Roll Call of Longevity

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)?

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.

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.

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]

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.

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]

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

[rogueusmc]

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.

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]

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]

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

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]

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]

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