When you first downloaded this gane..

[Ewan]

Were you expecting it to take a hold on your life as much as it has?

I know I downloaded it cause I was bored, I went on to downloads.com and had a look at the popular games. Most were either patches, demos, benchmarkers or DirectX. There was one that caught my eye though... "SubSpace, Multiplayer space shooter".

I thought that it looked interesting and would probably cure my boredom for that day. Little did I know...

i just play it when i'm bored. i'm not really addicted. i only really logon now to play twbds or twjds, or to say hello

Short story into how I found this game and zone, I think I was 14 at the time and 'hanging' in a chatroom with my regular peers when one DCC's me a game that all us users can play togethor, (how exciting to be a part of something for once), so it finishes downloading and we try it out. I suck shit at it. But to the point it was probably the first and last I played it for a while. Then a while later I was bored, saw subspace on my Desktop so I figure I'll go on it. I open the crack, open the client, go into DSB and the crack isn't working. I do a ?help, they tell me to download this new client called Continuum, so I do so. Eventually I am zone hoping and I arrive in Trench Wars, I don't know if I would have stayed if it wern't for discovering British Squad (so blame them). So that's pretty much it, and to answer your question 'Were you expecting it to take a hold on your life as much as it has?' Definitly not. I have a phase of some activity for a month or so then something else, I thought this was just another phase but apparantly not.

I found it on download.com when I was bored. I couldn't get in though because SubSpace 1.35 was more popular than the version of Continuum at the time accordign to download.com.

I got introduced by a buddy, he explained it was addicting so I knew going in. I was only really addicted for a shrot while though, and I play once a month or so now.

warportal and pollux_ got me into this game. They kept talking about "ships who can carry other ships on their back" and "bullets bouncing and bouncing all over the screen". So I tried it and hey...i'm still here.

[Mulkero]

I started hanging at Abyss' place and I watched him playing and tried it a couple of times too. I had no internet connection at that moment but once I got one, first thing I did was downloading Continuum.

i got introduced to it by a guy from a different mesageboard, called Modslashxp3. i think he still plays sometimes and is on evolve<d>

My friend introduced me to it and tbh I didn't like it, not untill I found trenchwars. I didnt have enough skill to play in arenas like t3 (and tbh, I still dont). I don't play that often just now and again some days to pass the time, thou I do sometimes hang around it at weekends for events.

[Jason]

my neighbor introduced me to the game. he used to play under the name yOnKiNaToR way back when. been here, on and off, since i was 12. nine goddamn years of you people and your bullshit. no wonder i'm such a chipper fellow.

[Denon]

I'd actually been programming my own Spaceship Game at the time, then I found "Subspace 1.34" on entensity.net, downloaded it & couldn't believe it was just how I wanted my game to be. I deleted all my source code & began to let the addiction take hold.

[cundor]

That's funny

[Kolar]

My brother Ender got it off of one of his friends back in 98, been playing since then. I don't see it taking up a good portion of my life, if I didn't have SS then I'd probably be wasting my time on WoW or some other games.

I picked up the VIE box from a bargin bin sort of deal for a couple bucks in late 2000 (the unoffical guide that came in the offical box actually made it worth it). I played it off and on until I started working at McDonalds closing during high school when it became addictive in the wee hours after work.
