Ok, here we go again. Last time I did this, *I* chose a future date hoping ppl would show up, to kinda re-invigorate the server. 5 ppl showed up at peak including me. This was with 3 weeks advance notice. This time, lets discuss this here and agree on a future date to show up. I won't be able to join on a Sun or Mon, as always. I think we'll need enough time for ppl to see this thread and participate, so nothing super soon. I will let anyone I know, on any server, know to check this thread out, and let them know we're trying to make something happen. You all need to do the same in private message. This wont happen otherwise. I would also be open to checking our server at a set time if you all want to agree to show up, say on Saturdays at whatever time. We can grow that out later. Miss you guys, see many of you a lot, but not in this server. I'm open to any suggestions, but I don't know what else to do Regardless, hope all's well. I'll check QAW at 1pm Pacific sharp on any day I'm able -- especially Saturdays. Cya here..

Football season here so Saturday's are pretty busy for me. I am playing most nights and start by checking QAW. I end up playing on OF with 3-4 others old QAW regulars. Evenings from 8-10PM on weeknights and Sundays will be best for me.

It'll pretty much be saturdays and maybe sundays for me due to working long hours during the week. Gotta make that bread!

I check in a few times a week afternoons early evenings.
You guys are in the same exact situation I as server guru on Judge et server, along with some 3 others where we would for several months go play and get 2 on 2's at best for 1-2 maps got old then we would go to QAW. Now you guys are having people go directly to old farts, etc. and not trying QAW. Ultimately as you've seen me post before after many changes, maps, etc. We saw the light as we didn't have members playing and pulled the plug on the server that was up for something like 8+ years I'm guessing.
Here's the deal, the server population doesn't auto fill, it needs people to go there, play awhile and have others start coming in. Don't rely on the same people trying to get it going, aka me, spaceage or so.
All make a commitment. So if your going to play, go to QAW server first for a map or two, again servers just don't automatically get full on their own!

I know i'll sound old but year(s) ago, i proposed we start a Discord because to me, it sounded like it would be the big thing in the future. Guess what? It's the big thing now. Most gamers are on discord, most game devs have communities on Discord.. it's THE BIG thing... if we made one when I suggested it, I bet most of us would still be in touch on a more daily or weekly basis to play games. Even though it would not be ET, at least we would still be the amazing QAW community! It's sad to see it's dead now It was probably the place I met the most fantastic people on the Internet in the past 22 years (when I started to play on dial up connection lol). So i'll suggest it again: Why not starting a QAW server on Discord? So we could start to chat all together more often and maybe get back in team to play at least other games? And then maybe we would be motivated to organise some ET party like good ol'days! Honestly, anyone who wants to join me, my discord: Cmdo.Delta#0568

That's why I think we need to join the server at 3pm Pacific SHARP (or whatever time, just an example), so we can all have an expectation that some other player(s) will be there. By virtue of how my .exe is set-up, I always join QAW first and it's always just 2 well-motivated bots. I WILL check the server tmrw at 3pm Pacific sharp, and Saturday at 1 and 3

I'd probably talk on a mic as much as I do in teamchat (exciting!). Might be fun tho if we can rebuild the populace a bit.

Well discord still have a kind of forum too. But the best thing with this is that you can connect to any amount of communities you want, have your friends there aswell.. everything having both voice or text chat. I'm on this every day or almost. And pretty much everyone seriously into gaming probably is too lol.
I don't know it's a suggestion but yes i don't tend to come often of forums using a browser anymore. I don't know about what the others do though.

I do the same, check for QAW and then play on OF. Mostly I play before work (11-2pm USCT) or after work (12am-2am if anyone is still around ) and then on Saturdays if I'm not otherwise indisposed. I'm open to hopping on a discord server, I use discord for a lot of other things as well, it works well.

If others just happen to remember QAW exists once in awhile, they could come here, see this and join us. Maybe very very slowly we could gather everyone back together on discord. We could also find other games to play. Don't tell me all of you stopped paying there internet bill the moment W:ET was looking almost dead lol. I'm sure all you bitches still play some other game whatever the one it is. you can't escape your pie faith hoff, don't bother trying xD

Oh and if QAW servers are too empty anymore, and if then people play somewhere else (which is sad but well, we all need a target to shoot at i guess) then why not choosing 1-2 servers that are still filling up pretty well and when we play, we play here? Just to increase chances to play together?! Idk i didn't played in awhile but i guess FA or whatever the name is still here?

OF is fun but its not QAW. Pimp - Is there any way to send out an email blast to try and get people on the server versus the forums? I check email multiple times daily but don't visit the forums too often. Maybe sending out an email blast and then following up again the day before a proposed game meetup would bring people to the server?

I'm pretty sure there is a mail sending feature. But we need someone high ranked enough. Maybe i can still get in touch with Scout! Anyone still having contact with Amy or Zo or Patty?! I chatted with Amy on battle net while trying Destiny 2 but it was a long time ago and she never showed up on bnet again since that day and no replying to forum message

Hi guys!
I don't know the background of this situation, and probbaly I'm missing a lot of things....but I just want to say:
Can't we organize a day and a time to join in a significant number, and just play some games? Probably from there we'll start to play more often.
We could organize it on 1 week or even 1 month for now.
We can start by deciding the day of the week. For example is SATURDAY OR SUNDAY good for you? (I suppose it's better since usually they are the day off from work).

Saw pimp and McB online last night and learned about Discord. So I installed it. Thus far, the discord 'friend search' feature has has niot been useful for me. Came here and found Mac's name, so i have one gaming friend at this moment. Add me {JunK}VMax#4988. Let's get together this weekend and sling some bullets.
