Like xonotic, opensrena, red eclipse, warfork, alien arena, etc. are they ever active or are they completely dead?

Found games on hypersomnia(stick arena like shooter), assaultcube, and et legacy.

Maybe the future of this is platforms like S@box letting ppl make their own mp games and having them be accessible from one location. Probably not realistic, but would be sick if all these fossgames had one portal/serverbrowser to access them from. I think there is something for doom that is essentially that?

Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).

Hmm, are you on an up-to-date version? Could also be a timezone thing, though, like maybe there’s an active community in India, which plays when you’re asleep or whatever.

I've checked many different times and there is usually nothing, makes sense it's prob out of my timezone pst US

Haven’t checked in on it in a while, but I’d be surprised, if Teeworlds wasn’t still going strong.

Some people still play Armagetron but I don’t like play with them because they’re too pro.

I know red eclipse is under active development, but I think its parent project Sauerbraten might have more players. I haven’t checked in years though.

Panel Attack has tournaments on a regular basis.
