I want to start out by saying it is great to be here. Having a place to interact with your
peers is a refreshing change for me and I am excited about having found a place to do that.
I am a 53 year old female from the US. I have been gaming for close to 15 years.
I was an FPS addict for several of those years playing Doom, Quake, UT, SoF,
CoD--you name it I probably played it. My one (and only) claim to fame is that I was a world ranked player at one time playing Quake. Gaming systems I have used include X-Box and PS2 but my heart belongs to my PC. FPS gaming was my first love but when the hand/eye coordination goes away with age and the new reading glasses don't make you feel 30 again--well, it's time to move on
Currently I play Warhammer. I also play Guild Wars and Archlord though not as
seriously as WH. I have toons on Ironclaw and Vortex but tend to spend more time
on the Ironclaw server as people seem to be frankly friendlier on the Aussie server
than on the US. My gaming hours are a bit strange-or so I am told-as I play from
around midnight to 4:30 AM US Central Time during the week. Then I go to work. On weekends I play for HOURS and it is almost embarrassing to say how long I stay in-game sometimes
I want to join TOG because they are who
I am. Gaming should be universal, ageless and genderless. But more importantly FUN. My experience of late in hasn't been
exactly that. Being an older female in a guild of younger players has been difficult
at best. I have grown weary and sad at being ignored, slighted and occasionally
insulted. My perception of game play is vastly different. I play to relax, laugh
and lose myself in a world of unreality which never ever ceases to amaze me even
after all these years. And I will be sitting in front of this computer for years to come.
It's who I am.
Finding good folks, laughing and sharing gaming experiences and good times
is what I am looking for. It's good for the soul
Thanks for listening
