Quake Live player FLeeck has created #quakelive.wars, an IRC channel for clans/teams looking to scrimmage against other clans/teams (also known as ‘wars’), regardless of the game-type or region. Instead of having millions of channels that serve same purpose, you connect the EU community and US through one channel where you can search out wars. A
As reported earlier this week, the Quake Live open beta is released today! The Quake Live closed beta website permanently shut down about 36 hours ago to prepare for the grand opening. All we could see these last few hours was a timer, slowly counting down to 0.
A lot of questions remained unanswered. The id software developers have done a great job teasing the community during the closed beta. Right before the site went offline, we were able to find a forum post by the developers, revealing very interesting information.
To all Quake Live rookies: grab your chance and start competing! The well known community Czech Quake will be hosting a Newbie 2 Lama Tournament.
This will be the ideal opportunity to learn the game and get to know the people in the community.

Two weeks ago we did a poll here where we asked about your Quake Live FOV. Nearly 400 people voted and the clear winner, with over 40% of the votes, was the 101 – 110 FOV setting.
Today we’re going to continue the trend of having a regular poll. This time we’re curious enough to ask you all how much time you spend every week playing Quake Live.
You can very easily check your play time for the last 7 days in the leaderboards by using the customize option.

It’s been nearly 1,5 years since the Quake Live project was announced during the 2007 Quakecon event, and a lot has happened since that day.
The name Quake Zero changed to Quake Live due to a domain squatter, a closed beta was launched and a Quake Live tournament was held at Quakecon in 2008.
Today however it seems like Quake Live has reached a new milestone in it’s development.
Some of you may have read in the most recent news update that Quake Live is now using Twitter.
Wait… what? You can’t say that! You’re breaking the beta Non Disclosure Agreement!
Well, not exactly. Twitter is a public feed. Just do a little search in Google for “Quake Live Twitter” and you’ll see that these updates are not private and they are there for everyone to follow.
Ok then. But what exactly is this “Twitter” You’re talking about?
Twitter has been the internet hype of 2008. The Twitter system is similar to “Facebook updates”, and to be honest, that’s really the only thing twitter does: keep people updated about random activities in a short sentence of maximum 180 characters.
