Creeper CTF

3 things had a fundamental impact on the emergence of BarrysWorld from its Tortured Souls era. The UKCL (UK Clan League), a Quakeworld Clan Deathmatch league for players of all pings, the MCW (Modem Clan War), similar but limited to HPB's and of course Creeper CTF.


Creeper was a fundamental change to Zoids "Official" QW CTF Mod in that it added a load of Runes. The number of Runes varied with server implementations depending on what people actually liked to use, as some were over-powered (thats code for fun for non-wimps) and some were bugged.


Each Rune gave a specific Power Up to the player that found it and picked it up (by running over it, no fiddly Use keyes in those days). These Power Ups greatly enhanced teamplay and as a result the Tortured Souls Creeper CTF server was packed, every night for months on end. Additionally, all stats were logged and parsed through a Website with a package running to present all the funky stats and nonsense in an easy to understand and fun way.


The UKCL, MCW and in particular Creeper CTF drew enough players to the Clans game servers to cause the servers to take on a life of their own and eventually to be split away, with its own website and name.
