Quake Live is basically Quake 3 Tournament and Arena, played for free through your browser.
Just been on it and it's really smooth and fast. I'm pretty sure the community will take to it, so it should be very popular.
Stability
Around midnight last night marked our first 24 hour period of good stability - during that 24 hours the service didn't go down, and we didn't need to take it down for one reason or another.
We've maintained a solid number of people on the site and the queue peak has been around 5,000 (about a 35 minute wait at our current rates) - and we've gone long periods without a queue during off peak hours.
This stability was our first priority because when the site is offline, the people back-up in the queue and you see the very high queue numbers.
With this being the first weekend after opening the site, we expect it to be busy, and for that reason want to maintain this stability.
With that in mind, we won't be doing anything that either threatens that stability or requires us to re-start a back-end service and bring the site offline.
Bringing stats reporting back online is now priority number one, and we expect to do that early in the week.
We know playing without stats isn't nearly as fun, but we appreciate your patience and will have them back up as early as possible next week.
