Ok, I need to gauge the interest of our community towards a UT3 invasion server. If there is not a lot of interest in playing one of the invasion mods available, then I will not go any further in trying to set up a server.

Please vote one way or the other. Keep in mind the various ages of the players' computers as some will not be able to handle UT3.

Do you want votes from people who haven't played UT3, do not own it, or can't run it?

I use the custom character skin "Arkos." Get it HERE.
If you want your own custom skin (and you have played at least 3 months on the DC server), post a new thread on the forums containing your request. (As of June 2013)

I need to see who wants to play UT3. Those who's machines will not handle the game can vote as well but they need to qualify their vote.

I need to be able to gauge the interest as setting up the server will be expensive and I do not wish to spend the money if there will be no players.

I own it, played it when first purchased but in the absence of a server like DC it didn't keep my interest long. I would say that if DC set up an invasion server for it I would play.

I have not quite figured out the voting thing, but I can at least give my opinion.

Like DW, i would play if there were a few regulars that played. To qualify my response, i do not own UT3 and I would probably have to upgrade my computer if i wanted to play it (am looking for a decent excuse to buy a new computer anyway though).

When I get the cash to upgrade and buy it I would love a DC server for it!

Fewer people play UT3 than UT2004, at least based on Xfire's numbers. (UT2004 is ranked #100 with 380 players and UT3 is ranked #211 with 156 players as of today.) Invasion wasn't even included as a gametype with UT3. Even so, modders took care of that little problem and there were a few UT3 INV servers when I last checked about 2 years ago. But if UT3 were really worth migrating to, people would have done it 4 years ago when it came out.

True, but how much of that non-migration is due to the game's pc requirements? Remember, most folks back then were happy just to keep their pc running, never mind upgrading to a faster/newer one.

When UT3 first came out, few folks had the pc capable of running the game at mid level performance--4 years ago.

Now, even with the financial mess we are still in nation wide, I know of a lot of players that have managed to upgrade. Also, of the problems associated with the new release, most have been resolved along with more maps to be played.

I feel now is the time for a serious look at setting up a server for UT3 invasion for those who would like to try again or venture into the game for the first time.

I'm willing to set up the server and handle most all of the costs of running the server, BUT I do want to know if there are players serious enough to make the effort worthwhile.

As I wait for the responses from the DC community, I am exploring the various possibilities for server/domain requirements. I have had some offers for hosting the server on a 24/7 basis and within the budget requirements I have.

Don't get me wrong, I will still be playing and stay a admin on DC's UT2004 server.

that sounds great, but until I get caught up on my bills and other things taken care of my pc budget is tied up in massive red tape let alone the wife negative factor , then just getting the money to buy it....unless someone is willing to ether give me winning lotto numbers that win or share their winning ticket with me I'm S _ _ _ out of luck right now.

i voted no simply because i do not own UT3 and have no intentions on buying it as well as my computer could barely even run the demo version of UT3.

This pool/thread made me reinstall and play a little single player UT3 and I must say I am disappointed there isn't more interest in a DC invasion server.
That being said, there must be updates and patches and etc for UT3 that I am unaware of, anyone know where I need to go to get them?

You can get the patches and updates from the Beyond Unreal website.

Please be aware that the proposed server may not be attached to DC, even tho that is a possibility. Right now, I trying to find out if there is interest in a UT3 server before I venture any further. My worst fear is setting up the server, spending the time and money to test and open, and then finding out that there are 3 or 4 players from DC that would be considered steady players.

Although you do have a point that a lot of people couldn't play it on their machines, there were a lot of problems with UT3. A lot of the problems can be attributed to it shipping on PC, 360, and PS3, and the PC. The PC version had a lot of console like limitations. It was a lot more difficult to mod than it should have been. The menu interface was a mess. Many of the people who could play it were unhappy with the game; contrast that to UT2004 when it released where response was mostly positive and it was awarded game of the year by several publications. The "Black" patch for UT3 fixed a lot of problems, but it was too little to late for many players.
