With some luck, RIP will be able to host more or less regular RealCTF events... at any rate, I will have my UBrowser peeking for the RIP server every Tuesday night now

Oh nice!
Once I get my comp with Unreal workin right I'll be lookin out for that server, definelty worth my time!

So whatever happened about this then? I have never seen any CTF events on unreal 1 (so my ctf map i made kinda went to waste) and should there ever be one, i would surely like to participate...

Yea that event went kinda RIP... no pun intended on the clan name but  ???

I stick by my belief that the main problem is download size. this affects popularity of RCTF in 2 ways:

1. Players have to do alot of work for themselves, there are too many complications in simply downloading everything from the server. Players not only need a place to download absolutely everything they need in one go, but they also need an easy way to install all these things and get playing.

2. Players playing on servers are susceptible to constant lag due to downloaders. This makes playing much less fun.

So taking into account these two things, is it any wonder that no-one is really playing RCTF?

And i think the argument that people cannot find servers is no longer valid, because there is a server which is constantly in the 'populated servers' list due to the bots it has.

I can see 2 possible solutions:

1. A special download server should be set up, where players can download, before entering the main server.

2. A new version of RCTF is released, featuring the bare-bones structure of a CTF game and none of this fancy crap it features at present.

I think i mentioned #2 once before, and Wolf commented on it, but i can't remember what he said anymore. It was probably something like "busy" or "SP@M."
