taking summer break lol , you either do it or you don't seas, can't wait any longer! X-Bomb is spot on with what he says. If you don't then what everyone thought would happen will happen lol.
Trust me the best reason to keep UT alive is because modern games are going in a very bad direction in my opinion.
online fifa is scripted (game is entirely manipulated to make a team win or lose in game mechanics)
call of duty is mega handicapped to 'help n00bs' ie when someone like wish owns everyone he would get nerfed and the guys that can't kill anything get mega help and stat boosts.
that's just 2 examples that i know of and from what i hear allot of other games will go the same way, to sell more games copies and make more money because n00bs think there good and will play.
UT is old school , and the game is skilled and competitive, that's it's biggest asset combined with the fact also that its totally free to install and play online and you only need a really basic PC to play it.
Even with this i think it will be very hard to promote the game at all to get new players , you would need money and time and effort and it seems you have given up already so it won't happen lol. I think it's inevitable the game will eventually die unfortunately online games have a sell by date unlike a real life sport
