</div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> (Elderwyrm @ Feb 20 2004, 05:38 PM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'> I first found NS from a blurb on PHL somewhere around June of 2002. I came to the site and read abit about it then I immediately moved to the forums. I lurked for nearly a week reading "Tales from the Frontlines" (A thread where playtesters told stories from the original 1.0 playtests.) I signed up on the forums a little after that and then patiently waited for release like everyone else. NS came out on Halloween and I've been playing ever since.

Whats your NS history?  </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> 
Hahahaha I read the same blurb! First map was the old eclipse, then nancy. My comp couldn't handle it though and got 9 fps so I couldn't play until I got a better one. A year later in fall I got a new comp and started playing 2.0.

I was at a LAN party and a friend showed me the site, and I later downloaded it when it was released.

rennex · February 2004

Played DoD at the time, heard about it on PHL, read the manual, got interested, played.

MrGunner · February 2004

I started playing around 1.03 with a bunch of guys I used to play AQ2 with. Hey Jmms long time no see. You camp ****!

ZiGGY · February 2004

I read about it about a week before 1.0 release, couldnt actually get a working mirror for a couple of weeks though! I wasnt really playing games at that point, I was going to phase out of it and do well in school, then it came and destroyed my life <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Wuked · February 2004

Same old story

playing counter-strike one day, someone says " play ns " - so we do
never go back to cs

end of story

bring back v1.04 !

Evo · February 2004

As I recall, I saw a post on a gaming newssite somewhere about Natural Selection 1.0 being released on Halloween (a few days after when I saw the post). I wasn't really playing much else then, so I figured i'd check it out. So I did. And it was fun!
Unfortunatly I can't claim the same kind of devotion to NS as most of you... I tend to wander in and out of NS, as great of a game as it is. First time, I hung around from 1.0 to 1.04 (or whatever), and then vanished off to other games. When I caught wind of 2.0, I snuck back in to give it a shot. Played it for a bit (and thru several betas), and then got distracted by something else. Came back AGAIN for 2.0x, but didn't stick around long. Then when I heard 'bout NS 3.0, I came crawling back yet again. Downloaded it and loved it, as always! Played it pretty much exclusively, right up until recently. Unfortunatly, when the UT2004 demo hit I took off again (sorry guys, but im a UT man before i'll ever be a HL man <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' />). Right now i'm having a total blast playing UT2004.. all i've been able to do NS wise is lurk these forums. But hey, I might be back again before UT2004 hits. When it does... chances are i'll be gone for a looooooooong time. So much gaming goodness! And the mods! Oh boy i'm excited already! But probably no time for NS <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />. But hey, I never know when i'll get the itch and wander by again. Probably at least every new major release, if only to check things out again. And hey, if theres ever an NS2, i'll be there too! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Dats my little story anyways.

NeonSpyder · February 2004

umm.... i was playing rather frequently at an internet cafe (all kinds of games) and i spot this new icon on the desktop with this cool little picture of this weird alien thing, so i ask the owner "wth is that.. a new game?" and he's like "yes" so i click it, 5 minutes later im dropping oc's and res towers in a hallway on eclipse, (eclipse is still my favourite map btw) it was around oct 2002 or whenever 1.0 was released, but unfortunatly i drifted away, (moved to australia!) in december that year, and didnt pick ns up again until i got my computer up again, (like, march <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /> ) and played 1.04 until now... constantly.. everyday.... saving up money to send to my god mr.flayra and playing a game that we all love <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Insane · February 2004

It was some pictures of what I think was Bast on PHL (the EM Drill Shaft I think) that I saw around December '01. Thought it looked like hot stuff, so I had a quick look but then promptly forgot about it.

Some pictures of Nothing in May of '02 (again on PHL) rekindled my interest, and I joined the forums. I've been here ever since.

juho · February 2004

My little brother found NS from somewhere (I don't know how). I saw him playing it (It was somewhere 1.02 - 1.03 time) and my first attention was "blah. CS is much better".
Then about 30 sec later "please, let me try some!" and here I'm now =)

Cereal_KillR · February 2004

I don't remember, someone showed me a link pre-release, and I just decided to follow it, without ever thinking it would be my #1 hobby.

Hah, well here I am <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif' />

Firewater · February 2004

I read about it a few days before release, I remember my friend telling me about it too, he got me hooked.

Funny thing is I told the same friend a year before that if an RTS/FPS came out I would probably be one of its best players.

Interesting to say the least.

Hand_Me_The_Gun_And_Ask_Me_Again · February 2004

I found out about it (in Dec 2001?) while nattering to Merkaba in the Valve ERC's IRC channel. He had some really impressive screenshots (weird curly corridors), and I was intrigued. I eventually got round to registering on the new forums, made one (very minor) suggestion for ns_nothing (my name's in the readme!), and have generally hung around ever since.

I have a few bits of an NS map hanging around still - search for 'ns_sugarlump' if you're interested. I've been too busy working on Nightwatch, which has still offered me a view into the innards of NS (second-hand, admittedly). <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

MrMojo · February 2004

He's dissing you, failure! Quick, hit and run.

I heard about NS in Pc Gamer quite some time before the release, it was something to do with an HL mod expo.

UGLAndrew · February 2004

Saw a news post about it, on PHL, lurked the forums never joining, up, saw the release date, downloaded it, the second it was released, been playing it ever since. join the clan scene in 1.02

Jezpuh · February 2004

I saw it in the serverlist and wanted to try it out. And got hooked <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' />

Zazi · February 2004

I first heard of NS from Manah in December '01 or January '02... I can't remember which month... heh... So Manah roped me in to mapping a few things and to help him with little bits of ns_caged. 'twas fun indeed... Anyway, I hung around the IRC channel and finally registered on the forums in May. Whee.

Forlorn · February 2004

DL'ed 1.00 on the day of it's release, because some of my friends in the FA clan scene told me about it.

I played it, joined a clan by 1.02, [ECK], it died, I lost interest in 1.04, but when 2.00 came out it fixed a lot of problems with the game I couldn't stand and I got hooked back into the game.

meb · February 2004

what's NS?

ElvenThief · February 2004

Tycho from PA linked it about a year before 1.00 release and I checked out the website and thought "man I'd like to play this. Too bad it's not out yet."
I completely forgot about it until 2 weeks before release and Tycho had linked it up again.
I joined the forums for some tech support on running a server behind a crappy router that was the cause of my problems mid-November, but already had a few guys hooked on it that started a clan with me. Since then, I've stuck around <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Turkey2 · February 2004

Was a CS junkie. Read about it on something awful. Being a fan of starcraft (read the SA review its pretty funny) I thought I'd give it a try. Downloaded it and set it up on a lan with a friend. We played 1.04 eclipse for about an hour. Finally joined a server later playing custom maps and basically **** off a bunch of people for being a noob. Fun times.

DC_Darkling · February 2004

I was to good at HL, I had seen to much mods then can be good for you and I was currently into ESF. (still am)

yet I heared mroe about NS on HL forums and desided to download it. The teamwork (which was clearly there in the 1.04 days) was great and building ruled. I played a few months on 1.04 and then 2.0 came out.

Clashen · February 2004

I actually read about it in SuperPLAY, then 1.04 was just released. But I started to play serious when 2.0 came out.
