Hello!
I have been also playing the Overkill server where I discovered with great pleasure tZork's mod after my second try at Xonotic. And I say second because first try was a discouraging one, were the only taste I got of the game was seer boredom . Even now Nexuiz is by far more fun and speedy , a join in, and imediately have a fast and fun game opposed to Xonotic standard, where I feel glued, moving like a turtle and spending too much time trying to have fun, rather than actually having fun. The physics , the moving , the weapons everything just isn't. Not to say a lot of no's and don'ts that took out the fun from many things.
Then after a lot of months I discovered Overkill mod and immediately became my favorite. It had all I wanted and I said "wow, this is it. I like it !!!" This can draw me from Nexuiz. And it did . Judging by the popularity of the server it appealed to many others as well. Lastly we started seeing players from Nexuiz coming in.
A great sign I would say for the future of the game. But not for all as I discover with great disappointment.
Before getting carried away and letting a justified frustration find it's way into words, and occupy lots and lots of valuable space , I restrain myself and say only one thing more:
"Free and open source game" . I point only to the first word and say "Free" shouldn’t be regarded as "I got it free and didn't pay for it".Free should be regarded as freedom of choice ! That is my understanding of it.
Until whoever is responsible opens his\her\their mind , I guess back it's back to Nexuiz 4 me ....
Cheers
