Xillix,

I never downloaded v.3.20. I refuse to re-download the game. I'm actually waiting for one of the programmers to get off their bums and upload those files, one of these days... :'(

IIRC (but I frequently don't) and I've been playing since version 0.3.006 the updater when it was working was used for incremental style updates not full client upgrades.

Also of course the size of the files downloaded will be similar whether full client download or updater, so the only person you're really hurting is yourself

IIRC, the Windows installer compresses files a little tighter than ZIP, if possible. Doesn't it use LZX as compression algorithm (LZSS with a much bigger search window than just 32 KB, as used in PKZIP)? So the installer can even be smaller than a full update.

I used to play during every waking moment, but lately I just have other stuff I do. I'm lucky if I play at all during a week, though if I do I am generally on for about two-three hours. So I just put less than one for average.

Good turnout to the poll so far. Once I was allowed to play, now they make me do stuff :(

 Though I normally live in PS  ;)

I would find even more time..but...It gets harder at times and ..at times...it seems the interest is in making PS more "pretty"..than "Playable"..but I will not stop tring to put in as much time as my awakened hours allow  :)

I go "in game" to test and look at stuff, but play? Not really, anymore. :)

Sadly work eats up a lot of my leisure time these days, and the weekend is pretty much all I have at the moment, however I do rather enjoy a few hours over saturday-sunday just to see what's going on.

At least I have the energy and time for IRC most evenings,  :thumbup:

I'll admit it, I'm an adict.  :P
I play usually around 16-20 hours each week. Monday-Fridays about 2 hours a night and then usually 8 hours on the weekends. I can't help it, I've got nothing better to do.

Usually, I play 0 hours.  Sometimes I'll play a couple hours, but not often.  I prefer spending my sparse free time coding, helping out around my preferred distro's forum, or making a little money with occasional linux-related jobs.  The rest of my time is spent in bed, in class, in transit, and, when doing homework, either in trance or in pain...

I do like watching PS grow though, and do want to play more than I do.  But it will have to wait until I have more time.  Mostly I play it during Christmas breaks.  I might play more next summer too, since I probably won't spend it at my dad's internet-less farm like I usually do.

Shame on you, Xordan, and all Zeroers. :P Especially developers must play. How else should they feel if they do something valuable?
If players complain, we have done something valuable. If they complain a lot, we have done something really valuable. If they don't complain, we should really start working on something valuable :P

I've just been coming back from about 2 months of not playing at all. But this last week I"ve already logged 20 hours on the thing. I voted 8-16 to be safe, but when I first started, it was definitely Planeshift tucking me into bed every night. It's all I did for a month.  On a side note, if part of your RP is to not wear armor around everywhere [I'm a merchant not a fighter] then never leave for more than 2 months. You come back and no one knows you and they all think you're a newb. Anyway, have fun playing guys.
