When did you start playing KAG and how did you find it?

I also watched it on good game so if I did not watch that one episode I would not even know about this game :D

 

Yeh, but I remember an admin shutting the thread down because it "had no importance" or something.

First thing I found searching. On Google.

 

Totalhalibut. In fact I am watching one of his mailboxes as I am posting this.

 

Edited thread title and merged both threads together.

I found out about kag, believe or not, through a random google search of "King Arthurs World" which lead to that site that contrary found out from.

 

I've only been playing for a few months but my boyfriend showed it to me. When we first started he wasn't so sure it would be my "cup of tea" because I had made similar comments before. After a few games (and getting a few kills) I found that I really enjoy it.

 

I found KAG when Notch mentioned it in his Twitter account (which I no longer bother to check). This was around a week or two before catapults were added in, so there was only the gold rush gamemode where the team with the most builders won. Skybridges were VERY common. Knights were moving castles with their shields being impenetrable. I also remember a LOT of archer volleying because archers could shoot so fast. People always complained about how good they were at short-range.

 

Now that the thread name has changed, I found about KAG when darDar or somebody else linked to it in MM's blog, speculating if it was his game since it had irrlicht.dll in the folder. (lol?)

 

I am ashamed to say how I found it, I looked up terraria clone, tested it, fell in love.
Been playing since the week of release.

 

I dont remember when I started playing... I did discover KAG since I frequent MM's blog, following on his progress on Link-Dead... Planned to buy into the alpha and try that out, but since LD cooled down I started to wonder why, then I saw a little kinghty icon above and I got curious and clicked it and was redirected to the KAG website... after some difficulties getting my account to work I bought the game a few days afterwards...

And I realised I already posted in this thread already, how silly of me. oh well at least I posted a wee bit more details this time.

 

I found it on Total Biscuit's Youtube channel when he featured it a couple of months back (Octoberish I think).

 

Yeah and you totally pull the rug out from under me when you're stacking up 50/10 k/d ratios nearly every game and that was before you got over your fear of using bombs. It's a dark day when your girlfriend can outshine you in a video game, but it's not entirely my fault. I blame the Asian blood. It gives you an unfair advantage and the ability to do anything better than anyone.

I found out about this game at indiedb.com

 

i found kag when i was sifting through games on desura and saw it was modeled after king arthurs world which was a childhood passion... still own it... anyway love the game

 

Around the beginning of December last year I was so bored with all the games that I was playing at the time that I started looking for something new to play...so I went to youtube and searched something along the lines of "multiplayer swordfight, this week" and saw Kag. I didn't try it until like a week or two later, but when I actually started playing it I loved it. :)

 

There was a thread on /v/ months ago talking about the game. Of course, being /v/, everyone started shouting "VIRAL MARKETING! VIRAL MARKETING!" despite the fact that the game is free to play.

So I tried it out. Never looked back.

/v/ may be a putrid sea of boners and people who take video games way too seriously, but occasionally a gem finds its way to page 1.

 

Can't believe I didn't post here yet.
Found the game on IndieDB back in September
Came here to grief ended up actually playing the game.

/v/ likes anything but videogames. I remember there was a thread arguing about hexagons.

 

I remember when I used to think KAG was being made by Derek Yu, because he had posted about it/mentioned it on TIGsource or something. Also because Spelunky and KAG share the same chibi-retro style graphics.

Also, if I ever get a server of my own up and running, one of the first things I want to do with it is host a Classic KAG event, in which we can reminisce and play build 40 or something for a few days (that is, if it's even possible to host older versions).

 

I actually started playing back when it was in the 220s, build wise. Not that that makes me particularly old in the environment, but it should be noted that I came on board with a wave of /v/irgins from 4chan. It's been a pretty good experience so far, and despite people thinking that /v/ is full of assholes and griefers it's been fun.
