Introductions from a new member

Post by sahmiam » Thu Dec 05, 2013 10:15 am

Hello,

I found your recruitment thread over on wildstar central and bounced around your community site for a bit. I was amazed at the level of organization displayed and am really looking forward to joining a game community again.

First a little about myself. My name is Tom, and I am a 39 year old ex-navy SAR Swimmer turned computer engineer. I live is "beautiful" modesto , california and have a fiance and three children ranging in ages from 11 to 19.

I got into mmorpg's with the release of the original everquest. I played EQ very heavily until DAoC was released, at which time I jumped to that game. I played DAoC right up until WOW came out. Since the release of WOW, I have played or tested every major mmorpg release to date. Including, but not limited to, EQ2, matrix online, warhammer, swtor, gw2, neverwinter, city of heroes/villains.

I specialize in being a tank, as it is the role I enjoy the most.

I am currently dabbling in both WOW again, and neverwinter. I also have an active ff14:arr account, but that game is idle at the moment as I don't really have the desire to run WP/AK ad infinitum for philo stones.

As for wildstar, I originally discounted the game due to the press release coming out around the same time that NCSoft closed down city of heroes for good. I was bitter about the whole thing and refused to look at an NCSoft game. Once the dev speaks starting hitting hard and fast, combined with Gaffney and Frost's incredible passion and energy , caught my attention. I am looking forward to this game more than any game since DAoC.

I am more than likely going to play a Granok warrior or Engineer depending on tanking style. I prefer ranged DPS to melee dps, so if the engineer tanks well that may be the class for me.

I guess that is all for this novella, sorry for the long windedness!

Welcome to Grievance and welcome to Wildstar. COH was my first MMO and I do miss it. Hopefully they've seen the error of their ways when it comes to Wildstar.

Welcome sir! Welcome to Grievance and welcome to the Exiles! I'm glad you made your way here! I think you'll find it quite comfy! I was disappointed to see COH go too. Although I hadn't played the game in years, I used to adore it being it was my first MMORPG. I was attracted to WildStar for the same reason as well as the humor throughout the game promos.

I played COH anytime I lost interest in my current "3 monther". It was a great game to just jump back into for a brief period and bounce around.

The humor in the trailers was a large factor in why I got interested in wildstar.
