It&#039;s not as simple as &quot;selecting a port.&quot; The Odamex developers have built their port specifically with the IDL in mind - we can certainly say that&#039;s not the case for ZDaemon and Zandronum (not yet for Zandro at least). The reality is, when it comes to moving or staying, the decision is ultimately going to be political. IDL took a step back in terms of playing stability for the first season on Odamex, a move that was strictly political. I&#039;m not sure about it&#039;s current state but it still probably has some way to go if it wants to be on the stability level of ZDaemon (referring to 1.08).<br /><br />It would be a huge kick in the balls to the Oda developers to tell them &quot;thanks but no thanks&quot; and Zandronum is still uncharted territory for competitive play. And when ST had it&#039;s attempts at competitive leagues/events, it was ruined by trolls and flakes. <br /><br />Returning to ZDaemon isn&#039;t practical. If you want a struggling port, you may as well stick with Odamex because it has more potential. If you want a larger, more fluid community then you&#039;d go with Zandronum. ZDaemon just isn&#039;t a factor anymore and it shouldn&#039;t be. They&#039;ve moved on from most of us, it&#039;s time we move on from them. <br /><br />At this point, the IDL has gone too far to turn away from Odamex. But if the IDL wants to continue, it&#039;s best bet is probably Zandronum as the Zandro community is much larger and has more &quot;youngblood&quot; available than Oda does. But as I mentioned above, there are obviously major cons to rolling with Zandro. <br /><br />There are some things in the works that might give people a better idea of where the competitive doom communities&#039; future lies. Until some of that is presented, I&#039;d worry more about embracing the last few games of the IDL for this season (and potentially forever).
