Is this game alive?

Fr33manMBSC · 10 Sep 2026 at 02:15 · permalink

Hi all!

I used to have so much fun with this game back 20 years ago. Playing on "Testicul's War Room" and "FAG Clan" rooms. Not gonna lie, had the time of my life in this game. I'm wondering, is this game still alive? What is the game like now?

yes, both public and competitive scenes are alive

There's still an active minority playing weekly or even daily.

There's also another minority like myself playing once a month or two month.

It's ETLegacy now by the way in case you wondered how to install.

Yes. There are small communities playing on a regular basis. If you are based in EU I recommend checking Team Muppet’s servers

I would say there's around 50 to 200 players online, depends on the time/day.

Just join one of the discord's in this topic on the right side.

I used to play about 20 years ago too. I got back into it a couple months ago but only played for a few weeks. I played on a FA clan server for that time. Felt like bots mostly.

Im back after 10 years and Im having a good time. Always 3-4 Legacy servers on the weekend to choose from.

Where does the competitive scene hang out though? On discord it seems dead? Long ago there used to be mIRC but I'm pretty sure that doesn't exist anymore ;)

Best game ever made!

Sadly, half the scene is F|A clan servers which, because of 0 competition, have created some of the most boring/lame map rotations in ET server history. Euro servers are so much better it's almost comical.

No reason it wouldn't be alive, even 'recently' got on Steam!

The game is very much alive. It ebbs and flows depending on the working day and weekends by location.

The only thing that can kill it will be ET:Legacy trying to do something incredibly stupid like a matchmaking web version to fracture the remaining player base or try to accommodate some obscure ETPro lua script that breaks compatibility.
