Quake Live is a 'free-to-play' web browser-based FPS from id Software. It is based on the popular game Quake III Arena, and focuses solely on online multiplayer.
Quake Live Exits Beta; Subscription Options Announced
Quake 3 is basically free to anyone who wants it but the netcode is nowhere near as good as Quake Live's. These extra features aren't mandatory and if you want you can stick to Quake 3. They will continue to support QLive and it's great community. The fee is a small token for the amount of enjoyment many get from the game. If you like your shooters sluggish with 3 shot kills then maybe this isn't your game but if you want an Arena shooter Quake Live is one of the few shooters left out there that still has a strong community and that's good enough for most players ;)
So what I feared has happened, and all of the servers in my skill level that used to be populated are either empty or have half the players.
Super weak. This might kill this game for me.
I have absolutely no problem with the idea of paying for parts of this game, but I don't think premium maps is the way to go. Player bases in multiplayer-only games need to be maintained, not cut up. Stupid move on id's part.
" @bunnyboiler said:I know." Hey guys. I heard you want to pay $48 a year for Quake 3.except id doesn't have anything to do with Activision anymore. This is still a dick move, though. I'm not playing after this. Not like I was playing it anyway. "
