Spiffy 420 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Discovered MicroVolts in 2011. Was watching youtube videos and got an advertisement for signing up to its open beta. Glad i clicked on it too, because i never saw another MicroVolts advert after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
PrimeChaos 2 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Probably on a site like MMOBomb. I used to scroll through similar sites to find new games to try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
Volt 485 Moderator Share Posted July 18, 2023 I honestly have wondered that for a long time. I played pre-surge without a doubt but I'm not sure for how long. I must've been like 9/10 years old when I discovered it, I'd imagine some time back in 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
Vindication 53 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I was introduced to it by my older brother in about 2011/12, sometimes I would watch him play random stuff and he allowed me to hop on his account every once in a while to play it myself At one point he made an account for me with the name TEEN14 as he was worried I was violating the PEGI rating of MV (which was like 12+). In reality I doubt anyone really gave a damn lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites

Knox95 11 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Pre-Rock Hippo: I saw the cinematic trailer on YouTube when it was known as HAVE in Korea. Also, some footage of the Taiwan version by Steparu. Rock Hippo version: I saw the announcement trailer on IGN. MasangSoft version: I saw their website mentioning MicroVolts. 😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
Swagettie 28 Share Posted July 19, 2023 My friends convinced me to play it after playing Battle Field Heroes for a while. I don't know the exact year but it was back in the day when the sample weapons were purple and RT didn't exist yet so I think somewhere between 2011 and 2012? I was 13 years old or so 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
SirOnion 3 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Back in the day, I couldn't run TF2 on my PC, so I looked up alternatives and saw MV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
SweatyGengar 25 Share Posted July 19, 2023 signed up for the beta of microvolts through an advertisement i saw but didn't really get into it until i saw hammy488 and Yuk1ster play and make montages on it. thats when i feel in love with it and made it my main game till it closed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
Vladan 3 Share Posted July 19, 2023 So, I wasnt the one who discovered microvolts. It was my older brother and his friend. One day I went into his room I was like 6, and saw him playing it and I asked what it is. So he told me and afterwards I was hooked to the game and kept playing it nonstop. This all happend in 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites

This is how i discovered it, although on different forums or websites, they said it was a "TF2 Ripoff" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
Vladan 3 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Thats one way to find it. And I think when I got older I looked up on ytb and I saw someone say its a TF2 but anime type game. (Not sure about the last sentence.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites

Awesome, if her name's gonna be the same I'm sure I'll see her around. Not sure if I'm gonna go by "Boom" or "Volt" just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites
