I was tempted to try it to play some new maps, but from what I can see in the map browser, it looks like no one is playing premium maps. I don't want to pay for it only to find out that every premium map server is empty. Anyone know if this is the case?

You're still equating game types to gameplay. They're not the same thing. Q3 has a depth of gameplay that is just not present in UT, from my personal experience.
Don't get me wrong, I LIKE UT. I like all of the Unreal games, they're fun. But they're not at all the same thing as quake. I don't get ultra-competitive in UT like I did in Quake, because it's just not that hard to consistently be on top of the scoreboard in UT.
UT doesn't have strafe jumping, and never has. They have dodge jumping. It's completely different, requires way less skill to execute (double tap in a direction versus hitting your timing right, every time), and doesn't add anywhere near the complexity or skill floor that Q3 required for competitive play.
I didn't say rocket jumping was impossible in UT, I said it wasn't done because it would kill you. I don't mean instagib, I mean the damage done was so heavy that you didn't ever do it on purpose. The physics and map design also precluded the usefulness of rocket jumping, making it further an undesirable.
Dude, even in 2005 and 2006, Quake 3 was STILL being used for professional tournaments. What are you smoking?
Unreal Tournament completely faded away, while Q3 is still a viable game today. One only needs to look at QuakeLive to realize this.
