QuakeLive is basically dead due to id mismanagement (which QuakeLive is essentially Q3 + a CPMA-like mod), I switched to Nexuiz/Xonotic because QW died, and Q3's community is finally dying off.

There's Reflex, but that community never really seemed to form, and there's also the newly announced Quake Champions game that is basically a QuakeLive-esque game via Doom 4's multiplayer engine (whereas Doom 4's multiplayer gameplay as-is is a lot like classic Doom/Doom 2 multiplayer).

I'm looking forward to Quake Champions, but I'm afraid all the younger kids are going to bring too much salt to make it worth investing time into.



QW and QL are livelier than you seem to think.

God, I hope it's not actually through Doom 4's MP engine: Doom 4 MP was pretty bad.

And there are other small scenes scattered here and there: Robot Roller-Derby Disco Dodgeball, Quake 2, Sauerbraten, Warsow, and so on.

Seriously, have you tried Warsow? That might be your sort of thing.
