Have you ever dreamt of having an IRC channel on Quakenet for everything related with our beloved game - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory? We were always wondering why channel like this has never existed...
Almost every ET-Player uses IRC or has used it, or leave their offline BNC there till the next time they return. Most of us have our favorite channels that we join each time we connect to QuakeNet, but has there ever been this one channel to unite the community? That focus everyone in one place! Active players, members of the community no longer playing, moviemakers, simple Crossfire/GamesTV users, Public scene from all mods and so on.
We all usually create our teams' IRC channels with ".et" at the end. So why shouldn't we have a main channel for W:ET, welcoming all in our community?
What could be the benefits of joining this channel?
Also we want to highlight right now, that we will not try to replace any of #XonX.et channels, because they will always be the main channels for Enemy Territory, especially #6on6.et as it's the main format of this game.
It is not our intention to replace them with one channel (like few guys have already tried), our main goal with this channel is to focus whole community in one place. It might be a great idea, especially now when the community is smaller than ever.
We are also planning to release a new version of ET Pack 2013 and it should be available soon.
The main admins of this channel so far will be:

What could be the benefits of joining this channel?
- The entire ET community would be in one place.
- If you have an issue to some player, you don't need to struggle with finding him over IRC anymore because you can easily find him on this channel.
- You are new in Enemy Territory world and need some tips from other more experienced players? Don't hesitate and just ask!
- You need piece of advice about Enemy Territory? For example about running a clan, a tournament or just need some tips about ET gameplay? You can just ask for a help on a main channel.
- You are struggling with some problem concerning installation of ET or some cfg problems or whatever? You can just ask now.
- You are in a middle of the game and you need a merc because somebody had to leave? It's no problem now because you have everyone in one place and you can just ask for a merc on a main channel.
- We’re going to host some sort of cups (ODC in both 3v3/6v6, longer cups etc)
We could go on and on for hours as these are just few examples of the benefit of this channel, because we think we can add anything related to ET to that list!

[23:38:44] <@YCN`Marcus> PDEG|stRay, WHY?
[23:38:50] <@lewcins> no PDEG|stRay, you cannot
[23:39:12] * PDEG|stRay ([email protected]) has left #et
best of luck
haha, this one perfectly describes the essence of ET scene
=
"robert"
hahahaaha
nice try
why not goku as admin??
e: - pm Gamer Magazines to add W:ET as a free game (your 2013 install file). Some years ago .hu GS asked me to host tournaments, my goal was to make this happen, but it didnt happen since all of us (cs,cod,et,fifa,etc admins) quitted the project. (yes, i ve been hosting hungarian tournaments like random 6on6 cups, allstar/regional cup...)
and write some fucking topics on big sites like SK, and not only gaming sites. This could be a good job for shoutcaster (i mean for people who can write/talk exciting/interesting, not just basic game introduction shit that nobody will read..) Including fragmovies and pictures about sexy schnee, and if i remember well lady was hot also. :)
our beloved exies in the legion (Winghaven, RELOAd, etc) should represent ET aswell. Tho all the nerds will say stfu cheaters :)
Thats nice you have dedicated admins, but you won't be able to make "quality tournaments" without "quality teams" and players. No doubt in admins, but in the community... GL'S!!!
Always first.
Best of luck mate!
also our comunity its a mostly grup of haters ( u know what i mean)
bad mood wont help in anything ..
but rly I appreciate your efforts ..
I can safely say that you were one of those people who really wanted to do sth, change, tryed to wake up ppl.
Are you high?
This is fucking useless
Who the fuck is going to answer this?
-ask question and get shitloads of flame as answer
Kun je die contacten brengt dat ET wel weer tot leven
btw I have seen this banner in 2006 without this avesome logo ET 8D
maybe do something new instand being in the same shit, tbh players from jaymods dont know what IRC is.
ANYWAY GL :XD
#crossfire
#gamestv.org
#ycn-hosting
#clanbase.et
#esl.et
and wherever else. I don't know about the other admins but I just hope for a closer community in order to maintain what is already here, then to build up on whatever we can (rather than things continuing to drop). #rtcw.wars is a good example of a close community. they have a max of like 100 or so active players but they have activity levels competing quite close to ET these days.. :z in no way will #et take the place of existing channels (those mentioned above + warchannels) but in the near future I'm sure it will serve a purpose for the community :)
but I agree some more admins/representatives could be good for things
nah, thanks for spotting, still a bit asleep. now stop licking asses
You need piece of advice about Enemy Territory? For example about running a clan, a tournament or just need some tips about ET gameplay? You can just ask for a help on a main channel
he will be kicked from any pracc and as a result of this retardness he will quit et because of 2 big tzac id.
Jaymod/NQ or occasional ETPro players dont use mIRC and go there through normal site..
inb4 every try to troll or starting the flame should be punished with the retards like unforgiven..
i startet from ETpub..
i couldn't find any Game which was not bullshit in my eyes..
if u want people to use irc create a downloadable IRC client with default channels in it
a teamspeak/vent channel is fucking far more productive
NOT WITH FILOSOFY THE CURRENT ONES HAVE
where u only give channels/attention to known people aka ur buddies, that obviously fucks the newcomers
In what way is that more productive? I doubt that you're 24/7 online on ts with your earphones/headphones w/e, without doing other stuff (watching movies, series etc.).
I just don't get this comment.
You're wrong. There's a lot of etplayer that don't know anything about irc or etpro. I think of all those casual players on 2.55, jaymod, etpub or nitmod.
Your project look like a desperate attempt to wake up the community but i think it's aleady too late.
Maybe you should try to contact admins from 2.55 or jaymod community and tell them about your project so they can spread the message (but i'm not sure it's in their interest :D)
Anyway as every initiative is welcome i'll join your channel and i wish you will keep doing things for the few players left :D
except the 2.55 stuff (new ET download is .6b, no patch needed).
As I know for example best noquarter servers are already dead since 2 years I think the same is with other mods.
Admins changed servers to COD2/4 because lack of players.
channel won't work anyways
up for it?
hope the channel dies bb
the only mention of an ETPack is this comment, quite clear at that: "We are also planning to release a new version of ET Pack 2013 and it should be available soon."
No fresh blood in our (etpro) community for a long time. But before was easier to keep some amount of players to play still when game wasn't so dead. Now its harder because amount of player is a lot less and other guys looking at this situation quiting also (why to play if there is no opo to play).
Just change smth? Game is same for years, nothing change. All the time same maps, same shit flame, same other things. There was so many journals back in time about how to keep et alive, how to bring new player to game. So many opinions from top pr0 players and n00bs also. And what? Nothing at all. TZ-AC help a little with competitions.
Maybe not so many journals but few big enough to use some ideas inside them.
Next step in the process of reviving ET: get new MGC's to give every etplayer a free puppy with their name (the mgc's name) tattooed on it for more advertisement
LETS GOO ET ALIVE IS !!
ps. i really hope the community will give this idea a shot... i tried this a couple of times in the past, but nobody ever supported me :( i hope the community has grown up since then (you can read my newsposts down below)
