Enemy Territory QUAKE Wars is GOLD!

Back in 2003, we started exchanging design ideas with id Software for what started out as a fairly modest attempt to evolve the team-play in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Now, four years later, Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars has officially gone GOLD! For those of you not familiar with the development term, going gold means that the retail game is complete, and that master DVDs have gone to manufacturing, and will then head to stores. This makes us especially proud, not just because of the incredible passion and effort that the development teams have invested these past four years, but especially because of the amazing support the community has given us.

We could never have dreamed that before we had even released the game, we would have had over 100,000 posts on the game's forums, over 80,000 registrants for the Betas, or that we would meet thousands of you in person in London, Los Angeles, Dallas, New York, and Germany on the many ETQW tours and events we've attended.

It is a direct result of your support and the buzz that you've all generated both here, and on more than fifty fan-sites in so many different countries and languages that Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars has won so many awards, but most importantly, has been the subject of more great community feedback on the Betas than I've ever seen at any time with any other game.

Of course this is just the beginning of the next phase – that of the ongoing support for Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars. Our first goal after completing the game's demo (planned for release in mid-September - we're working on that right now) will be to watch closely and address any issues that come up in the first few weeks after the game's release. Next, we'll be putting the polish on the Software Developers Kit, including the Source Code, Level Design Tools and documentation to make sure mod-makers get what they need.

So it is with our deepest gratitude that we'd like to thank all of the community members that have contributed so much to helping us get the game to gold.

The game's retail release is on September the 28th for Europe and Australia, and October the 2nd in North America. We can't wait to see you all on the servers!

Are You Ready for Quake Wars?

Quake War Stats Wipe and Account reset on Wednesday 22nd August

To Those who i already told not to whore on Ranked Servers, here's the reason why.
Plus, the beta keys you have now will not let you play the Retail game.

badman's Beta Blog: Accounts and Statistics to be Reset
Submitted by badman on Sat, 2007-08-18 17:34.
A multiplayer combat game like Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars requires a significant amount of backend infrastructure that has to be running at all times, including account registration and verification, user management, statistics collection, server registration and listings, and many more. One of the goals of the Public Beta is to test as many of these systems as possible and with the beta client update out of the way, we’re now ready to conduct a few stress-tests. We’ll be running two major tests in the coming days that will affect your account, so please take the time and read this blog update in its entirety.

The most important of these tests concerns the registration system. In order to tax it as much as possible and make sure it’s up to the task of handling the retail product, we are going to wipe the entire accounts database and have all of our beta testers re-create their in-game account. The process isn’t really all that complicated – let me walk you through it:

The accounts database is reset. Your in-game account will no longer work.
Start the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars beta client. On the login screen, select your account and click "Remove user". On the next screen, select "Remove local user" and click "Next". Confirm the action.
Retrieve your beta license key from FilePlanet. It can be found both in the email you were sent after signing up or the beta and under My Account -> Beta Keys Archive on the FilePlanet website.
Back in the beta client, go to “Create User” and select “Create new online account”. Put in your account name along with your beta license key and click “Finish”.
That’s it! You’re all set and ready to dive back into the Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars beta.
The wipe is currently scheduled for this coming Wednesday (August 22, 2007), at which point you will no longer be able to play unless you re-create your account in the manner described above. The statistics are also going to be reset that day.

The other test we’re running is currently taking place on a much smaller scale and concerns the statistics roll-back and restoration functionality. In the final game, we’ll be able to use this to combat statistics exploits, padding, and other unwanted activity. To make sure that rolling back and restoring statistics on a large scale is as seamless and robust a process as it can be, 5000 beta accounts have been randomly selected for this test and their owners have already been notified. Essentially, we’re be rolling back the statistics for those accounts by several hours, followed by returning them to their original, pre-rollback state. We’re taking great care during this process, but since this is still a beta, there is a chance that the statistics may be corrupted during the test.

We’d like to thank all of our beta testers for their contributions so far. I know we say this in every beta blog update, but it can’t be stressed enough. You guys have definitely had a positive impact on Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars and we hope you’ll continue to help us during these final few weeks of the ETQW Public Beta.

badman's Beta Blog: Beta 2 Client Update Soon - Changelog inside
Submitted by badman on Tue, 2007-08-14 19:22.
In between appending the finishing touches to Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars, we've also been working on a small client update for the Public Beta. This update will be downloadable through the in-game updater, so all you have to do when it comes out is start up the game and watch the digital magic unfold.

What's changed? Let's go straight to the changelog, shall we?

Play Computer tab now fully functional in main menu.
Don't report LAN servers to the master server.
Sniper Scope fixes.
Fixed overlapping icons on level load screen.
Allow support for either EXT or ARB texture_rectangle.
Fixed exploit where Anansi could block SSM on third objective.
Fixed bug where Titan view would go crazy if FOV is higher than 90.
Base player speed returned to original. Upgrade tweaked.
We're also releasing some updated server files to our GSP partners. The updated files fix several memory leak issues, so you should also be seeing much improved server performance.

We'll get the client update out to you as soon as possible. We're going to update the news page as soon it's released, so keep an eye on that.

Please keep the feedback coming - it's been very useful to us, so let us know what you think of this latest revision.
