Gentlepoke Posted August 22, 2015 Last time I really played multiplayer was against John Romero in a LAN tournament. Apart from that, I haven't really played properly online for years even though I keep on playing Singleplayer in UV. DWANGO5 Map01 and Exec were always great to play on servers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted August 22, 2015 I personally am a huge fan of Dwango 6 map01, but I (and several other hosts) currently have a Dwango and EXEC server up. Would love to see you there some time! 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted September 21, 2015 I notice that Doom Editing got it's own little subsection for Tutorials! It would sure be great if Source Ports got a subsection for Multiplayer ;) Threads like these deserve a proper home: Tutorial Questions about ST/Zandronum CS/Choco questions Choco Doom/DS help Problems with MP New Odamex Servers Seeking Players +All those MP-oriented news posts! (Yes, I'm going to be an annoying butthole and push for this, but only because I think it will prove useful for quite a few of us!) 0 Share this post Link to post

Doomkid Posted October 4, 2015 To everyone who attended the Miano's Deathmatch ZDS eariler today, it was a fucking blast! There was about 12 people playing on some of the larger maps and those skins were goddamn hilarious :) 0 Share this post Link to post

JKist3 Posted October 13, 2015 ^^ Yup that's me. A couple things regarding this proposed multiplayer section: 1) I'm interested in multiplayer stuff but miss many of the multiplayer threads because I'm not that active on the doomworld forums. This is because it's a pain to sift the multiplayer stuff out of the sea of non multiplayer doomworld threads. I and hopefully others would be more active in these threads if they were grouped together in an easily findable section. 2)Linguica said:There was a Multiplayer forum before and it was a ghost town. We've talked of reviving it, but we're concerned it would just be a ghost town again. I don't know when you last tried a multiplayer section but the multiplayer scene has changed a lot over the past few years. ZDaemon used to have a near monopoly on doom multiplayer and their forums were the place to go for multiplayer discussion. As a result, I'm not surprised that a doomworld section at that time would have generated few threads. Times have changed though. The ZDaemon forums have dried up and there really isnt a place to go to for doom multiplayer stuff. The best I can think of are the WDL forums, but those are pretty specialized and don't really fill the full niche. Furthermore, the ZDaemon forum decline was due to administrators running their playerbase outta town, not from lack of player forum interest! Granted the scene has withered away over a few years of this situation, but it seems possible some of this interest could come back with a doomworld forum section. 3) What's the actual cost and effort involved in setting this up? Why not try it for a few months? If it's a ghost town, then remove the section. I don't really see the downsides here... 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks for the voice of support, JK3! I still really think this would be a great way to generate more interest for the Deathmatch scene. Having one unifying place for all varieties of DM lovers would be fantastic, rather than being fragmented into our own little islands :( 0 Share this post Link to post
terminus12 Posted October 19, 2015 It would be great for setting up duel leagues as well, or finding people to play chocolate doom with too hehe 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted January 19, 2016 Ling has given me permission to bump this old thread. I'm hoping the idea will get some more consideration, it would be fantastic to have a place to gather regardless of port preference. I have plans to start up bi-weekly Dooming events too, mainly for Deathmatch play, but all gamemodes would be covered. This would give me a great place to make announcements about it! 0 Share this post Link to post
Fonze Posted January 19, 2016 I really like the idea of setting stuff up through here; so good on ya Doomkid! Looking forward to another Deathmatch some time :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Superluigieth1 Posted January 19, 2016 I fully support the revival of DW's Multiplayer section. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted January 20, 2016 I'm really glad you guys support the idea! 0 Share this post Link to post
The Civ Posted January 20, 2016 As it is, DOOM's multiplayer scene feels kind of scattered about and seperated. Doomseeker and Zdaemon are really the only things connecting it all. A little forum for us to discuss different servers, gamemodes, etc., would be really nice. 0 Share this post Link to post
Deleted_Account Posted January 20, 2016 You guys should revive Doom 3 multiplayer. 0 Share this post Link to post

Tristan Posted January 20, 2016 Still support the revival, and yeah, Doomkid as moderator pretty much goes without saying IMO 0 Share this post Link to post
Superluigieth1 Posted January 20, 2016 Doomkid for moderator, and we can put our Multiplayer maps on there, well not really about the maps. 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted January 20, 2016 Oh damn, thanks for the support guys. As long as we have someone who will prevent drama, just generally keep it under control but still allow it to be fun, that's all that really matters to me. Hopefully more people will vote / chime in! 0 Share this post Link to post
Doomkid Posted January 20, 2016 If this does get integrated, I there are some stickied threads that would be immediately necessary: Threads for Zandronum, Zdaemon and Odamex events such as FNF, ZDS and Nitro respectively, threads for WDL and IDL events, and one with the multiplayer Doom tutorial certainly wouldn't hurt, either. In fact, I think it would be great if other users could expand on the tutorial and add new things as they come. Any other stuff that doesn't fall into those categories, like random meetups, casual coop and deathmatch play, ideas for community projects, questions about how to connect to/start servers, etc etc would just warrant their own new threads. Just a few ideas on how to get this organized, I think if done properly it wouldn't be a ghost town like it was in the past. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tristan Posted January 21, 2016 Why hello there, moderator :) EDIT: Btw, as one of the people spamming up news with multiplayer events, what do we do now? Do we crosspost in news and the new area, or keep it to the multiplayer section only? 0 Share this post Link to post
Superluigieth1 Posted January 21, 2016 Is the Multi section back on? If so, where is It? 0 Share this post Link to post
