Been with Grievance since the end of July 2013, when I started playing Neverwinter... My general gaming experience started off when the Commodore-64 was first released, playing tape-drive games, then eventually disk-drive games, and some cartridge games... Got into IBM Compatible computer based games in the late 80's and early 90's, mostly single player games and BBS games and the occasional LAN Parties for games like Unreal Tournament, MechWarrior, and Diabo 2...
Got into MMORPG's of the current style when I started playing City of Heroes... In fact, COH was the game I subbed to the longest (almosy 6 years), even though after the first 1-1.5 years I jumped games every so often... I miss it very much, and scorn NCSoft for having taken it off line...
I've played many different MMO's over the years, to include WoW (2nd Longest Sub - off and on since release), Everquest 2, Age of Conan (first game that forced me to upgrade my Video Card), Flyff (most grindy game I've ever played), Fallen Earth (a very fun and unique MMO, too bad it never took off though, population is very low), Forsaken World (mentor system rocked), Lord of the Rings Online, Star Wars The Old Republic, Rift, Neverwinter, The Secret World, Guild Wars 2, Xsyon (only fun when playing with other folks), Runes of Magic (The most expensive FTP MMO I've ever played), Champions Online (FTP option stinks, Sub is the way to go), Star Trek Online (loved this game, just got expensive buying all the cool stuff from the cash shop even with a sub), Aion (lousy game at release due to lack of content starting around level 30+, but it's a much better game now), and several others... I've dabbled with Minecraft now and then, as well as Farmville and other Facebook games, although I don't really touch Facebook too much anymore (my family was highly into Farmville several years back)...
I'm in my early 40's and never been married, have no kids, but I have a couple nieces which I love a lot... I live in Arizona, which is awesome since I don't need to change my clocks like everyone else twice a year... Lived here all my life, outside of my 4 year jaunt in the military... Spent 2 years in England, and absolutely loved it the entire time I was there...
I love to play board games and paper/dice RPG's when I get the chance, which isn't often... My favorites are D&D 3rd Edition, Vampire The Masquerade Series, Shadowrun, and several others... Back in my post high-school days I would play them a lot, even loved being the Dungeon Master of a steady group when I got out of the military, but it's been years since I've gotten to play any... Even used to go to gaming conventions once upon a time...
Was a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) for many years, post-military... But it's been over 7+ years since I've participated... The SCA is a medieval recreation group that's been around since the late 60's...
I'm sure I could go on, but it's already getting way to lengthy...
