Hi all!
Imagine you are a simple player who just googled free arena shooter or saw somewhere "Xonotic" and decided to install and run it. Usualy you are linux user and install games from linux repo/steam. What will you see in game? Just servers with people jumping around and shooting. Nothing about friendly community, discord servers, map making... Even nothing about duel and defrag tournaments!
Many online players are social persons who wants to not only play games but talk about it. I think we need to provide links to messangers and web pages for players to introduce them to activities around Xonotic and possibilities to talk about it. It can be helpful for keeping audience in game that requires high skill due to its genre. Just write additional info in MOTD and sv_hook_gamestart_all.
Yes it's requires more effort in server maintainance but let's make cool community-like servers with a lot of happy players!
