As far as I've noticed the QL team has never answered anything in regards to LAN play. Second quakecon coming up and I assume alot of summer lans would be keen on including QL if they'd know what ID plans to do in regards to xmpp auth. If ID will succumb to the same faggotry as Blizzard, how hard would it be to crack?
