I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as DDNet, is in fact, DDmax/DDNet, or as I've recently taken to calling it, DDmax plus DDNet. DDNet is not a server unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning server network made useful by the DDmax coremaps, chat utilities and vital system components comprising a full server as defined by Teeworlds.
Many DDNet players use a modified version of the DDmax server every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of DDmax which is widely used today is often called "DDNet", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the DDmax server, developed by Tsin.
There really is a DDNet, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. DDNet is the team: the group that allocates the server's resources to the other servers that you run. The team is an essential part of a server network, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete server instance. DDmax is normally used in combination with the DDNet server network: the whole server network is basically DDmax with DDNet added, or DDmax/DDNet. All the so-called "DDNet" servers are really servers of DDmax/DDNet.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as DDRaceNetwork, is in fact, Teeworlds, or as I've recently taken to calling it, DDNet. DDRaceNetwork is not the same as Teeworlds, which refers to a modification of the base game that adds a cooperative gamemode to it. Many DDNet users run a modified version of the original Teeworlds, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the Teeworlds game which is widely used today is often called "DDRaceNetwork", and many of its users are not aware that it's actually the Teeworlds multiplayer shooter, developed by Magnus Auvinen. There really is a game called Teeworlds, but those people aren't using it, it's a completely different project. Teeworlds is a multiplayer platformer shooter, with support up to 16 players on three different gamemodes: Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag. A multiplayer platformer shooter is a radically different program from the cooperative game that is DDRaceNetwork. DDRace is a separate project from the Teeworlds project: they are two completely different projects that just so happen to be similar games with similar visuals. All the so-called "DDRaceNetwork" servers are really Teeworlds servers.
