I personally think that in today&#039;s multiplayer gaming landscape, many of the newer players that we are discussing in this topic consider Doom to be more of a novelty and not much to be taken serious. At least, serious to the degree that kept IDL thriving seasons ago. I do not believe that there is a way to really avoid this, that it&#039;s an eventuality.<br /><br />I also think comparing SICL to IDL is unfair, as SICL&#039;s management and policies were essentially nonexistent. Zandronum could be considered another competitive port, sure, but it really lies in the core community of the IDL on what port to use for what seasons. Odamex is becoming more refined over time in a way ZDaemon was not. We have to remember all the issues we had on ZDaemon that at times were [b]preventing[/b] games from happening in the first place. We simply grew accustomed to it.
