Hi Grievance!
[Vultur starts casting Wall of Text...]
I was introduced to MMOs in 1998 when a friend got me hooked on Ultima Online. I have played many other MMOs since then - Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot, WoW, City of Heroes, EVE, Rift, GW2 and even the Sims Online!
Most recently, prior to Wildstar I have been wandering around WoW, mostly solo, questing, leveling alts and going through the motions. My wife is not a gamer, so I tend to have less time online than most folks (10 hours or so) or I can get some serious aggro! Nonetheless, I want to be involved in a guild, have some online buddies and drive toward end game content. Wildstar really seems to be a game that looks to throw people together if they want to experience the most exciting content. Running PUGs just to see the content is about the opposite of what I want. Looking for a guild that mostly wants to learn and ace the runs, but also may want to explore, goof around and try new strategies sometimes.
I have a pretty strong case of Alt-itis, I have 6 toons on Stormtalon (and couldn't resist rolling 6 Dominion noobs on Thunderhoof
) but I try to start every game with a Warrior as my main. (I did some 10-man main tanking in Kara back in the day...) I am running a red Granok named Magmatite and enjoying the quests so far. I have been ignoring housing, crafting and tasks and really just heading to 50 so far. Hoping to take more time and run through the content more casually with some alts down the road.
Personal stuff - I'm 49. Yeah, ouch. I live in New Hampshire now, but was a Navy brat so I lived up and down the coasts as a kid. As an adult I have lived in San Diego, Petaluma and Seattle in the west as well as north of Boston in Exeter and Rochester in the east. Early in my career I worked for a game company as a developer releasing a submarine simulator that was published by Sierra Online. I've worked for Motorola and at Starbucks Headquarters in Seattle as a Software Test/Quality Assurance Leader. Currently at a small webdev shop and finishing up an online Master's in IT.
Outside of MMOs, I like boardgames, hockey (go B's!!!), watches, and have been known to mumble magic words like Laphroaig and Lagavulin on occasion...
TL:DR - hoping you have space for a guy looking to strengthen the guild rather than dilute it!

A Exile officer will be with you soon.
