How to Play QuakeWorld
  1. nQuake is a one-click package that bundles the ezQuake client.
  2. Download, unzip, run. (If you own Quake, drop your pak files in for the full maps.)

Joining a server Click connect and it opens the server in ezQuake via a qw:// link (nQuake registers that handler). No handler? Use the console: /connect ip:port.
