I started up UT 1 after not touching it for years and looked at the servers and was surprised that there really still were last man standing games being played. LMS used to be my favorite game type when I played UT in the early 2000's and I'm glad I could enjoy that experience again.

So the game's still popular? I'm glad to see this. When UT was new, there were only a few good online shooters, so it was logical that it had a large amount of players. Now there's an abundance of these games which are just the same old thing with newer graphics but worse gameplay, and none of them seems to attract my attention as much as UT ever has done. UT has such a smooth gameplay, rarely recreated in modern games, due to wanting to achieve too much or something, I don't know.

Is UT an unbeatable cult classic, or are the people still playing on those LMS servers just some people who are like me who like older games more than newer ones?

Yeap. UT still lives :) Mostly because of the reason you stated here. I myself sometimes play it, but I miss VCTF too much so I prefer UT2004, though I come back for some Domination or Co-op :)

Yeah, UT is truly strong for those that have played the game before and always want to come back at it to see what kind of mods/mutators have been made over the years (curiosity). But, to my surprise, no other game can beat Counter-Strike which last month I played and saw that there are over 40,000 servers completely active for it and the player count goes over the thousands daily. Both games were released the same year from what I remember but its nice to see that UT players comeback to it.

Derd, I remember testing another version of Krogaar and I would like to know if it was finished so I can go play it :D. Also, if you'd like me to test your Godz version just PM me to let me know... I can't wait to play another one of your maps lol.

MH-Rules!!!

As for calling the game UT1: I don't mind really. You see, many people tend to become quite confused when you use the normal abbreviation "UT". They simply don't know which UT game you're referring to. UT1 gives them an unmistakable clue.

It should.

:p
