1. You are over 25 years of age.

2x over, so yes.

2. You have read the AUP & FAQ

Yes, I have read these fully.

3. You have read the forum/server guidlines.

Yes, I have read these.

Some idea of your geographical location and the times that you play will also help.

I live in Northern California (Bay Area). I'm most often found on Jubei'Thos in my wee morning hours (about 10 pm server time), but sometimes frequent the server in my evenings (which is a low population time for the server). I have several on-line friends on the server from Australia and Singapore and this is the time when we all seem to be playing.

If you like, you can also say a bit more about yourself: your gaming history, what you do for a living, whether you have a family, what some of your other interests are, etc. - this information is optional but welcome.

I've been on-line MMORPG gaming since SWG, but have been messing around with play-by-post games and various other internet strategy/FPS for many years preceeding SWG. I currently play WoW and LOTRO, but WoW occupies most of my online playing time. I've beta tested many on-line games (I enjoy "first peeks").

Kahateni (a Navaho name, which seems to fit with Tauren lore) is my main and is a druid. I find druids a challenging mix of able to do all things, but struggle to do them all well. I prefer resto builds (healer suits my mindset), but current run her in a 0/30/31 because the environment requires I be able to survive. I have a high level rogue (Scuff, 64) and am presently also leveling a Pally (Brazos, 43).

I'm an Infrastructure Architect at eBay (which pays for my gaming habit), and if any of you use to buy gold there, so do you

I remain happily married to my high school sweetheart (albeit she'd give WoW the finger if she could) for over 30 years. I have 3 daughters, who take grand pleasure in telling their boyfriends and friends that their dad plays WoW (and, sometimes, once informed, they often come look me up, which I find strange amusing and odd, all at the same time).

Other interests are martial arts (Wing Chun), swimming, bicycling (I bike to work as often as possible), women's soccer (by virtue of my kids), sci-fi movies, testosterone flicks (Ahnuld is my govenator, after all), and all things Air Force (I'm a brat, and I went to USAFA).
