Where did you learn about Mount & Blade?

Just curious, as a newcomer it took some fancy Youtube videos to convert me into buying an older game.

Played the demo of the original Mount & Blade on steam, then i bought that after loving it for so long (about 8 months after release) only to find out a new one was being released (again through steam) and i have had it since release and played way way way too many hours

Played the game back before it had multiplayer. Or at least before I knew it had multiplayer. Probably... 5 years ago? I've only recently learned about c-rpg, and by recent, I mean within the last year or whenever it was that I joined. I've been hooked since.

Look at video/Pics on steam  It look bad ass so i bought it.

I never really heard much about Mount & Blade before a few friends started playing it. They were really into NW and talked about it, kinda sad I didn't pick it up sooner because it's such a great game then you add in the multiple mods and it's worth every penny. Keep 'em comin guys!

Fallen_Tsu(Miralay) told me everything about Mount and Blade first, then Warband and cRPG   

Hail Miralay

I watched few youtube videos and tried to search a multiplayer mode where you can level up your character. The only reason why I didn't start earlier than I eventually did (over 1 and a half year ago) was cause I couldn't find the "Download" button... The website was still using the extremely early mode.



EDIT: this is how I discovered c-rpg

My friend saw it on steam and showed me it, i thought it looked pretty bad but i still downloaded it and loved it, when i later heard of warband being released with multiplayer in it i knew i had to get it since that was the only thing the game lacked imo.

Surprisingly, when I was looking for Warband mods to play I didn't immediately find anything I figured would be worth playing, then I googled for some and came across this. http://www.alteredgamer.com/mount-and-blade-warband/103115-the-top-5-best-warband-mods/

I thought that adding RPG aspects to multi-player would be lame but it turned out to be pretty cool.

Was playing age of chivalry wen a fellow player mentioned the first sequal was coming out, after a few months after the release i got ma hands on a crack version of it then bought the expansion 2 months after the beta.

That's where my first experience with combat similar to Mount&Blade came from, I played Half Life 2's AoC mod for a bit, eventually I tried luring friends to play it with me but said it was far clunkier than M&B. A decent mod but it was really let down by the Half Life 2 engine.

Was looking at Rome total war vids on you tube saw the original and decided to give it a go. Have never looked back as I have been looking for this game for a long time having used to have to make do with "Dynasty warriors"  I cant even look at that game now!

[no_rules_just_play]

the demo where you could play only 30 (in game) days was sooo awesome

Okin made a post about it in the total war forums years ago. It was version 0.750.. when I bought it.
