Should I play et or legacy in 2026?

I don't see many players in et legacy, how's the standard version?

Legacy is just an updated version of ET with many improvements. You can still play on the same servers. There's less players these days, but still some busy servers.

Don't install the 64 bit version of ET Legacy. You must install the 32 bit version. All servers run the 32 bit. I had the same issue as you.

I believe they're having this issue as well as I had the same. Going to run the 32 bit tonight to see

After ET: Legacy was widely accepted the player base increased

I play on macOS, so I can only play ET Legacy. From 7PM until 10PM, the top servers are full, around 40-45 players per match.

Yes and it has decreased since. We're long past the heyday with tens of thousands of players, but I'm grateful this nearly quarter of a century old game still has so many fans.

Do you only play on Legacy servers or do you have an old mac that still runs 32 bit?

I’m not sure honestly. I have a 2024 MacBook Pro with macOS 26 and I play on the 2.85 version of the game that was released last week. Only legacy servers, I guess. I only play on one server, Team Muppet ET Legacy.

Ah yeah, that explains it. Legacy is the only 64 bit mod.
