sorry, I just HAD to make a really bad joke about SOMETHING http://www.wireplay.co.uk/ubb/smile.gif)
