Undetermined faction- Durick - Undetermined class/role

Post by Durick » Sun Apr 20, 2014 5:07 pm

Hey everyone, Durick here. My wife (Ambriana) and I pre-ordered a few weeks ago, and were looking for a new guild to call home. Our existing RIFT guild has pretty much died, and only 2 or 3 people were coming over with us... so it was time to hunt for a new guild to call home. When my wife found your recruiting thread, we really liked what we saw.

A bit of my background. I'm 35 years old, we've been married for almost 14 years. No kids, but a couple of little balls of fur follow us around the house. I'm a firefighter and paramedic in my work life, an Elder and a volunteer in the youth ministry area of my church.

Ambriana and I have been gaming together for nearly 16 years, starting with Ultima Online, and hitting up most of the major titles since. We hopped around a bit between games, but have spent most of our time in UO, WoW, LotRO and Rift. We've spent a fair amount of time in the raiding scene (We made a few trips into Blackwing Lair, completed Karazhan, etc). We're far less "hardcore" about raiding now as our careers and other hobbies have taken more of our time, but we still look forward to the challenges of end-game content. We almost always end up as officers in the guilds we play in, but we don't seek the position. Honestly, it's easier just logging in to play and not deal with organizing and leading sometimes.

I've played nearly every class/role in most games that I've played. I'm the old "jack of all trades but master of none," but I can be taught. I'm not one of those "cookie-cutter" guys - I tend to tweak builds and stats and gear to fit my play-style. Sometimes that works to my advantage, sometimes I have to learn what doesn't work the hard way. With that in mind, I haven't picked a class/role to play yet. I'll likely level 2 or 3 somethings at the same time :)

We haven't officially decided which faction to play. I think my wife is leaning very slightly towards Exile.... and I could care less. I'll play wherever there's pixels to be controlled, as long as she's by my side.

See ya wherever our ship lands!

Greetings Durick, Thank you for your into and welcome to Grievance! Awesome work life you got there. :) What breed are your dogs?

Which ever faction you decide to play on release, we have a lengthy roster for both sides.

We have a very successful guild in Rift. Our roster is in the 30-40+ online range on most nights doing all sorts of activities.

Hope to see your wife apply soon!

Go Exiles! (joking) :p

Thanks! She's working on her application now, I believe. I've been bouncing around the forums page for a few minutes now, and don't see the TS info. Am I missing something? *edit* Nevermind, my access was upgraded and I see it now...

Thanks! The work life has certainly been fulfilling and rewarding, as well as giving me endless odd stories that many people may not believe. (Ever hear of someone asking a firefighter to help with a bird stuck in a tree?). We have two Havanese that are 4 years old.

Welcome to the family Durick. You may find it interesting to know that Grievance was started by a group of firefighters. :)

I also play along side of my husband, and we have several other couples in guild. I am sure you will find Grievance to be a forever home for both you and your wife.

I look forward to gaming with you, see you on Nexus!
