How long have you been playing Civ3 for?

[Turner]

Just kinda curious. This game is almost 7 years old, and still going strong. So, how long have you been playing for?

For myself, since Feb 02.

 

[Sashie VII]

Since mid-2002, only slightly over 6 years.

One of the best discoveries in my short life

 

[Knickers]

3 years on and off I think, brilliant game!

 

[Zefyrinus]

For long, but I have no idea how long. Maybe 6 years?

 

[Argetnyx]

i justr started about this time last year, and im already a pro

 

[Lord Emsworth]

Wait a second. I need to look at my join date first. *Hits submit*

ETA: OK, I started playing Civ3 a few weeks before I joined CFC. That have should been then since about July/Agust 2005.

 

[Argetnyx]

i just found this website last summer, so my join date has nothing to do with when i started playing

 

[Virote_Considon]

Either '02 or '03, I'm not sure which...

 

[Aabraxan]

Between 2 and 3 years.

 

[Optional]

About 2 years for me. No experience with Civ1 or 2. I played a bit of Heroes of Might and Magic before, but that sums up my game playing.

When did it come out that is how long, day 1.

 

[Quintillus]

A few months over 5 years for me. Had never heard of it until I saw it in the store when looking for Age of Mythology, and decided to get Civ3 instead. A good decision! I did eventually get Age of Mythology, but never played it anywhere near as much.

Since it came out. I can still remember visiting the Fraxis website every Friday to see which civilizations they were featuring that week, and then the annoyance when I found out it was coming out later in the UK than the US. It was probably the first game whose development I followed on the Web, there have been too many since

 

[schizerbone]

I started playing the first week it came out. I still can't play past Regent...lol.

 

[CarthageFTW]

About 6 months after it came out. Funny thing is I got into civ2 AFTER civ3 and found its till intreasting. (mostly b/c i lost my civ3 complete cds awhile back and was confied to civ2)

 

[mr_lewington]

I think 6 years ago sounds right, still a noob at it though

 

[Hardin]

I got it on the release date although I still don't play on any difficulty over Regent. I don't really remember why I got it because I don't play a whole lot of turn based strategy games. I think it was because I liked SMAC so much.

 

[anaxagoras]

I answered five, but it might be six. I got it when it was relatively new. C3C wasn't out yet, at least not on Mac. You do the math. It has had the longest run of any computer game I have ever played regularly (unless you count online Diplomacy).

 

[darski]

I started in 2001 . We had been a Civ family from the 1st edition. I remember the joy of "Ode to Joy" with a good graphics/sound card. since we had played all the ones that came before, we got III when it came out. I too have not progressed in the rankings. When I got Complete I had to go backwards from regent to warlord... (((sigh)))

 

[Taras Bulba]

feels like 1 year, almost 2 now.... although it might be 2 years almost 3.

well... almost 2ish years...
