For me the split came when ra3 started. I just couldn't get into it. I'm not
putting the mod or anyone down who played it, but it just wasnt mmy cup of
tea. I found a clan called Realm of Sovereignty {ROS} who are very much like
Agq2, Agqx used to be. Just some friends playing Quake and having fun. We
tried some compition but never did well. Alot of our member have gone to
other mods and games like q3ut, sof2 and others. very few play instagib
anymore. I guess i'm one of the last. Every now and then i see some old news
group peeps playing on servers, Slight, Grudge, Umgirl. The days at Pit's
were some of the best games i ever remembered, even with high pings on
dialup:)
Well if anyone want a server your all welcome to play on ours. its osp rail
only with votes enabled. right now its set for ctf but can be set to ffa to.
Give it a try at
