What foss MP games are still active?

Like xonotic, opensrena, red eclipse, warfork, alien arena, etc. are they ever active or are they completely dead?

Found games on hypersomnia(stick arena like shooter), assaultcube, and et legacy.

Space Station 14 is one of my favourite games, but it can be very confusing to start playing and definetly isn't for everyone.
Panel Attack has tournaments on a regular basis.
Beyond All Reason
I know red eclipse is under active development, but I think its parent project Sauerbraten might have more players. I haven't checked in years though.
Xonotic still has a few servers running and 385 players yesterday
- wtfs wrong with my xonotic, i only see like 2 servers not full max when i check
  
  Hmm, are you on an up-to-date version? Could also be a timezone thing, though, like maybe there's an active community in India, which plays when you're asleep or whatever.
Some people still play Armagetron but I don't like play with them because they're too pro.
- armagettron was very fun over lan on school pcs back in highschool, i put it in the school directory so everyone could copy it over whenever lol
I assume ppl still run bzflag servers
- that looks fun, never heard of it
Does mindustry count?
Anybody playing tremulous?
- is that unvanquished? Played a game of that, couldnt find one again
Haven't checked in on it in a while, but I'd be surprised, if Teeworlds wasn't still going strong.
- dont think anyone does dm annoyingly, idr care for the coop race thing
Maybe the future of this is platforms like S@box letting ppl make their own mp games and having them be accessible from one location. Probably not realistic, but would be sick if all these fossgames had one portal/serverbrowser to access them from. I think there is something for doom that is essentially that?
- Zandronum was the Doom server browser of choice, at least 4 years ago or so. Even will auto download the mods the server is running (if the admin configured things right).
  
  For games where there is a list of servers, it would be cool to have a central software like gamespy to let players know where the other players are.
