TOG - The Older Gamers

Hello to everyone here!

First of all, i would like to appologies for my poor english skills.
Secondly, about my native language and location, it's Russian and Moscow city. That explains my confusions about english language skills, usually i'm only reading and carefully listening other community members. Write something is very hard for me

About my gaming history, it start's from old Intel 80386 based PC in the computer class at my school. My mom was an english teacher in that school (and she was MY english teacher, but i was a bad pupil)

. She was in good relation with "Informatika" teacher (that is how Russian's call computer literacy teacher) and one day i was chosen not only to touch the single PC in school but play on it. Playing on that device for the first time was for me similiar to Alice in Wonderland, unforgettable expirience. Later on my growing gaming interests went through many PC games (mainly FPS, Quake 3 is my personal standart of perfect game and i love it very very much ), on many PC, in many places untill someone shows me Lineage 2. That was the cornerstone, since then i forgot all other games (except Q3

) and focused on constant grinding on various free-shards, then on NA localisation, server Kain.

Lineage 2 was a very bad sickness for me. When i realized it, i completly revised my attitude from very serious and hardcore to more social and openminded. I began to enjoy not so much from the game but on communication in the game and later completely moved from L2 and gaming to my real life. Someone sad i have matured, but for me it's changing directions, without changing spirit of my gamer nature

Now i have an interresting and beautifull wife, interresting (and not so beautifull as wife) work, playing from time to time in different games on different platforms (including GBA, DS, PC).

What do i do here? Not long ago i've accidentally discovered what Aion, an interresting Korean MMORPG which concept and presentation I've heard in 2006, is on the final stage's of NA/EU localisation. Doing some research about Aion community i've found topic on "Aionsourece" about TOG community from Bunni and realised - that is what i'm looking for, community of people that respect's each other, will not force you to play 24/7, and i really love that term from FAQ: "Keep your cool". I hope i can become a valuable or at least quiet and not annoying member of your community and keep myself cool

Thanx for reading!
