Something I'd like to know.
What generation are you?
Let's say first generation players are from before the big reset at googleearthhacks.com. So like before October 2005.
Second generation from afterwards at googleearthhacks.
Third generation from January 2006.
Fourth generation from May 2006 or afterwards.
Or fifth from October 2006 or after.
Just for my own statistics.
And don't lie, because we will have people trace it
It's easy to check at googleearthhacks .
You'd be amazed how many first and second generation players still are around.
Really cool.
Some because they are just addicted or have a lot of friends here, but most because they know they are actually helping to develop a game by playing.
Seeing how it was and how it has grown.
In the end when it comes out of beta they can say they are first generation beta-testers while bullying the 10th generation
(then again...even fourth generation can bully 10th generation )
I thought my join date was earlier than shown but then again it doesn't matter as I am a donator for life and it's forward not backward thinking that counts.
However with rememberance day all so fresh it's a good question LUke.
I remeber when this was Mickey's baby. Whatever happened to him?
I remember when Luke's name wasnt Luke and he had the hair .
After Mickey "sold it off" Luke and someone else whose name escapes me bought/got/took it on and then I truly beleieved that the game would go commercial and Luke would be a millionaire or a board memebr of google
Im a 4th generation member, but only a few days, as I joined Sept 24th, this year.
It should be possible to derive such a statistic from the database, Luke? Would be really interesting.
And a bit off topic: when will the 6th generation start? (I mean the next reset. I dont know how far the donatorgame is, but I would like to see the levelling system...)
I had been reading the GEH forums since August/September 2005, but didn't actually join up to start playing until October 2005, because I had no idea what half the threads were about!!
