The year is 2014, but QL is a 1993 (Q3) game in terms of infrastructure.

It has a habit of not showing all available games, as I often see friends playing on servers that I can't see myself. Other than that, it does the trick really.

If Quakelive was as hard to get running as games were in 1993 I don't think I could handle it.
I think I probably still have a box of DOS boot disks at my mother's place.

ProT :

You have a full featured web browser inside the game to browse servers and still complain? I mean, they just screwed all Linux users to get you that wonderful feature.

To be fair they'd screw Linux users for less, and we know that severbrowser could and should be better.

Like all original Quake server browsers. It's a fundamental part of the tradition. ;)

The almighty all seeing eye was the tradition, which, as shitty as it was, it still was much better than QL's server browser.

I know someone who requested a refund from id for the remaining months on his pro account(he's a linux user). They refused, so he did a credit card chargeback.

He got banned.

I want a server browser while i'm already in a server, so I can just disconnect and connect to another server if no one is joining mine or something like that.
