id Interview
News from the Quake Live front being hard to come by for some reason, here's a brief mention of it from an interview over at 1up.com....
Link (to page 3): Interview with id's Tim Willits, Todd Hollenshead
Yes. Well, the current Quake project is Quake Live, and we're actually doing that internally as well. But that's multiplayer-focused, obviously. In terms of what happens next with Quake, a lot of that will depend on how the reception for Quake Live goes and whether that team continues to invest in building that out. That would be what we're hoping for, and then [we'll] figure out where we go down the road with that.
The Quake Live team is smaller. We're still not fully fleshed out [with] three teams that can work on three projects simultaneously. Even then, then you've got Doom, Quake, Wolf, Rage -- it's like there's still an odd franchise out. Plus Enemy Territory, which would lend itself with working with an external party.

"Brawling to our Browsers"
CVG has an interview with John Carmack on Quake Live
Link: Interview: John Carmack - ComputerAndVideoGames.com
"Imagine if somebody gave you a copy of the original Q3A," suggests id Software co-founder John Carmack, "and asked you to come play with them online. You'd have to install it, download the latest patch, figure out what mods people are playing, figure out how to find the servers - that whole long rigmarole that the game conventionally requires. The whole point of Quake Live is to bypass all of that."and a bit on mods in Quake Live
How will mods work with Quake Live?Check out the article....
JC:The answer is that, in the classic mod sense of being able to hack whatever you want, they don't. We've incorporated a lot of the things that have been popular in mods, we're working with mod teams on there, but it is essentially a controlled system. We're in no way shutting down the original Q3A scene, so anybody who wants to build things with the open-source code is still more than free to do so. That may even become a proving ground for moving things into Quake Live.

Disarm the Dynamite! ET-Live?
Considering that ET is based of the Q3A engine (right?) this seems like a no-brainer to me. If QL takes off, that is.
I still play ET. And I like it. :p It's either going to be "We've got the gold!" or "We've lost the radar parts!" for this one!!!

"If [Quake Live] is successful, we've tossed around the idea of taking the Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory game - which was actually always more popular than Q3A in the online space - and doing a similar treatment to it with the experience we've gained here," Carmack told PC Zone.
