TOG - The Older Gamers

Hi, I can attest to all of the below being true.
I saw a link to your site on the VN Warhammer Online forums.

I live in NJ so I'm on EST.

Thanks!

I am over 25. (37)
I have read and AGREE to abide by the TOG Code of Conduct
I have read and AGREE to and abide by the TOG Acceptable Useage Policy (AUP)
I have read and AGREE to abide by the Forum & Server Guidelines
I have read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Document.
I have read and AGREE to abide by the Signature and Avatar Guideline.

My name is Jay and I am 37 years old. I've been gaming online since MUD's in the early 90's and when M59 launched I was hooked on graphical MMO's.

I played UO for years and EQ1 for 5 years. I played AC1 for 3 years, DAoC, AO, FFXI, EQ2, Neocron, E&B, EVE, RoE, Ryzom, AC2, SB, WoW, AoC, and on and on I think that i have played every mainstream (and some not so mainstream) mmorpg's to date except for WWIIO. I am now heading into WAR and will hopefully land there for a long time to come. I'm really looking forward to playing a game for a long time again.

I'm married to a wonderful, beautiful woman and we are coming up on our 16th wedding anniversary in November

I have a 2 year old son who has Cystic Fibrosis. He's my hero and my angel. He's my everything. His name is Noah and he's the strongest, bravest person I ever met... even at the age of 2. I love him more than life itself.

I work, a lot. I am a magician & illusionist as well as a sales manager at a hot tub store. Between the two if those proffesions I put in aprox 70 hours per week. I don't get nearly the time to play games that I use to get, but I will never give up gaming! It's my favorite hobby

I played D&D in the 70's and 80's, Intellavision, Atari 2600, Commodore 64 (Infocom games were my favorite!) and then got my first 286. I think I had a 386 or a 486 when I discovered MUD's and then eventually Diablo... then M59

I am REALLY looking forward to WAR!

Thank you Jia!

2nd edition is my favorite and more specifically The Forgotten Realms campaign

Thanks for the quick response and warm welcome

I agree, 2nd Edition was the best! I still have dozens of 2ED books collecting dust in my shelves, but I'm tellin' ya: they're not going anywhere (unfortunately neither is the dust, lol).
My favorite campaign setting is Planescape - I think it was a bit too complex for most DMs to manage, so it never really kicked off. But the amount of roleplaying opportunities that the PS setting had to offer were incredible.
Not to mention that it also spawned one of the best computer RPGs that I've ever played: Planescape Torment.
I think I'm only missing two books and a few adventures to complete my PS book collection,

But before I get too carried away: again, welcome to TOG! I'm sure you'll have a great time in this wonderful community,
