The offical masterservers went offline for a couple of months and this exactly on an friday the 13th! It seemed that our "old" games don't survive this. But a few people with knowledge created patches for RtCW and ET and helped with alternate maserservers, so a lot gameservers was again reachable. Unfortunatley are the alternate maserservers no solution that will last forever because they can compensate the problem only for a matter of time.
Id-Software activated the masterservers again after long 3 months. Thanks god ET survived this and became a small revival.
RtCW is another story, until this day the masterserver is still down, but on Facebook ID told us that all masterservers are back online and fully working. What a lie...
At the beginnin gof this year as the masterservers was online RtCW had still a good time with ca. 300 to 400 players per day. But without this important maserserver has RtCW only a maximum of 100 players worldwide.
Thank you ID-software that you nearly pushed RtCW without an equal replacement over the edge! So, this had to be said.
Last but not least I wanted to shout a big THANK YOU to all fans and guests of Wolfenstein4ever and wish you a nice time while playing RtCW or ET as ong as it's possible to play the games.
Die offiziellen Masterserver vielen aus über mehrere Monate hinweg und zwar genau am Freitag den 13.01.! Es drohte Gefahr, das unsere "veralteten" Spiele diese Master-Abschltung nicht überleben. Doch findige Tüfftler aus der Szene kreierten Patche für RtCW und ET und halfen mit alternativen Masterservern aus und viele Gameserver waren wieder "erreichbar". Doch leider sind die alternativen Masterserver keine Patentlösung die das Problem dauerhaft kompensieren können.
ID-Software hat erst nach geschlagenen 3 Monaten den Masterserver von ET aktiviert. ET hat es - gott sei dank - überlebt und blüht jetzt sogar wieder auf.
Bei RtCW sieht es leider sehr schlecht aus - Der offizielle Masterserver ist bis Heute nicht mehr aktiviert, obwohl ID-Software per Facebook sogar behauptet das alle Masterserver wieder funktionieren - welch Lüge.
Anfang des Jahres, als die Masterserver noch aktiv waren, Stand es um RtCW noch relativ gut, mit ca. 300-400 Spielern pro Tag. Aber ohne diesen wichtigen Masterserver hat RtCW jetzt nur noch maximal 100 Spieler Weltweit.
Danke ID-Software, das Ihr ohne würdigen Nachfolger (weil Wolfenstein 2009 ist kein würdiger Nachfolger) RtCW in den Abgrund getrieben habt! So, das wollte ich mal loswerden.
Zum Schluss möchte ich noch allen Fans und Gästen von Wolfenstein4ever HERZLICHST DANKEN und wünsche weiterhin ausdauernden Spaß beim Zocken von RtCW und ET, solange es noch geht.
LG dexter

Happy 12th birthday, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!
Splash Damage's first game - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - was released exactly TWELVE YEARS ago. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was born on 29/05/2003. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was originally planned to be released as a commercial expansion pack to the popular FPS Return to Castle Wolfenstein and later as a standalone game.
However, due to problems with the single-player aspect, the multiplayer portion was released on 29 May 2003 as a freeware standalone game.
In January 2004, the source code for the game logic (not the game engine) was released to the benefit of its modding community.
The game uses a modified Return to Castle Wolfenstein engine, itself being a heavily modified Quake III: Team Arena engine (id Tech 3, which has been open-source since 2005).
As of the first day of the 2010 QuakeCon, 12 August the entire source code was released under the GNU General Public License v3.Multiple source ports have been started.
While the attempts made by OpenWolf and ET:Xreal concentrate on innovating the renderer, the most active community project ET: Legacy focuses on fixing issues by backporting improvements from ioquake3 while staying binary compatible to the original game client, server and its mods.

Splash Damage's first game - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - was released exactly ELEVEN YEARS ago. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory was born on 29/05/2003. The game was originally planned as a buyable addon for Return to Castle Wolfenstein, but the singleplayer was not ready in time. Thus, the community one of the best free multiplayer first person shooter of all time received.
We wish all ET players continue to enjoy with this "young at heart" teamplay shooter.
Alles Gute zum 11. Geburtstag - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory!
Splash Damage 's erstes Spiel - Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory - wurde genau vor ELF JAHREN freigegeben. Am 29.05.2003 wurde Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory von Splash Damage geboren. Zuerst war das Spiel als kostenpflichtiges Addon zu Return to Castle Wolfenstein geplant, doch der Singleplayer wurde nicht rechtzeitig fertig. Dadurch hat die Community eines der Besten kostenlosen Multiplayer-Egoshooter aller Zeiten erhalten.
Wir wünschen allen ET Spielern weiterhin viel Spass, mit diesem "jungebliebenen" Teamplay-Shooter.

On 10.11.2016, the Wolfteam turned 3 years old. This is what Thunder, Founder of The Wolfteam, had to say about the past 3 years:
"The WolfTeam was created on November 10th, 2013. As far as I remember, Mateos and Acqu were the first to join me on the idea of the creation of a helpful forum for modders and mappers of the game Wolfenstein Enemy-Territory. Since then, the community has grown and is still growing. Actually, it has become bigger than I ever hoped for. We are now, as I write this, up to 69 site members.
We have fun helping each other and even if you aren't the best in English we do our best to help you. We had a bit of a bumpy start, with website attacks and Clans that thought we would be a new rival Clan that would bring other Clans down. However, slowly but surely, people started to finally understand that we are not a Clan, that we're actually just a community, dedicated to bringing out new maps and mods for them to play.
Today, several Clan leaders and members of different parties have joined in and are creating, supporting or commenting on the stuff that we do for Wolf ET. We've always kept to the rules, "Real life comes first" and "There is nothing you HAVE to do". We are a free community where everybody can join, as long as they behave.
This year we have joined forces with ET:Legacy, to keep Wolf ET fresh and somewhat better looking in the hopes of bringing back some of the old players and maybe some new ones to the game too. As long as I see that there is activity and nice people helping each other I will keep this site going."
Wolf ET Forever!!
Best Regards, Thunder
