Hello,
I would like to join TOG on Wolfbane Shard in Rift. My RL is Jacob and I'll be 41 in May.
My MMO experience started back in 2004 (or 2005? can't recall) with Anarchy Online. Year later tried WoW and pretty much played it with a few pauses until recently (I just don't find Cataclysm fun, even if the new 1-60 experience is great). The guilds I've been in are best described as casual/casual raiding. Also played/playing Age of Conan (got 2 80s and done a few raids, which is a quite different experience than WoW), Fallen Earth and Warhammer for a bit.
The reason why I would like to join TOG on Wolfbane is because a few I played and raided with in WoW moved to Rift and joined TOG. Rift is actually the first (and only) MMO I bought without playing the trial or beta, but so far I am really enjoying it.
Before MMOs, I played mostly FPS game like Quake and Unreal series. Didn't really get into CS, but I did enjoy playing ActionQuake, True Combat and Urban Terror mods. Oh, and TF. Still play TF2 whenever I don't feel like MMOing

. Used to go to QGL lans back when they were running.
As far as beginning of it all, my first system was the original C-64 back in '84. Didn't get into consoles until SNES and never got an Amiga when I was a kid
