I might be late with my opinion in this case but Ill tell you anyway about this. (Even if Im quite seldom online and seldom write here in forums)
Sometimes, when I spend some of my little free time on playing some other games just like quake live or warsow, I meet with people who ask about other FPS or just talk about their experiences. Anyway, when I asked about xonotic, some of them just didnt know what I was talking about. On the other hand there were a few people who know about xonotic. But often I just heard something like "This game is boring, it isnt challenging" or "it doesnt offer the competitivness and the possibilities other games offer". (To conclude what they said, I cant remember the exact expressions)
I didnt think about any solutions concerning this problem yet, I couldnt even give those players a reason why to play xonotic, unfortunately.
Another thing which came to my mind was to put xonotic on some web e-sport pages. I dont talk only about magazines, I especially mean things like x-fire (I guess there was already someone who created a xonotic page there), steam (neither I use it nor I have an idea how to spread xonotic there), but in fact I mean the esl page.
When I look the games up(the FPS) which are supported there, I see Warsow, Sauerbraten etc (FOSS) but no xonotic. I mean that someone of the xonotic team/PR management could maybe arrange that xonotic is at least listed there so that interested gamers probably inform themselves!
Unfortunately I dont have time atm to express everything I would like to say about popularity of xonotic and its changes (feedback on 0.5). :/ Anyway I'll try to get my feedback and statements in here soon.
Cheers
