Guys I was just wondering how many in here have been playing Witp "Since it came out"(July 04) Non-stop(it has never left your machine).

1.
I started on 1 July 04 with the Download and have never stopped playing. How about you guys?

2. Is it sill your Top wargame(takes most of your gaming time)?



ChezDaJez -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 1:19:20 AM)

I picked it up in Oct 04, joined the forum in Nov 04 and have been playing ever since.

I have only picked up a couple of games since then... Silent Hunter 3 and Pacific Fighters. I play Pacific Fighters sometimes while waiting for turns, occcasionally spin up Civ III. Slient Hunter gathers dust...

I spend about 50% of my computer time playing WitP or on the forum. The rest of the time I'm studying for the next exam or preparing a research paper. (only 10 days to graduation, thank God!!!)

Once school is out, I'll have a bit more time for WitP and work, of course.

I downloaded WitP about a week after it came out while I was at my mob station prior to deploying.  It took all night.  I haven't stopped playing it since.  I rarely play anything else.



rockmedic109 -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 1:53:57 AM)

I downloaded it the day it came out.   Had to Download it on my wife's machine and move to over to mine.  Been playing ever since.  Switched machines twice.  I will play other games, but I always come back.



rogueusmc -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 2:15:16 AM)

I downloaded the second day...I had to take a break to deal with real life but WitP hasn't been shelved for another game since I got it.[8D]

Semper Fi,

Terminus -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 2:15:24 AM)

Nope, can't claim that much longevity. It was the first Matrix game I DL'ed, the same day I got my Internet connection set up, back in April 2005.

But it's still my favorite wargame, bar absolutely none.



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 2:22:03 AM)

Games come and go. The reason I ask the question, is that there are alot of old timers that ive seen in here day after day, year after after year. It got me to wondering how many other "wargames" have that much attention from its fan base.[:)]



Halsey -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 2:43:21 AM)

To many forum members dismay, I'm still here and playing every day. [;)][:D]



rogueusmc -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 2:56:57 AM)

I bought UV in a bargain bin years ago and that brought me to the forum...got into my first PBEM...joined the murmurring crowd anxiously awaiting WitP...the rest is history.

I had never been a part of an online forum until I came here.

patrickl -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 3:07:06 AM)

Well, I played Pacwar for 7 years - from 1996? to 2002 (till UV came along) so WITP is relatively young - should last me a loooong time.[:D]

rtrapasso -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 3:12:07 AM)

i downloaded it as soon as i discovered (August 2004) it was out (i had stopped playing UV after it started crashing constantly, so wasn't on the forums at that time to discover it... i had been playing UV since 2002, and "War in the South Pacific" since i found it in the bargain bin in about 1994...

Self-recrimination?!?!



Terminus -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 3:23:00 AM)

I think dtravel is somehow ashamed of all the time he's spent on this poor, buggy game...[8|][:D][:'(]



drw61 -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 3:30:10 AM)

Downloaded it on 1 July 2004, and I'm still hooked!

On my machine since purchase a year ago - would have got it sooner had I known of it. I don't wonder so much about other wargames, rather I wonder why THIS one exerts so much fascination.



wworld7 -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:17:46 AM)

I got WITP right when it came out, but then waited about 1/2 year to start getting involved with it. I was playing a lot of UV back then.




captskillet -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:21:32 AM)

May not have played non-stop but it has NEVER left nor will it ever leave my machine!!!!



BrucePowers -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:26:12 AM)

I downloadeded it within in a day of release, played with it for a while and let it go until May of last year. I have been playing it nonstop since.



RevRick -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:28:34 AM)

Soon as I could get it downloaded in July 2004, think it was the second. And I've been playing ever since. Bravo Zulu, Matrix!



Mark VII -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:35:40 AM)

Got my wife to download it at her work the day of release and have played nothing else since. At the time we only had dial up at home while she had broad band at work. All hail the Wife Unit Mk I!!![&o][&o][&o]



stonefoot -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 4:55:34 AM)

I think I got my copy back in late 04' or early 05', If you want to count PacWar then I can go back to my Atari 800XL in the 80's.



bradfordkay -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 5:15:31 AM)

Mine was purchased the first day of release (at Origins). It took a few more days to reach my hands. It has never left my hard drive since, though I will admit that it took AB's map to really make me like it (I loved the system, having been hooked on UV, but the stock map with its Australian racetrack railsystem really turned me off).

Every now and then I have needed to take a week or two off (though PBEM has changed that), but considering the fact that I used to purchase 10-15 games per year before WITP and I have only purchased about five games since its release - you can see just how much of my time it takes up.

Bravo Zulu? There was a time that “Bravo Zulu” was standard code for a type of tactical chemical weapon. This particular type of chemical agent would cause hallucinations, thus rendering the effected troops ineffective-if still somewhat delighted. [:D]

Is this a Freudian slip? Or am I forgetting another common use of Bravo Zulu.



Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 5:52:39 AM)

All most a complete family reunion!  Look at all this old game names. Almost puts a lump in my witp throat.[X(]

whippleofd -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 6:13:33 AM)

Having much experiance with war games and understanding how they are generally released full of bugs now a days (heck since I played "North Altantic 86", back in 84 on the ol' Apple 2e); I decide to wait till Christmas 05 to make this one of my presents.

I enjoyed Pac War so much I didn't want to jade myself by buying WiTP too early and I think I waited the right amount of time as I've not purchased a single game since then.

I don't have the time to reliably commit to PBEM so I have put my efforts into modding the Japanese so they stand a chance when I'm the Allies, while trying to retain the "flavor" of the Pacific War.

Knavey -> RE: Roll Call of Longevity (6/3/2007 6:20:43 AM)

Feinder and I started out also when it first came out.  I think we also started the first TEAM game out there against multiple opponents (or at least that was mentioned on the forums).  That game is still going on btw against Ltfighter and Kbullard.
