Other Zones?

[Rion.]

Do you play any zones apart from Trench Wars?

Did you originally play other zones, and "migrated" to Trench Wars upon discovering it?

I've been playing Trench Wars pretty much exclusively for a bit over a year now, and I thought I'd have a look around. I've spent a bit of time in Death Star Battle, but the only thing that really attracts me there is the duelling.

I went to Extreme Games and found it interesting to watch them base, but I didn't have much fun playing it. Bullets are really short ranged which is annoying.

Metal Gear CTF is fun once in a while, but I quickly tire of it.

I only recently tried out the Alpha/Chaos zones though, and found them quite fun. It is my understanding that these are the zones where Subspace "all began", and it's interesting to see how different they are from Trench Wars.

Trench Wars completely ignores the upgrading/downgrading process of "greening", while it's quite important in these older zones.

There seems to be a lot less killing in them - Of course in Trench Wars it's one-hit-kill with most ships, so I suppose that's why.

I'm sure most of the ooold players were around before Trench Wars even came about and VIE was still alive or whatever... Maybe they could tell some stories. :turned:

Hockey Zone is an alright way to kill time. I also like mingling with the meth addicts in Extreme Games when I get bored.

Always played Trench Wars primarily. I've played a few other zones a few times, but most of them should just be TW subarenas.

I play Metal Gear CTF when I'm not stalking people

[iNgeNfyRe]

stalking people? were you the iNgeNtyRe i saw in pub? haha

i started out as a newb in one of the SVS zones

then i went to Space Duck Battles and pretty much owned the entire zone except my fellow SpaceLords squaddies

and when SDB died, i came to Trench Wars as iNgeNfyRe2 and erathia scooped me into A-S :turned:

Started for trenchwars, went to extreme games because it was faster and crazy. Was bored of it quickly and I headed back to TW. Then I went to Desert Storm. I liked that a lot, but then I saw they had a copy of arena of fishies. I realized I missed TW's arenas, especially zombies ^_^ so I headed back. Then in the summer, my comp broke and I couldn't really play ss at all :P.

I started with Trench Wars when I was a beginner seeing as it was the most popular, and I soon found comfort in the public arenas of the zone and no other zones could match up. I occasionally played T3G because it was pretty cool and Hockey Zone was good too. MG CTF is great but easily gets boring and DSB is pure crap.

On my zone list i have tw, Metal Gear CTF, DSB, and Extreme Games. DSB is boring now, MG CTF is getting boring, now I mostly play EG and TW.

ive tried every zone out there since 2000.

sadly, most of these zones encompass the range of gameplay found in one of TW's hosted events.

Different ship settings (EG) make for a nice change sometimes as well as some differing gameplay (warzone). Ground Control Warfare or whatever was fun when it became the first to incorporate the lvz settings with the sniper ship, tanks, etc., although it got old fast.

Metal Gear was fun for a bit, Chaos and Dueling arizona had a few good sandbox moments, but overall, other zones are pretty weak.

Honestly, the ship settings in TW may be considered "newb", but every ship has been perfectly balanced and each of them give you a totally different way to play the same game. They're so diversified just about every other zone pales in comparison.

Then you add the websites, leagues, events, bots, community, elim, and you basically have very little reason to visit other zones.

I like the occasional game of Metal Gear, a bit of Warzone (or ASWZ), or maybe some brackets or riot in EG, but that's about it.

I play TrenchWars 97.89% of the time. When I'm not playing TW I play Desert Storm, its pretty awesome there, its infantry.

[PrOnEsSim]

I'm trying to go other zones just cant find the right one, so far i like EG and The Guantlet!(sp?). Ill be alias when i find the right one(only for that zone, tho)

Started out in DSB for probably 6/7 months, then discovered TW & stayed for the past 2 years or so. Also play quite alot in Redstar aswell as a little EG.

[SpiderMage]

I played Metal Gear CTF for a couple months or so, I love the true capture the flag.

is redstar good?

[Epinephrine]

I started out in Alpha Zone... back then there were only SVS zones, as user-run zones were non-existant. Then I graduated to the much more competitive Running Zone, which to this day I would say was the best zone that Subspace has ever had, in terms of pure pub gameplay. Later played in Pro League, played a few weeks in Star Warzone, DSB and then found TW!
