I was looking for servers on the server list with original maps that actually had people playing and not bots. Found QAW saw it was very popular with lots of people and the rest is history! I came because it was popular but stayed because most of the players are really cool and of course for the free Bacon!

I voted other too. This one day, I wanted to play Beach....Then hours and hours of playing on a fairly empty server to get players...Lots of tweaking settings...Man I am getting old...

It was an early evening, summer of 2005, as I stared at the vast expanse of the ocean. The atmosphere was tranquil except for the majestic sea gulls which kept pace with the lowering tide. I came prepared. To read, Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being. For snacks, some mashed bananas topped with bac0n bits. And to drink, a 6-pack of ice cold Coronas. It was to be the start of a perfect evening, when suddenly I was distraught as I realized that I had forgotten to bring limes for the coronas. Now, if I wasn't a stickler for convention, I would've simply let that pass and continued on the journey towards my personal nirvana. Instead, I decided to pack up my belongings and head home to my limes. Well, as soon as I got home, I logged on to my computer, found QAW, loved the server settings, fast recharge times, etc. and decided to join in on the frag fest. Awwwwww yeaaaaaaa!!! And I kept coming back to the server to continue to experience the comedic genius of DaPieceReaper. The End.

I pretty much did the same thing major glory did. My uncle showed me this game, so I tried a few servers, then found this one. Ever sense this has been the only server I play on. also use to play on this one called ReE, but then they disbanded. Only reason for that one is because I had 3 relatives who were clan members.

Well, we used to play CS 1.5 on clan here in Venezuela, when the CS fever got down, the clan was gone, and we started to play ET, some friends told me to me about a nice fast server of ET called QAW, i even remember the IP (69.65.45.58 / 59 for customs) in time i meet some great people. By that time i only knew only four words in English also i shared a lot of things of my life with all of u through this years I love to be a part of a great comunity/brotherhood like QAW is ;D P.S: for all those who r thinking that u made this server popular and blah blah....., QAW is what it is because of his peeps (Oficers, Members, Jr. Admins, Regs, and newcomers). If u dont like it, u can go somewhere else......

I only played ETmain for a while (I'm late with everything ;D ) And when those servers stopped I looked for alternatives. So I checked Splatter and looked where other players (I liked) where playing at.....so I ended up at QAW. Once I started here, I got Bac0n'ed and Maloned. !blame them

In the end of 2008, a short time I was played on the server 1337. Some of the players from QAW server appeared and wrote out the old IP address 69.65.45.58 ... that I wrote somewhere .. Soon after that the server is shut down in 1337 and ...... voala Ah, yes .. one of the first players with whom i have met on QAW was ..... Sloniu, so i thought ... what cheather... ;D ;D ;D

A few people on the #1 server kept talking about QAW server as the "Late Night" server so I followed them here...oddly I don't see many of them these days and their site is gone. Fun group of guys they were.

Was playing on another server (omg no , shame on me ) 2005 -2007 until it started to die out . I was starting to play here a little (under another name which shall remain undisclosed) . Then from Aug 07 to Mar 08 i wasn't playing at all (long story) .Mar 08 Started playing again with R3z on a pro server he always played on, until it died as well .He had been playing here for a little while and said it was a really good server , so i hopped on and the rest is history .With my experiences from other servers i can honestly say that this IS the best place to play ;D .

played the ET-beta test, Beach map for 2-3 years, in the DaDirtyDozen (DDzn) clan, at the Beotch.com server. We lost the server, so I tried ET. Did a Server-list. QAW came up with a full server and a 39ping. Joined it and haven't left. That would be over 5 yrs ago. time flies when you're havin' fun

I was introduced to QAW by a friend years ago by a friend that no longer plays ET. I seem to have memories of being kicked for Panzer suicide but not sure if it was on the original QAW server or not. I do remember how difficult it was to play on this server when I was new to ET as I was constantly owned and Pwned much like currently except I learned the way of the needle! ;D QAW server is like the friend who never gets married and never changes...

Well, I was sent to Mars on a mission to buy Orio cookies and while there ran into a little or rather large eyed resident who I observed playing a strange game on a type of moving screen. He showed me how use a wobbly mouse type thingy and from there I was transported into la la land and the world of Et via qaw. Yup that's how it happened and I sticken to my story.
