Title: Open Arena Gaming Frequency!
Post by: Logan on June 09, 2010, 03:03:43 AM
I'm just curious how often the users here play the game they are chit chatting about.  ::)

I personally play every day, but it really depends on how many players are around.

VOTE It's SO FUN!  ;D

Ya, I know what you mean.

You've got your devs and such who are quite active here but you never see them in the servers online.

Then you've got the guys you run into online ALL the time, but not a single post here at the forums.

I usually play daily and it is often FFA since that seems to be the only mode people like to play and are on a lot. I do every once and awhile play CTF but it is at weird hours because I lag like hell on the only populated CTF server (Normal Z) and when I go on late at night or early morning the lag is less. Oh and if anyone is thinking about starting a server maybe make it a duel server because duel is fun to play and there is only one I can go on and not lag like hell also just wonder am I the only USA player?

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

I chose Several time daily. I usually play afterwork for an hour and come back an hour later.
I actually look around seeing if players wanna learn how to play. So, if you're interested, i dont mind teaching. :)

I play about 2 to 3 times a week, but I'd like to play more often.

This is not so easy to answer. Right now its OANAGE but thats only if people are playing there. With NA players its usually whatever server has alot of people at night in american time will be the full one. There usually is no set server.  :P

Well, I can't really narrow my frequency to the options presented. I play usually once a week. Now, with some time off, I get to play ever day. Before I got a job I played often (few times a day). I play whenever I can and whenever I'm motivated.

@bane:  I'm also in the US.  I play on any server that has a low ping and fun maps/game types.  I've been  on "ARLE'S 'OUTER HEAVEN'" a lot, lately.

I play a few quick 1vs1 games (fraglimit 13 timelimit 5) against some (usually 2 or 3) CPMA bots every day, and some 1vs1 or FFA online (names 7, zaymzik, okki, combatgrrl, gasolina ...) once or twice a week. I think I play for an average of about 35 minutes a day (and no I'm not gay, the grrl names are about my playing style: mostly defensive with sudden and unpredictable outbursts of aggression  :-X).

Well, so far, a lot more daily votes than I expected. Nice to see.

I'm still playing daily, for about a half hour or so at Digichalk 0.8.5
