How many online gaming communities have you been part of? - looqas - 09-02-2009
I was wondering about my "gaming career" in general and being part of a gaming community, i.e. a forum and such around one game. Gamers are like real nomads, wandering from title to title and from community to community. So count yours and answer. I would define being part of a community when you are playing on-line and most importantly have joined a forum of the said game and been part of that. And please tell the others a bit of history too...
If I remember correctly I started my gaming communities journey with America's Army. I was there for a about 6 months. Posting away happily. That's my first real touch with a gaming community. Of course it being a rather punishing FPS the witch hunt for cheaters was the big thing. And there I learned the valuable lesson that anyone can pretend to be anyone in the internet. And also saw how sick and perverted some people can be seeking for acceptance and recognition. And it's there I got to detach myself and be cynical about people in the net. A good internet and forum school I'd say! :)
Then I moved on to Battlefield 2 which evolved to 2142. I count them as two different communities since I stopped playing BF2 when I went over to 2142.
And then it's Disco.
So 4 here.

I've been gaming for a long time now, but this is the first time I've got wrapped up in the forum side of the community.
So just the 1 for me.
I'd say I was a virgin, but that would be a lie.

You really are going around Tena. You are no one game man I guess.;)

I was formerly part of Vanguard gaming community, one of the greatest bunch of peeps I've been it. (Another FL community)
Then Void... gah.
And then Disco. Ah, my HA5 and Vanguard years are far behind me... >.<

I've been on the internet for about 4-5 years, I've played many games... posted in many forums. But this is the first time I've every really felt like I'm part of the community. I've only ever had a post count above 1000 once before, and I've only played two other games for longer than a year. But in both of those games I contributed very little to the community, staying off in my own segregated little group with my own friends.

Only this one. No need to move on when you find perfection the first time.
