Hello.
Since 2d, Boatmurdered pulled me right into it.

i had a "Game Depression".
No Games with substance, everything felt "shallow", it was like in the picture with casual/hardcore/dwarf fortress.

I remember the first 2 days.
Tested it, deleting it...5 Hours later i downloaded it again.
Then i began to understand the symbols...and i began to "see".

Dying in the first Winter...setting up my first farm...good times.
I can't wait for the next releases.
Every new Version makes the Game better, but i really wish we had some sort of 2d Mode, like the old days, i miss that a little.

Sorry for my bad English, not my first language, i hope you understand some of my gibberish.

I've started playing a week or so before the update with aimed attacks in adventure mode. I think that update was 0.31.18

I picked it up shortly after Boatmurdered was posted. I only played in 2D for a few months, then put it down and bided my time until DF3D came out. Then... I played an unholy everloving shitload of this game. For a short time, Minecraft pulled me away, but it got stale really quick. DF didn't so I'm back yet again. I only wish this game had multiplayer of some kind, but I myself admit I wouldn't know how to do that.

Or maybe there's a god who's just completely insane and sends you to Detroit, Michigan in a new body if you ever utter the name "Pat Sajak".

I've been around so long that I'm pretty sure I played the first couple of versions, stopped for a while, started playing df_27_169_33a (oldest version that I can still find on my computer, although it got corrupted.), stopped for a while again then started playing a lot more once 40d first came out.

Think of it like Sim City, except with rival mayors that seek to destroy your citizens by arming legions of homeless people and sending them to attack you.

I've only read like, 2 pages of boatmurdered.  Not sure why I never bothered to read more.

I first heard about the game when I found 3 panel soul(maybe?  Perhaps a different webcomic) and read through the archive.  Some of them were about DF.  I believe I started playing in like, September of 2009, because I remember playing it a little, and following the development prior to 31.01.  I think I've always been more interested in how the game grows than actually playing it, since I've never had a fort last more than a few years before I abandon it to try something new.  Adventure mode suits me better.

Yeah, that happens sometimes.  ;)

I started playing sometime during 40d. The game was 3d, but I think I remember one or two updates happening before the current version. This leads be to believe that I started playing just before the drought happened. Or, possibly just after.

I first started playing fortress mode sometime in 2008. The first big update I remember is the one that allowed you to designate more than one wall at a time, or something like that.

If we're talking about when I first heard about Dwarf Fortress, well, that was in a long dead forum, shortly after the first public release. People were complaining about the GUI, and how it made no sense. I thought to myself "well, that sounds annoying. Not for me." What a fool I was, etc.

Just before 0.31.01 came out, so about a year.

I was thinking more along the lines of this legendary champion, all clad in dented and dinged up steel plate, his blood-drenched axe slung over his back, a notch in the handle for every enemy that saw the swing of that blade as the last sight they ever saw, a battered shield strapped over his arm... and a fluffy, pink stuffed hippo hidden discretely in his breastplate.

Since 40d. Around early 2009 perhaps? Sometime just before the vets started to reminisce about the good old regular-update days. The pace of change since .31 has been a bit of a shock (:
