Why: If you have to ask, I’ll assume you’ve never heard of Rock2ober – so stop reading, and check out the Rock2ober FAQ. Back? Ok, let’s proceed:
Men and women of the Quakeworld,
Rock2ober 2021 is upon us! Once again, we attempt to FILL a server with 32 players, all gathered at the same time, in the same place, to battle it out in a MASSIVE Q1 Team Fortress event. Whether you’re a devoted AGR Maniac, a critic, or a newbie, if you just love your TF Action anyway you can get it, this is your chance to make history, and experience Rock2ober in all its Gory Glory. Before we go ANY further, get your nostalgic heart pumping by watching these (now ‘ancient’) promos for Rock2ober 2010, and Rock2ober 2011.
(wow)
The Weekly AGR Sessions have going for 13 YEARS STRAIGHT. We’ve cracked 32 people before, and we can do it again. To experience that VERY special 32 player “full server” feeling, I’m once again reaching out to the wider world of TF players. Maybe you who are reading this prefer Vanilla TF, Classic CustomTF, MegaTF, CTF, or TWCTF, but for an event this big, I know all TF players, of ALL genres will want to be there. Yes, AGR is ‘different’ but hey, the core idea is ‘Blue defends flag’ / ‘Red captures flag’, so anyone who has ever played Team Fortress will be up to speed in no time. So, don’t miss out on a rare opportunity to play in a 32 player game in 2021, ok? YOU can help make this happen by spreading the word about Rock2ober 2021 to EVERY Quake player you know, current and retired. Awesome stuff, and once their blood starts pumping, tell ’em to sit right down, and feast on the blockbuster Rock2ober 2015 Movie part1, and Part 2!!
VOICE CHAT
Yes discord is popular in 2021, BUT but AGR has built in voip, and voice chat is recorded into the demos as well! Your descendants will be hearing your voice in a thousand years!
DEMOS
Demos will be available for download, check the comments section below (get Registered on the AGR Mailing List to email notifications), and the AGRMania youtube channel for details to follow.

WHAT IF THE SERVER IS FULL?
In the chance we DO get 32 players(!), it *probably* won’t stay at 32 for long, so just reconnect.
EXCUSES DESTROYED
“Ok, but I don’t have Quake anymore, and don’t know / remember where to get the client!”. Go here.
