I'm playing very rarely right now. Not because I don't want to, but because my PC freezes when I play. Makes me sad. D:

Rarely. I can't run Soldat on hot days. I need to study a lot more. And

KINGDOM OF LOATHING

! takes up most of my computer time.

On average, I play Soldat once a week.

Pekay.jps · « **Reply #8 on:** May 21, 2009, 04:21:42 am »

Playing a lot of Soldat right now, up to 4 hours a day

Mostly public ctf, climb and hns because I have no idea how gather works

-Major- · « **Reply #9 on:** May 21, 2009, 04:35:46 am »

it's sctfl now, so I think there's many who plays soldat activly at this time.

SpiltCoffee · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2009, 04:44:44 am »

If you had asked me a month or two ago, my answer would have been yes. However, since my computer upgrade, I've been attracted to games like Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead (<3 Valve), which have a whole lot more than Soldat.

Of course, they're in the 3D plane, whereas Soldat's only 2D, so you can't exactly make them competitors.

echo_trail · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2009, 05:11:58 am »

Sure, I play it every once in a while, but my ingame time has gone down a bit since the new version, mostly because I'm a strict realistic only player, and there aren't much servers up.

I used to play everday, now I play less and less. Studies and homework are getting harder and it's a bit too time consuming. Although still play it for fun and for warring, clans etc.

Not as often as I use to due to the lack of servers.

Nowadays I open Soldat to either give a test-run of a W.I.P. map or stop by eC TW.

Graham · « **Reply #29 on:** May 21, 2009, 09:09:41 pm »

I can't play like I want really. My connection is terrible so its always a hassle to get into a decent server. Until I get a better connection... no.

Actually there is a way to get playing time, whilst still using the same amount of time for studying- dont sleep so much.

2.5-3 hours of daily sleep at me, but i get once-twice a week ~7 hours sleep.
And i feel perfectly awesome.

I get alot of lag now when I play especially if someone else is using the internet too, downloading, browsin, watchin movies etc. It annoys me so much because I'm on the wireless and get like 300+ ping when I play sometimes and get kicked.

I'm sure you're telling the truth...

Anyway, lets face it guys. Soldat will slowing die out as another generation is born in a world with full 3D High Quality graphics and engaging worlds, maybe even VR. Years will pass. We will age. MM will die.

No matter how much we try, this is, or in a few years time, will be the largest the Soldat community grows. Think about it. If MM finds a better paying job, when Enesce starts doing something with his life: What will we do?

STM1993 · « **Reply #34 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:35:28 am »

I won't be surprised to know that, like games such as Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory and Little Fighter 2 (LF2), Soldat would still survive for simplicity and moddability. Every game will definitely die off one day, but some games are meant to last. Soldat is a good example of such. The only thing is that, it's currently not at a very stable condition.

How many bags of sugar and tanks of coffee do you drink daily?

Snow · « **Reply #43 on:** May 22, 2009, 10:24:02 am »

I try to play when I can, which is if I'm lucky, 5 hours over a full 7-day week. When you hit your 30's, responsibilities get in the way. I have to job hunt (fucking economy), because I have a 50% chance of being officially laid off. I'll be studying soon so that I can get my ticket to use a gamma-ray camera (a radioactive source - alternative to an x-ray machine). I may also go for a course in being a radiation safety officer. Money, bills, house, girlfriend, food, friends, partying and sex take a good chunk of my time as well. I also promised a Soldat inspired comic I'm working on - which is already a week late.

If I could, I'd play 5 hours minimum a day. My ideal life would be creating games, cartooning, learning to program (then programming) and playing Soldat each day. Course, I'd never give up partying and sex lol.

It's kind of strange in life, when you have a passion, it's easier to find something to do that is the exact opposite of that passion - in my case it would be boring or labor jobs. Grunt jobs are in abundance here. It takes blood, sweat and tears to work within your passion. The effort is worth it though.

Anyway back on topic... that is my excuse. No matter how little I get to play, I still love this game.

Probably some guy that was bored who wanted a little 2 second burst of fun. Then it was his bed time (8:30). Anyway, Soldat's getting a little dull. The only server that I find interesting is something like [EC] Official mod or something like that. Its like Hexer Mod, but your stuff doesn't get saved.

Its actually easier like that than say 3v3v3v1 or even 2v2v1 because they only get one point for killing you and you get one for killing them...and unless you suck you should be able to kill at least like 4 or 5. A survival ctf is better (on a normal map) cos you have to defeat them all to earn a point. Also, what's the bots eye sight level? And please tell my no blains or boogiemen (mans?).

But I hate bots cos of the path finding.

Right, but naming a server "Graveyard" would hopefully bring all the people we used to play with. And that was most of the fun.

I would join U13 server (INF) but barley no one passes by INF servers anymore I don't see many people join I wait but no one comes

I don't think anyone goes into U13 Inf anymore because the point system is bugged. So nobody is really able to play there.

I usually am on the Swedish Inf server or on the #FU Inf server. When nobody shows up, I go to Leo's rs
