Hi all,

My name is Craig,
Im 28 , and located in Auckland NZ.
I am a hobby web developer , making shopping cart and content sites in my own time, but professionally i am in Executive Field Support, being the IS technical saviour for my client's Executive workforce.

I've played many an online game over the years, but started back in the late 80's playing round with the old Amiga systems, and the thousands of games that were available. We (my brother and I) often think back to the good old days of Gods, Speedball 2, and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. ah yes. nolstalgia.

After forking out $3grand back in the mid 90's for my first Pentium PC - quake, C&C and Diablo were the mainstay.

FPS gaming was big back in the late 90's , early 2000s, everyone i knew was playing Quake 3, Unreal Tournament , and counterstrike (is the C word a swear world here? ) - but never carried onto Steam, and basically gave up FPS gaming after we closed up our LAN cafe and i had to go back to Home broadband. New Zealand's DSL at the early half of this decade was laughable to say the least.

After avoiding World of Warcraft (i actually played up to level 20 - just a noob there - hating the grind ) - i kept trying other Free to play MMO's like Guild Wars, and a bunch of those Asian to English games that came out in the last couple years, but nothing really was shining out among the rest. Poor dialogue and an unpolished look had me delete the installers for many gigs of games.

Warhammer Online is where i am now, and so far i am not complaining at all.
Hardly a typo to be seen, no whining children that i have had the misfortune to run into, (they must all be on Order side) and a good learning curve - though i wish i understood more about open RVR before charging through the first 10 levels.
there was so much going on i just ignored it for plain old PVE.
So yeah, i play a rank 27 Disciple of Khaine (melee/Healer) for Destruction on the IronClaw server, and have a Tier 2 Magus.I also have a few low level Order toons on the Lucan server. (note these are Oceanic)

I have read all the ToS and agree to them all.

Of course CS is not a swear word....

Sad to hear you gave up on steam .. If you do decide to play some CSS jump into the Counterstrike division forum and say g'day.
