Nope! NEVER. But I'm beginning to look into it...online games that I've been playing have been losing their spark as of late, except for maybe UT2k3. Anyone know where I can get a copy?
But first...is it really worthwhile? Active community? Lots of players? Just the basics...that's all I need

1. Not many players (few hundred!)
2. Not very active (maybe 60-70 games at busy hours and 5 at dead-hour

)
Is it worth it? Oh boy yes. But you need a good joystick and learning curve to pick it up. Descent 3 is the most diverse game out there and the only one of it's kind. And the adrenaline rush in some multiplayer such as CTF is the best of ANYTHING
If you would like some multiplayer screenshots I can provide..
You can find D3 probably at
www.amazon.com and
www.ebay.com

BTW Descent has several public Windows interfaces so you can get to talk to me and others online:

You will need to create an account, but you can use one of my "chat" ones instead

There is a store nearby me that has a few copies, if you have trouble with online ordering, I can help.

Sweetness...WAIT. Are most of the game servers in Europe? I might have some hellish ping. I'll look for a copy, though.
Joystick...is that really necessary? Keyboard and mouse work best at computer games from my experience.
I'm used to adrenaline...UT2k3 Instagib CTF. No one can beat me at that

This is unlike any computer game - You need ultimate reflex , joystick is the way to do that. Mouse is good, but takes longer learning curve.. MUCH longer.
