Get to know the community Week IV!

[Persuade]

Welcome all to week IV of "Get to know the community!!"


Last year we discussed what makes a game enjoyable to you, and what a joyous time we had indeed!

This week, we will be embracing our inner Warcraft desires to discuss what race we play primarily, and what ended up being the reason for this decision.

**Please note that the views of Persuade do not represent the views of FML as a whole, if someone is offended by my strange sense of humor please PM me personally and do not hold it against any other admins.

I started with undead in battle.net ,in around 2003, because i thought mass wyrms is unbeatable :D Then after switching to elf, i got humiliated by an orc so  i decided to switch to the stinky greenskins.

Understandable, Wyrms were actually pretty imbalanced back in the day.  I used to mass them as well when anti magic shield was spell immunity instead of the crap it is now.


Edit: PBM I accidentally did modify instead of quote -.- my bad!

Had tryed all other races, until I discovered how power build and tower(S) (RoC time) could help my lack of macro, how mass tp handles my forgetting buying scrolls, how tanks could solve my lack of micro, how invisibility could save my hero. Never changed after that.


and... Mk doing claps gave me funny feelings.

The year was 2003 and it was a hot and muggy summer night.  I was walking back from baseball practice when I caught something shimmer around a tree out of the corner of my eye.  When I looked over there though there was nothing there.

A few blocks later I heard this massive roar, and caught site of a bear galloping into the woods.  This obviously freaked me out quite a bit, but not nearly as much as the massive creature that flew over me chasing a wooden zeppelin.  At this point I started sprinting back towards my house, when out of the blue I felt something prick me and I started to feel faint and started running slower with green gas coming off my back.

I looked behind me to find this oddly beautiful creature running me down while trying to kill me and continually throwing spears at me.  As I crossed the railroad tracks I found a police station and ran towards it.  As I was about to open the door it opened on its own and a sketchy dwarf in a hood aimed a rifle at my head.

"You aren't welcome here boy" he said.  Pointing over my shoulder he growled; "those are your people now."

From then on, I was forever one with nature, and my elf brethren.

I started with NE bc my cousin was playing it and taught me how. After TFT i got introduced to Dark Ranger and started going DR archers rushing chims every game ftw. After awhile it got boring and I started playing other races and had a lot of fun, to a point where all I do is random now!

Yay Killin is back :)

I didn't play ROC that much, in TFT I started to play UD in AT with my pal

in solo I played Orc (after WCG 2004 there was no other choice!), but not much due to bad ping. That's when I started playing Random in bnet RT and played it ever since

[Ugri2]

I barely played roc.

I discovered TFT on a LAN with friends in 2002 I think. I didnt know how to play it at all so even if everyone was a big noob, I was the worst of all. I thought that I should focus on one race so I could fill the gap between them and I for the next LAN.

I picked up undead because it looked cool, no one was playing it at the lan so that would make me some kind of special (they were mostly orcs then ne/hu). Next LAN I did fine.

That was kind of my curse after, played too much undead so whenever I tried another race (did not do so before something like 2008 when i tried human a bit) I was falling years behind in term of skill and coul not compete with others players.

Also im bored with human (kinda slow); ne bores me a little less but still... orc is imba when someone else is using it but not when I do.

@Ugri

Roc came out Summer 2002, and TFT a year later July/August 2003.

And i also started "serious" playing after TFT was released, since i had no internet connection at that time.

[Ugri2]

that must have been 2003 i guess then... Unless it was ROC we played im not even sure ;)

(I always played FFA)
I was Random and decided to pick a race when I switched to TFT (I stayed in RoC way to long)
I picked UD because
1-The campaign ended with them
2-Mass garg was the single most imba thing in roc ffa (no orbs on hero, no bats, no air attack on tanks, no panda, etc)

I switched to HU after a while, because everyone was saying they had to tower in order to win, wanted to see if I could win with (almost) no towers

I switched to NE after a while, because no one in FML played it, and it was sad :(

I switched to HU recently, because I wanted to play a race that could actually win games
