On one hand I pitty this community soley based on their option to limit their gameplay experience...However, on the other hand I can respect they've been playing TvT on 2 maps for...10+ years?

awsome

I wonder if there will be an SC2 demo community as well. Probably depends on what goodies the demo will have.

All the naysayers don't know about the tight knit SW community. I've been gaming with some of these dudes for over 10yrs.

And to all those who say "Buy BW it's only $10...etc", most of us had BW, and still came back to SW. It's all about the community, the same guys who played this over the years, and kept coming back for more.

Hi guys! I was just reminiscing and thought about searching TL and here it is, a SW (shareware) thread!

Those were the good old days I miss.

Spent 6 hours + on that demo, creating clans, tournaments, chatting n just having fun.

If you guys don't believe me, you can check my clan members list: http://www.angelfire.com/scary/swkclan/members.htm
http://www.angelfire.com/scary/swkclan/index2.htm (ignore the serious news updates lol)

Yesss that many people played SW, that's only one out of many dozens of clans.


Shout out to anyone who remembers me. If your out there reading this, HOLLA!

ps: I do play SC2 from time to time. Right now on SW, 1hr... nobody to be seen

Not about being expensive. It's all about the experience. The crowd that used to gather on there was magical.

It's good to hear such tight-knit community still persists. Makes me nostalgic about the TL community several years ago.

I assume you are not eager to sell this, but I'm willing to pay for a copy. Anyone?

Heeey, wassup SoldierSWK! Yah, scsw is dead, but soooo many great memories, had bw but still played shareware... my re-made on @USWest l.am.CaNaDiaN. scsw stats 1299-79-29 live on, on my bw's @USEast acct ... damn koreans. U can usually find me in op triviahost on East. For the longest time there was a Jesus-Loves-You bot in StarCraft ShareWare USA-1 channel West, but not a lot of action there. Some people did come, but couldn't figure out the UDP/firewall configuration thing. I helped a LOT of ppl thru the years

I play UMS only, on the days I do play - it varies with the time of day, weekends are better, kept my account alive, all these years.

Wow, StarCraft Demo... I remember downloading that on my old 33.6 modem, it took 8 hrs overnight on dialup, back when Napster was all the rage. There was a byways x4 mod, and the EZloader... and zap.to/moh ...Wow, i still remember that...militia of hades, way back in my term-inator days. And up3, and up4. Way before I gave away my illy .|.am.CANAD|AN. and before the DaRk. clan... those were great days

Thank you so much for the massive UMS maps file, just upgraded my firewall/antivirus, and utorrent is not playing nicely together any more... hopefully, it hasn't affected my ability to host sc/bw games... tho, after Apr 2014 XP support officially sunsetted, I'll have to get my W7 machine back to life...

About to drop another blast from the past.

I'm so happy to see some of you are still around and playing. I'm Z-Bahamut / MaGNuS]SwK[. I used to play with Jesse(roseart) , Z-marines , Z-sinister , newbieshizzz, blues.exe , shala, omnipresent, kursed, liminality, Eric(goliath), leetz and likemy

I'm sure there's a ton more, however thats what i got off the top of my head. Wasn't as old school as some of you or even close to the same skill level BUT the chat and just learning how to play from some of you was GREAT.

ps: i want to be a teenager and just play sware and push F11 all day again. memories.
