I actually still play UT99 daily! There's still a fairly competitive community where we hold tournaments and stuff.
Plus, I'm developing something (long-awaited) for UT99 called NewNet (similar to Lotus's UT2004 UTComp mod) that eliminates all movement lag and simulates zero ping server-side. And at some point I'd love to create something similar to QuakeLive (Quake via the browser, with tons of stats tracking and stuff) for UT99.
For a 13 year old game, it's still more fun than most games out there if you ignore the trolls.
