I'm curious what people do, especially the people I see on the server a lot.
I know some people are retired, and some players are students. I can understand these groups having a fair amount of free time to play.
As for me, I'm a software developer, so I usually play after work, but will occasionally take a break while I'm running a long build or otherwise have a block of free time.
How about the rest of you?
Corrections Officer in a supermax prison. BSAS in Criminal Justice. Police academy graduate as well.
Former investment banker, after divorcing the corporation over 2 years ago now part-time investor, part-time gym bro, part-time UT 2004 capper.
Molecular brain disease research (Alzheimer's & Parkinson's). I used to play a lot of touchscreen games with transgenic animals to investigate cognition and test new therapeutics. These days I design, make and manage the transgenic animal disease models used in the field.
Holy smokes, after reading this I think I'll think twice before wastin you in game :D
I work in postproduction for media, mainly sound design for films... time to play is all over the place lately not so much
Yes, I have to say, these weren't responses I would have predicted.
You all are even more awesome than I thought!
Storeman: forklift/reach truck etc. IT nerd and telecoms engineer in spare time.
Credit card fraud disputes, analysis, chargebacks & investigations. It's not as cool as it sounds, but my coworkers and I were directly involved in this:

If you want to become a sales agent at / for the first company, write me at Discord and lets see how we can help each other
Do you play at work to let of steam Zeus? Hahahah
We sure all do :D UV for sure does lol
Retired early this year from a tech role in a company with a $265+ billion revenue p.a.
Currently catching up with a load of house maintenance jobs that I'd not been getting round to. I've decided being up a very long ladder painting barge boards around guttering in the summer heat with paint that starts drying whilst on the brush is not much fun.
I'm a student in college - I don't play UT as much as I used to, due to increasing responsibilities and also just pure unadulterated ADHD, meaning I forget everything if I'm not careful
I studied social psychology and worked in medical research for many years. My hobby was music. This year I retired from my job and now I'm trying to fully dedicate myself to composing music within the Mexican progressive rock genre. Now I want to reinstall Unreal Tournament 2004 on Windows 10 and Windows 11.
I am a PLC and HMI guy. After college, I worked for machine builders and then a few factories. I recently worked for a company that supplies controls talent to other companies. While there, I worked a contract at Stellantis making changes to a production line that welds sheet the sheet metal that becomes a car body. I also worked another contract at a Walmart distribution center commissioning conveyor systems and robots. Now, I'm back to machine building. A PLC (programmable logic controller) is a computer tailored to a machine. A HMI (Human/Machine Interface) is typically a touch screen that communicates with the PLC to display information about the state of the machine and allows control of the machine. I've learned that there needs to be a balance between the amount of effort put into the PLC and HMI code development. I've seen many machines that function well, but are unpleasant to work with because the HMI work was not great. If the operators hate the machine, productivity will suffer. It's not just the people buying the machine that matter. The operators matter, too. I find this line of work very frustrating but also very satisfying. It is cool to consider that the code I have written is still functioning in various places around the world. Still, I am getting tired of this. I hope one of my inventions will pay, instead, some day.
Biologist here, specialized in the subfields of microbiology, molecular biology and immunology. I started my career leaning heavily towards microbiology but after a while I decided I would enjoy molecular biology more. Currently working veterinary diagnostics laboratory where I run qPCR tests first and foremost. Also part time gym-bro.
I returned to UT2004 after skipping like ~10 years. Bit of a lie because in that time period I was sometimes on and off but never actively playing.
