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 just wanted to know how many people in the general discussion played DF.

This is a poll, but you can put answers in the comments as well.

You go from 'a long time' to recently without an interim.  I've been playing for a few years, maybe 4-6 month before I joined.

[Frumple]

For me, DF gets kicked on a few times a year, usually played regularly for a week or two then idles back down until it happens again. This is a pattern that has repeated since the game had no Z axis -- I've been playing longer than I've been on the forum

fixed a bug where a certain option wasn't visible

When I first joined, I played the crap out of it. Then I started modding. Then I got more and more involved in checking the boards. Now I only play it occasionally, but that's true for videogames as a whole.

Put your answer in the poll please!

... I did. Your fix shifted the answer up one, heh.

I started in late 2010, early 2011, but didn't register on the forums for a while.  I haven't booted up in a few months, but I'm looking forward to doing so soon.

[Baffler]

I played DF and lurked for almost a year before I signed up for the forums. While I still play it with some frequency, I don't do so nearly as often as I used to.

[Gunner-Chan]

Off and on. Mostly waiting this time for the updates to stop rolling out till next big version and for the cool mods to pop back up. I used to play it all day at college during boring classes though.

I have basically the same situation as Frumple, except I signed up a couple months after starting, started during late .34 era, and it's less "a few times a year" and more "once a month".

I've been playing for awhile (I put long time because it's been a long time compared to other games)
It is an amazing game

how many people in the general discussion played DF.

I started playing back in 2D, the age of "deeper" beihg "to the right." The days of one river, one chasm, and then stopping once you see adamantine, because if you dig into it your game just ends. So instead you played until somebody caught on fire and contagiously burned down every dwarf in the fort. Back when elephants were deadly, back when digging out too big an area meant a cave-in, back when it was difficult to survive your first winter and games ended because you died, rather than because the game simply gets so laggy that you get bored.

Good times.

After the switch to 3D I played a lot for several months, then adapted to the new changes and realized that the game had become fantastically easier than it used to be. So I played with mods for a while. Dig deeper was my favorite for quite a long time. Trying to figure out how to survive more than a couple seasons restored life to the game. But then, eventually I moved on.

Ever since DF 2010, I've found that the game evolves very slowly. Every year or two I load it up and check for changes. Play a few days, get bored.

[Donuts]

I began playing not too long after the .34 release, I believe. Still messing around with it, though not that often.
