How many games have you played on TW MP?

That's simply incredible. If STW was released in 2000, and MI server went down in 2004, let's say four full years as a generous estimate. 365 x 4 is 1460 days. That means you played an average of over 34 games a day, everyday, for four years, to play around 50,000 games total. I started playing MI a lot in Sept 2003 and never saw you, so that means you played those 50K games in even less time. Truly amazing.

I figure I played maybe an average of 5 games a day, four days a week, for about a year in MI. So say 20 games a week average for a year--just over a thousand games or so in MI. I can't really remember how often I played VI. I started after VI came out and played until maybe six months after RTW was released. Maybe about the same number as MI.

I had a break at that time and played 7/24, at those times 1v1 was a lot more played than today, the game was very quick and if you played properly, you had surely 5-6 games a hour.
Mag and me also played tons of 2v2, many times we had a high pace in those games.

In MI i had a break of about 6 months, i played NWN at that time. Anyway, its just a guess based on my logfiles i saw in the folder.

edit: i remember goals, like more than 30 names in top 100, and i brought many names in top20 in less than a day, by playing 80-100 games.
Problem was the early european times, when only 5-7 people was online. You had to play same people over and over again.

Hard to say, since many years are gone, i remember "thejudge" a player who was using a frontal Monk-gun army all the time, it took me less than 5 mins to win the game. It was always totomi and i bet the quickest battles was 2 mins. I also remember Lordted with his 1k games, thats was also an amazing way to get many games in a short time.

Hard battles was only vs camper or real good player, than a game took longer. You cant compare that with today.
You played only MI or also STW? If you never played STW, go and try it, the speed in STW was a lot higher than in MI.
