My name is Jason and I was born and raised in Massachusetts, but moved to Washington state in the last couple of years to start a new life with my domestic partner and our dog and cat. While during the day a couple days a week I am a retail associate for Michael's arts and crafts, I am a accounting graduate trying to find my niche. So outside of gaming I am mainly playing the role of caretaker (at home) and babysitter at work but I do enjoy playing on my Wii U. I did have a PS3 and loved it but the costs for download content and such was just too steep. I am waiting for PS4 or Xbox One but I am still leery about what the console gaming industry has become.
I am excited for Wildstar because its a game where I can really sink my teeth into and feel like I can retain my stay with the community for more than a few months and really make a solid impact. As your posting on the curse.com boards stated are you tired of guild shopping? the answer to me was yes, yes I truly am because no matter what community I stayed with only 2-3 games really kept my interest for a year or more... Everquest in 1999, WOW in 2004 FFXI from 2003-2006 off and on Guildwars from I believe it was 2006 or 7 until Guildwars 2 which I begrudgingly play now because of the lack of "community" that I am feeling. I have played over 120 independent/browser based MMOs, in my history of gaming but my favorite has to be sci-fi based RPG MMO..
I will admit I am very new to raiding and "gear spec'ing" but I am more than willing to learn. WOW I learned a very little but that's based on PvE content and not so much the battlegrounds or arenas. The furthest I got in battlegrounds would have to be "Alterc Valley" so I haven't really immersed myself in the WOW environment. I know I should find my old account and pitch in for the new content but I feel as if the community in most of the my older MMOs have left a sour taste in my mouth and I am really praying that Wildstar isn't going to be the same. I was asked to say more about myself... Well I am a very positive person most of the time, I just have my quirks when it comes to feeling emotionally satisfied. I am certainly a person who I help out every person I can, and if I cant I try to make it up to the person(s). I look to my guilds in games like a 2nd family in some ways, and well I love the concept that you guys add and that's "real life" meetings though I hope one day I am comfortable at some point to host something myself ... It would be nice to finally have friends as an adult rather than the constant acquaintances. XD
As you can tell I am just tired of reaching for the stars and having no one to catch me lol... So I cant wait to get involved and if there is an MMORPG that doesn't cost monthly or would throw a wrench into my already tight budget I would consider looking at (even GW2, if the situations were good) and you guys want to teach me the ropes on games I don't know.. then I welcome the invitation with open arms. For now I just play on my Wii U and look through boards. Anyways, enough of my rambling .... I really hope to get to know the community and grow with them as others have
