True Leroy, but I look at the server viewer alot and 92% are overseas. Still very popular overseas but there arn't many left in the states ( GMC Style ) there are a few bin and zark servers here but those arn't my thing..... Burrmans server is still very popular and thats were most old school players show up ( alais'in of course ) Hop in if you still have the game installed.

I was referring to the game over all, not juts a specific region nor a specific game style.

One day I'm gonna get around to programming a php page that querys all three master servers in regular intervals and graphs the number of players and servers so one can compare just how popular all three games are.

I think gametracker.com does something like that.

According to their stats today, there are about 203 UT3 servers, 476 UT2004 servers, and 948 classic UT servers. I'm not sure about player averages but they have some numbers that seem to suggest there are 2400 or so UT players compared to 1200 UT3 players.

I'm still have UT 2004 on my pc but I lost my UT 3 DVD a long time ago. I'm half tempted to run a server but I know I'll just be saddened by the whole thing.

I wouldn't consider gametracker.com very reliable to get numbers for comparison. Server admins have to add their server to the service (or at least someone has to add it, it's not automatic)

So all that could mean is more UT admins add their server to the site than UT2k4 or UT3 server admins.

I lost both my UT2k4 and UT3 media (actually, I think the UT3 media was stolen back when my laptop got stolen and UT2k4 went missing from Katrina) but if I ever plan to get them again, it'll be during another Steam sale where I can get all of them for extremely cheap. Didn't pay attention to how much they were going for this past Steam sale, I'll try and remember to check the next sale, I doubt it's very much seeing as how right now it's $40 for Unreal, Unreal II, UT, UT2k4 and UT3 and Steam is well known for having up to 75% off on bundles.
