Hey guys and femmes. Seeing as we are now merging completely with Ogamings community, instead of having a zillion threads going, (although it makes this place look actually used for the first time in months HA) I thought it would be easier for both the transitioners and the vets to have one thread to introduce themselves to one another. I don't know how active the Ogaming forums were prior to this merge, so it would be nice to get an idea of who is who from where. Post whatever you want to tell us about yourself, be it just gaming info or a little about yourself *gasp* sans gaming.
For myself, Im known here at allakhazam as DSD, formerly Lady Deadsidedemon. I've been a part of this community for a couple of years now, starting over at the EQ1 site when I was a GL of a family/casual raiding guild on Tarew Marr. I wandered one day into the sick place that is the Asylum, got hooked and have stayed ever since, even when not playing MMOs. You can generally find me here in the EQ2 area, sometimes over at the WoW boards, and the Asylum. I will give forewarning, do not enter the Asylum unless you have a very thick skin and dont take things personal there. Its quite, errm, volatile and you'll get your hazing period if you're new. =)
I've been playing MMOs for about 6/7 years now off and on. I started as a Druid on Eq1, getting to lvl 66 before EQ2 came out and jumped to check it out. Ive been playing EQ2 off and on since release and now have a 70 Fury (Meiune) and a 70 Monk (Faiille) over on the Blackburrow server. I have been in a "casual", but effective raiding guild there and have been lucky to see a lot of zones I normally would not be able to. Unfortunately they just got rid of the raiding and I will be possibly searching for a new guild shortly, or taking a break from the game for a bit.
I have also played WoW off and on since release. Ive had a 60 hunter, and various alts (mage, priest, druid, etc) on various servers.
As for myself personally, Im one of those rare femmes that actually exist and play the MMOs. Husband and I play together as a team on any game we check out. I tend to be feisty at times, which you will either love or hate. I tend to keep it on the down low here at the EQ2 boards though and keep it as close to gaming as possible.
I am also expecting my second child, due any day now, so I will be sporatic in the upcoming weeks when it comes to posting. I also have a 4 yr old who has already been introduced to and loves, MMOs. While he may not be able to do too much, he does enjoy taking his froglock to the Eldar grove and jumping off the giant tree there for hours on end.
If you guys have any questions on how this site runs or anything gamewise, please feel free to ask and the community here will be happy to help.
