A plugin update?
Fuck.

Dude, why didn't you just cancel the update?

I think he means a Quake Live plugin update. BTW, 1565.

It's a Quake Live update. I need it to play the game.

Aw, that ain't right. If they required the update, they should have set it up to preserve your place in line.
Wait, so that means that all of us who haven't got the plugin aren't actually waiting in line for the game, we're just waiting to get the plugin.

When was the last time you played QL? Because I updated my plugin a few days ago.

A few days ago, actually. Just be ready when it finishes, so you don't throw your computer out of your window or anything...

DAMN IT. Updating...

On the QuakeLive twitter page, it says they were having connection problems that they just fixed.

Correct. In other words, go do something else while it runs in the background or just wait a day or two (maybe more) for the lines to die down.
That doesn't have to do with the actual queue. Actually, it might mean that we have to wait even longer, since people won't be quitting as quickly because the game works now.
492 now...
And I'm on. Nice.

Heh. Just for giggles I let it run until I finally got the plugin. Now when I go to the site, I get nothing but a blank white page. I know this is just a beta, but this is not a very auspicious beginning...

OK, so Firefox crashed and I rejoined QL. No wait! What the heck?

It appears that they broke the damn thing. While trying to go through training a second time, I can't go through any of the gates, and it's crashing my browser. Hopefully these issues will be solved soon...

This is only the first time interest. Annoying, yes. Took me 4 tries to complete the ranking match (for the 5th consecutive time too). I give it 2 to 3 weeks. A month at most. After that those who tried and got bored will move on and forget about it.

I like QL from what little I've played of it.
Not half bad, and damn, does it ever look good!
