Where did you learn about Mount & Blade?

[Shemaforash]

Sadly I don't remember why I found out about the game.

I remember I did download the old beta demo from the talesworld site when you could only reach lvl 6.

Then buyed it after 2 weeks of non-stop arena fight!

This game was so fresh and no one beat it even today. 

Exactly same here.

A friend told me and others about it.

We were like.. nah you're making this up.

Then he gave us a copy of the original M&B.. We were amazed.

My dad got a computer magazine way back in february 2005 with the demo. Saw my brother playing it and bought it in march the same year. It's really been too long with this shit, even though it have been on and off a lot...

All great reasons! Not that I'd argue with anybody and their reason for buying a game, of course! 

Seeing a few videos of NW certainly helped me eventually buy it as well, plus a steam sale of 5 bucks.

Im not sure what year, but before warband came out.

Thomek gifted me a key ithink to original Mount & Blade.

I was not that interested in the fighting,I stayed on my horse with a bow. And sent my Swadian knights to mop up everything.
Loved running around with my caravan and trade. Viritual gold!!!

I was in a shogun total war 2 clan when it first came out called 7 Samourai, we where the best clan in all of shogun 2 (I had like a 4:1 or 3.5:1 or so win to loss ratio in one on ones and i dindt plug pull, and we were first non mega clan to win the tier 1 map). Anyways one of our best players, some guy (an adult) who literally plays video games 12 hours a day started playing mount and blade warband. I sometimes when on his steam channel to see what he was playing to find a good new game. Saw a screen shot of M&B and it looked cool and i saw it was only 10 dollars so i bought it. Guys name was Hazed if he plays CRPG.

I also found a strange coincidence with this. As many of you know i was in Hospitaller for a long time, when looking at other Hospitallers steam pages i found that quite a few of them where also in 7 Samarui, which had at most 100 peole in it at any one point so its not like it was a huge clan by any means (some clans had several hundred or even a few thousnad people in them). So yah strange coincidence i stop playing one game to play another and the clan i join is unknowingly made up of several people who where in my shogun clan.

I was visiting my cousin and he had this demo from computer magazine. I played the demo crazy like 30 times before buying full version  . Back then (like 2005?) there were only vaegirs and swadians and awesome random enemies like Dark Knights. Played the game ever since

[EponiCo]

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

Something like this. Back then it wasn't to polished, so I wasn't that interested, but I kept it in my memory and when warband came out I bought it.

There was a tiny article on some german pc-game site in 2008 about M&B. Downloaded demo, bought the game, got invited into WB beta 2009, joined crpg late 2010...

[Miwiw]

I read in the internetz...

[Wingthor]

in a dark souls forum, someone mentioned it. I was curious and so I bought it in the next retail store =) And it was a good decision to buy it.

I saw an add in the Mytholon catalog, bought it, no regrets

Like some others, I found this game when it was in Beta. I vitnessed my friend playing it on a computer. I was also stunned by the sheer atmosphere and the control you had over your character, and the fact that the bots were very much like you. No other game has taken my time and given me enjoyment like the M&B series, I've been playing it over and over in SP. This is the only game I've been consistently playing MP, joined competitive play, joined a clan etc. I've never before engaged myself so much in one game. Taleworlds was talking about making M&B multiplayer, but it took so long that at some point I stopped believing there would ever be a multiplayer.

I joined in version 0.600 -something, back when Khergits were a special type of steppe bandits, Dark Knights still existed, nothing but Swadians and Vaegirs and there were no sieges.

Basically was a big fan of melee heavy games even before the Mount&Blade series. Played Jedi Outcast before (even competitively) since it's release in 2002 or something, which was an awesome game and I would probably still be at it if the playerbase didn't start falling apart due to new game releases (RIP JK:JO, cry evry time ;_;).
So after the player base of JO was really low and all the cool old school players left, I started googling and asking on forums for other melee heavy games. Someone suggested Mount&Blade, I tried it, loved it but it lacked multiplayer. Then after some time Warband (yay MP) was announced, I jizzed, bought and been playing since the beta.
