Hello -

I learned about TOG on the LOTRO Kinship recruitment board, and it sounds like just the group I've been looking to join. First, the important stuff:

1. You are over 25 years of age. Yes, I'm 35 and 3/4
2. You have read the AUP and FAQ. Yes.
3. You have read the forum/server guidelines. Yes.

My earliest gaming memories go back to table-top Pong, Space Invaders and Breakout arcade games, and the full spectrum of Atari 2600/5200/Intellivision/ColecoVision/C64 systems. My first job was giving out change in an arcade in southern New Jersey - one of the hardest jobs I ever had, not only because I had to stand on my feet all day but also because I had to watch other people play but I couldn't while on duty

I'm currently married with a 19 month old daughter, and as much as I love gaming, family is my #1 priority, so it's always a little tricky to predict when and how long I'll be able to play, but if that works for you then I'd be honored to be considered for membership.

Given my limited gaming time, I typically focus on 1 game. Lately that's been the LOTRO beta, and just before that I reactivated my WoW account to give Burning Crusade a whirl.

One question: is there a good number of folks from the US in TOG? I'm just trying to get a feel for how many folks might typically be online from the PST in LOTRO.

Thanks!

SilverLid

p.s. I see there are quite a number of Australians in TOG - we honeymooned in your beautiful country and hope to see it again sometime soon.
