Post [DONE] Old Gamer seeks new Home. Inquire Within!

31 year old Gamer needs a new home. Mostly housebroken, and does not bite.... Much...

He is currently playing:
EVE Online
Planetarion
But responds well to game suggestions.

He has also earlier played games like:
WoW
Ultima Online
Age of Conan
Anarchy Online
Star Wars Galaxies
Planetside
Guildwars
CS
Most multiplayer FPS's
lots of different Web games.
and more.

His first gaming rig was a strange red box that only had Pong. But he found it immensely fulfilling.

Later his parents bought him a Spectrum ZX, because they where too cheap to buy him a C64
But that didn't matter to him. Because to him, it was a dream come true.
His first computer. His very own slice of heaven.
A whole new world had opened up to him.


As time passed he also got him self a Nintendo.
Even though his parents said no to him.
His brother said yes. And bought him one.
So while his brother was getting yelled at by their parents. He was in his own little world.
Playing the only game that existed for Nintendo at the time. Ice Climber.

The years went on. and the stacks of Nintendo games piled up. Until he finally got him self his first PC. (286 12Mhz).
Again, a whole new world opened up for him. And that was the start of a life of Police Quest, Space Quest, Wolfenstein 3D (Mother of all FPS's), Wing Commander. Etc. The list just goes on and on.

And so it was, for many years. Until something strange appeared.
They called it "The Internet".
And how wonderful it was. Finally he could chat, without having to dial up BBS's. And he could play multiplayer games, without having to lug around his PC and a Serial Cable. It seemed like life was just about perfect.

Until THEY came. "The Internet" started to become popular, "others" came.
At first he welcomed the "others" with open arms. Tried to help them, and teach them how things worked on "The Internet". But.. they wouldn't listen. They didn't care.

But some did listen, and eventually as time went on. More and more started behaving. But to his dismay, he noticed more and more people coming to his beloved "The Internet". And for each "other" that changed, two new ones popped up.
His spirit was broken, his will was gone. He had to accept defeat.


His only hope now, was in finding others like him.

So. as you can see. This poor old gamer is in need of a new home.
One with kind, level-headed and responsible adults.

Is this that place? Has his search come to an end?
If so, then please approve this application.


PS: Yes, I did have way too much time on my hands when I wrote this <--

Thank you =)

I know EQ was like the first (atleast first well known) mmorpg's out there. And I tried it when it was beta. Found it a bit boring.

How is EQ II any better? and what makes it different than all the others out there now?

Gday mate.

Nice intro btw The whole wing commander series got me spending far too many hours at the computer as well

If your curious about EQ2 I think they offer a 14 day free trial.....just download the client and away you go. You get access to the majority of the game in the trial. Some people love it....some dont. Its a pretty large world...and if you were to do every quest there it would take you a LOOOONG time. I tried it on a toon of mine....couple months later less then a quarter of the way thru the zones. (got the account on hold atm due to other demands)

Hope to see you around. Welcome aboard.

regards,
B

There is a trial period, goto Station.com – Free Trials and at the bottom of the page is a 14 day free trial of Everquest 2.

Be careful though, there is Everquest (Everquest gives only 10 day trial), and Everquest 2.
