I'm a beta player and lifetime subscriber who has been extremely busy with work, but I'm finally getting my time to start playing. I've been around MMOs since UO, played many of them, several seriously. I was serious about Asheron's Call on Darktide (PK server, everyone was a target), helped develop the Decal program. My reputation as an organizational leader in the Blood Allegiance in AC preceded me when I went to try EQ due to Lum The Mad and I got banned within a month of playing for something ridiculous. After that I was kinda involved in SWG, and then, like many people, I got a hit from the crackpipe that is WoW. In WoW our guild was one of the first to kill Ragnaros before they nerfed his sons, subsequent iterations of the same guild opened AQ, and we were running Naxx before Burning Crusade. After BC, I lost interest. I was a pure healer Tauren druid on 0-day Nathrezim (PvP sever). I played LOTRO pretty casually for quite a while and a bit of Age of Conan.
During the shakeup in SWG I was drawn into EVE, and I've been recalled several times (usually at no expense to me) to help with tactical and strategic planning in space warfare, restructuring industrial operations, fixing logistical and trade problems, and building and dropping eggs. I had like 9 accounts, each with a heavily specialized character, one of which was a Minnie Titan pilot, which I returned to my corp every time I closed the account. My first corp was Praxxis under ISS - I was there when we dropped the first eggs. After that I went to Body Count, Inc. which put me in Mercenary Coalition, and subsequently Against ALL Authority.
I'm telling you all this because I believe in honesty. I hope my past doesn't have an adverse effect on how you see me, but if you want me to leave, I certainly understand, and you wouldn't be the first people in an unrelated game to ask me. I was recruited by Apesi (Danfiveten, I believe) on my first patrol mission after coming back to the game and I really enjoy the alliance so far. I'm curious about the structure of the alliance and how things are supposed to work, but I'm at such a low level at this point I'm not sure that's relevant. I'm just happy to be here.
