On what version did you first play Wesnoth?

I haven't voted -- after all I played Wesnoth even before 0.1.

However, I believe there would be a few people around who played 0.1, even if they don't talk that much. I'm not sure if ettin played 0.1, but he did play a very early version.

I think Jetryl may have played earlier than that, since he emailed me with an attempt at a Li'sar portrait quite a while before joining the forum, and I think had already been playing for a while before emailing me the portrait.

0.7.something

Back before 'The rise of Wesnoth' was included, quite a bit back actually; before male/female units; back when it all looked very anime-ish and animations were only one frame (no death/healing ones either).

I didn't start trolling ... I mean, posting on the forum till quite a bit afterwards though.

P.S. That screenshot doesn't look great, but I can recognize the scenario and the units...

0.8.5 I think.

0.8.10 or something like (december 2004)

It might help if there were dates associated with the version numbers. I really wasn't paying much attention to the version when I started playing, but I know it was just about a year ago, sept/oct '04. I think that puts me in the 0.8 area, but that's just a guess.

Ah, here we go, courtesy of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, I can confirm that guess. And I can check out some goofy-looking old versions of the site.

0.8.5 or 0.8.7 - dunno

We need a larger sample! But it looks like most people started playing with 0.8.x. I guess that means people tend to join the forums 6 months after they start playing, and tend to leave after 12 months.

0.8 but I tried 0.4.5 and 0.6 and 0.7

My first MP was on 0.9.2

0.8.10 didn't really play it unitl 9.2 and joined the forums at 9.6

0.9.6 or 0.9.7 - that's what two months ago?

So I know almost nothing about the old stuff. Seeing the screenshots, I think early version of Westnoth wouldn't have seduced me the way it did.

IMO, even with a mere 54 samples, this begins to resemble a
beautifuly shaped Gauss error distribution curve

Plus we already by far exceeded the 12 sample minimum; OTOH, compared to 2996 registered users ...

We have a saying that goes like "never trust statistics that you didn't fake yourself"
