I have been playing it for a very long time and I still play it.

I have been playing it for a while now.

I just recently started playing it.

I have been playing it off-and-on.

I tried it once, but never since.

I have never played it.

What does DF stand for?

I played for a pretty long time - got pretty darn good at it if I do say so. I stopped playing right around the release of 2014. The new trees and emotion system screwed me up a bit, and I had quite a few other games to get into. I mostly just play FTL now, but I keep looking at Dwarf Fortress thinking "when I get some seriously good chunks of time again I'm coming back". With all the new mechanics going on, I feel like i need to re-approach the game like it's brand new to learn everything.

I also want more then 200 dwarves because I can fit all those bearded bastard's homes, work, food and booze on one level, and I want an actual reason to build multi-story forts beyond "it looks pretty"

If you have the hardware, I'm pretty sure you can set the population cap above 200. Most people only ever push it down, but I don't see why it couldn't go up.

I tend not to play Dwarf Fortress for long periods of time usually so the changes hit me more profoundly.

Though the military update has sort of made the Fortress mode pretty much unplayable for me.
-This however I could learn and eventually surpass.

And the STUPID DANG ANNOYING UNFUN TERRIBLE BOOGYMEN have made Adventure mode unplayable for me... Ohh and the Rivers...
-YAY! I am forced to keep team members with me who pretty much beat encounters for me making the game boring... Ohh and lots of impassible rivers that might make me lose members? What fun!

And the insanely long world creation times have made the entire game unplayable for me.
-I am waiting for the update that kind of fixes this.

So as the game currently is.. it is unplayable for me.

If world creation takes over 30 minutes you're doing it wrong or your computer is really low-end, make smaller worlds and shorter histories.

The bogeyman.
It's terrifying.
It was inevitable.

I think world creation will only get more and more complex and getting longer to finish.

I throw my popcap to 500 in earlier versions, but now I go with 300 strict.

I always play but sometimes I get a break from the forums, you could say I withdraw from society, but my SDT are kind of "meh".
My longest hiatus was during a month when I got my first job, I couldn't bring myself to do anything.

On and off.  I lost my last fortress because I wanted to see how tough clowns were for the first time.  It turns out they are pretty tough.

I think what had me return to DF has to be the update of assigning designation priorities. It made organizing my projects a crapton easier to handle, as well as prioritize deconstructions of scaffolding and such so I don't have to worry about losing workers by AS. I never expected to be able to finish my grand dining hall within a reasonable span of time. Doing similar for woodcutting also helps a bit too; just in case it's too dangerous at the moment to chop down an area; or to redirect attention elsewhere without needing to burrow.

9. There is nine of us playing DF.

Edit: Just realized I might've accidentally necroed this thread. Sorry if that's the case.

'S been a long time. But I have fond memories. DF is a game like Skyrim for me - if I let myself get sucked in, I'll be stuck for a long stretch. Sadly, I cannot indulge.

... where'd you get the 9 from? A full 80 of the 87 respondents play.

Hehehe.

I play Df as well, if I haven't said so already.

[FArgHalfnr]

Haven't played in a while. Last time I tried I got stuck at learning how to use the military menu. I'll probably need to read a guide again if I want to have any chance at surviving.
