Popularity issue persisting after 0.5 release

Right there is the first challenge to drawing a crowd. Even people who practice constantly may not have the head or motor skills to compete with a lot of the people who have been around since Nex.

It appeals mostly to elite players (since most elite players have been around since Quake hit the streets), though you sure don't need to be elite to get into this game. If that were the case Quake III: Arena and Unreal Tournament wouldn't have been so popular ten years ago and neither would Quake Live right now. Also, Nexuiz is drastically different from Xonotic now thanks to the physics, Nexuiz physics are extremely hard to learn while I had almost no trouble picking Xonotic's up, hell I can play UT99 for weeks and come back to Xonotic without much issue whereas I'd have to practice like 4 or 5 hours if I wanted to get back into Nexuiz.
