[DONE] Nevyn07: Applying for Membership

[Nevyn07]

Hi guys,
I have recently joined up with an old gaming friend in playing LotRO and he has been telling me what a great community exists here so I am looking to become a member and share gaming experiences with other aging players whose reflexes might not be quite as sharp as they once were

Bit of info about me using the basic template from the sticky.

What games are you currently play/looking to play with TOG?
My current online gaming time is split between World of Warcraft and Lord of the Rings Online. I've been playing WoW since beta but am finding my enthusiasm for it waning. Even the eminent expansion hasn't really excited me. LotRO however I have been very much enjoying. I first played LotRO during the original beta but didn't play it upon release. With the recent free to play option I downloaded the client for a look and loved it. I am now a VIP subscriber and clocking some 10 -20 hours a week.
What was the first machine you played games on or pen and paper game you played?
I first got in to computer games by pumping 20c pieces into the pinball and video games at the local arcade. Games like Gyruss, Timepilot and Xevious were my favs.
From memory the first video game console I had a teenager was a Philips and then an Atari 2600. I spent a lot of time playing on friends Commodore 64s before finally purchasing a spanking new 386SX PC around 1990. I've been through 6 PC in the intervening 20 years and am currently gaming on a i7-950/X58 system.
The only pen and paper game I player was MERP (Middle Earth Role Playing). Somewhere in a cupboard I have a dozen or so source books for that system.
Why do you want to join TOG?
I'd like to join up with The Osgiliath Guard on Elendilmir server for fun, adventure and really wild times.
Tell us about yourself or anything else you'd like to share.
As you might gather from the above I have been gaming for quite a few years and I very much like MMORPG's. Ultima Online was my first love then WoW and now LotRO.
I live in North Queensland and usually game most evenings from around 8'ish to 11'ish. Hope to hook with some of guys in game soon.
Cheers and thanks,
Nevyn07

Welcome to TOG.

If you are looking to play some MMORPG with some fellow gamers, check out Pirates of the Burning Sea (PotBS).

As the TOG Society Leader for PotBS, we are relaunching the division to coincide with the change to Free to Play business model.

Joining now means you get in at the ground floor of what I expect will be a fun filled active game division with lots to do.

I expect to start a new character playing group (max of 6 per group) to jointly play through the starter missions.

Initially PvE groups for missions and eventually open sea PvP once we reach the max level cap of 50 and equip ourselves with the best ships in the game.

Initially we will be focussing on a Pirate Society on Antigua (US peak playtime) server.

With a non-TOG sanctioned group playing on Roberts (European peak playtime) server as French nationals until we have enough players to establish our own economic supply chain for cost effective production of ships and consumeables for society members.

So check out this link if you want to know more about PotBS
http://www.theoldergamers.com/forum/pirates-burning-sea/329558-read-first-pirates-burning-sea-guide.html#post2958152

And post your forum name and ingame avatar name on our sign up list for the Pirate faction on Antigua (US peak playtime) once you have downloaded the game and signed up to play for free via the Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) launcher 3.

I recommend that later if you are serious about playing longer term you pay US$14.99 for a one month subscription so you can get access to a full account which does not limit you to max of two ships, two dockyards and two character slots and force you to pay for everything. By subbing for one month you get the same privileges as a former returning player gets who doesn't subscribe to the monthly fee (Captain's club).

Note that it doesn't matter what time zone you are in as initially you will be levelling up via PvE missions so you will be mainly grouping with Society members, so although we are Australian based society, we have members from the US and UK playing this game, so you are likely to find someone online whenever you feel like playing some PotBS.

All the Best

Ace
Society Leader for TOG Pirates of the Burning Sea game division.
