TOG - The Older Gamers

Lord Flashard on the MEO forums recommended you guys to us.

We have been playing on the Landroval server and heard of The Osgiliath Guard on a different server, and are moving to try it out.

My wife and I are 32, and we have one precocious daughter. We have recently bought a fixer house that was a rental for 25 years, and spend most of our time working on it. I am staying home with my daughter until pre-school, and then I will go back to work.

I am a huge Warhammer Online fan, and I am a moderator at Warhammer Alliance, the primary forum for that MMO.

I don't get a lot of gaming time in MEO due to my moderation commitments, and my attempts to make a meaningful impact in the WAR beta. Typically, we duo together because our playtimes are erratic and we are so often interrupted.

For my part, I have long grown weary of taking chance after chance on a group of kids, only to find the same old thing - I just don't have enough in common with their interests. Though there are exceptions, in my WoW roleplaying guild I was great friends with a kid of all but 15, he was serious, mature, and though his outlook was different, it was great to see that rare exception; someone with a good head on their shoulders. It doesn't matter how old you are in that count, fools are fools no matter the age.

Just the same, I'm looking for a group of folk who at least know what it is to juggle responsibilities and the importance of gaming coming behind those other responsibilities, something younger people just don't seem to actually appreciate no matter what is said when it comes time to group up - understanding and compassion make all the difference in building friendships.

Of course, I have read and agree to the necessities.

With that,
I wait in line
