Hi my name is Graham Baker and I am looking to apply for TOG Full membership. To be honest I have never heard of TOG until i started playing Rift, where the GM on that shard (Sagespire) had a very nice conversation with me and explained who you were.
I was interested by the post as it said casual guild and well over 25 - which somewhat implies a more mature crowd of gamers who know the meaning of work / real life schedule but also a desire to have some structure to a guild when needed
As for me, I am and always will be a gamer I imagine. My first PC was at the age of 10 where i think the 1st game was maybe Dune2. I say first decent game - i am sure i played some random stuff beforehand. Dune2 gave me my first RTS and a taste for something i loved. Been hooked to the PC ever since.
My first MMO was World of warcraft, which i played for 5 years. Did the whole hardcore guild gaming thing, did the casual playing, did the PVP. Enjoyed it thoroughly and made good friends! The game got a little dull for me and i lost my spark for it. Rift somehow seems to have brought it back.
Other games i currently actively play are Dragon Age 2, Heroes of Newerth, Starcraft 2, along with others such as Left4dead2 , AVP , etc etc.. Im generally an RTS guy, but i dabble in many a game
Id like to join TOG as it seems like a very large community, which i would like to start small and get to know via Rift, then more
Thanks,
PoD
