Title: How many people in RL do you know...
Post by: player1 on February 27, 2008, 01:36:51 am
...who play Tremulous?

For me, the answer is probably none. I turned a few people onto it, and even had a friend put up a server for a few months on a nice dedicated 24/7 box, but I can't say I actually know anyone who plays Tremulous besides me. But then, I'm old, and my friends are too. Most of the people I know who are gamers are WWII fans or X-Boxers, playing Battlefield 1942 or Halo. I've got a MacBook, and Trem is what it runs, so w00t! Tremulous!

You?

None... I've tried to convince friends to play, but they aren't really game-savvy and have a hard time moving the mouse and pressing buttons at the same time.  :P

None also.

I've tried to get a couple of people interested and even offered training on my private server but they just dont want to adjust to what I consider a steep learning curve just to play a game.

I'll tell them it's worth it and they'll come around in the end im sure, but for now, no, none. Hope to soon though.

:)

Yeah my buddy can run in one direction while looking in the other direction throwing grenades on his X-box, but he can't find USE or FIRE on my computer. I love telling him, "Just push X!". He's always yelling at me "Q? Whaddya mean, Q?" & "How do I get a grenade?" :D

I know 0 people. I've had most people who watched me play get interested and play it for maybe a few hours over a week at most before they stop.

Right now, 1 - [UVACHE]BunnyFooFoo, the one responsible for getting me to play the game in the first place.  Keep trying to convince a couple co-workers they should play too, but so far they've only played once each (and one other guy I know too).  So those other three I can't count yet :P

Is Uvache still alive? I thought it died about same time I left (left because I could feel it falling apart). I guess I'd find out faster by sending message to doorknob but haven't talked in while so I would feel awkward.

No, I don't think so - but FooFoo's been out of the game long enough that he probably wouldn't know that, and would likely still be wearing the tag anyway (his son was born a few months before mine, and he never quite got back into the Tremulous community after that).  I'd try to drag him back into the game, but he went and moved to Indiana at the end of the year so it's harder to grab his arm and twist now :>

Had aboyut 5 friends playing it, then along came the Xbox and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM now plays it, I decided to not get one.

then along came the Xbox and -snip- I decided to not get one.

My wallet decided for me. Also, about getting a better computer with an actual video card in it (me have MacBook: integrated GMA950 gpu). But I saved money by not buying any games for the past six years (the last thing I payed for was a used copy of Deus Ex, after the free one I had crapped out at the Hong Kong level: I got the sword but couldn't leave the map with it!!! What a crappy place for a glitch on the disk!?!). :D Oh, and a used copy of RtCW, but that was like only $10...

I actually know about 45 people who play it.  About 20 of them showed me and I showed the 25 others :P  They don't play it nearly as much as I do though, only 2 or 3 of them do now.  Most of them kind of let it go and went to other games.
