I know it felt like a long post, and frankly in all the time I've known you, That is the longest post I can recall. It's still good info, and it's nice to see.

I'm moving over to the other, and more importantly, correct topic.

Thought I'd poke my nose in and say hey.  Playing eq2 which is fun...they actually put a class that can glide in Kelethin so you don't die if you drop out of the trees!  Douv is playing wow he's hooked up with the older gamers which is a guild of 25+ rl age peoples.  age segregation helps to ignore the idiot teens.

I've seen their web page, and frankly that did look appealing. I'm enjoying VG atm, just joined a guild, have a few core friends I Advent with, all in all, having a good time.

Funny thing, it appears as though there is a Down-under presence on our server, Targonor. I just seem to get lucky that way.

Hola! Not sure if anyone still remembers me, been a while :cool:

Stumbled over this board by coincidence and was hit by nostalgia. Nice to see some of you guys are still hanging around!
Can't believe SOE released a whole 12 expansions after I left Norrath and joined the world of Aerynth (Shadowbane). Ah well, ended up in Tyria (Guild Wars) after that detour...c'est la vie. :wink:

TOG has a presence in most online games...whatever the game you want to play they probably have a guild that you can join.

I saw a TOG character right next to me the other day crafting. How many servers is TOG on in VG?

hey guys, I was supprised to see that this site was still active. Im glad to see that some of the old gang are still keeping in touch.
say hi to colmir for me zax I am happy to here that he made it home safe.

as for me I was just about to delete this site from my favorites listing in my browser but decided to click on it first, Im glad that I did guess I will keep it active for awhile longer now that I see some recent post on it.  Ive been bouncing around alot tried my hand at a few different games eq2 was fun for awhile but most the eq1 keeper that started it faded out fairly quickly few of them moved over to city of villians and I didnt follow did try city of heros for awhile but lost interest in a matter of months I figure COV would be more of the same. The last 6 mos or so Ive made a move to WOW soloed to 60 easy enough there and started hunting around for a pvp server to give that a try and saw some info on a TOG guild which really interested me alot hoping to find a taste of the old time on eq1 again. so I join the web site the the other day and plan on start anew on a pvp wow server with a horde TOG Guild on it.

I will be popping on agian to say hi, great to see that everyone is doing well
your old friend

I absolutely loved serverwide team PvP in WoW. I hope you enjoy it as well.

I logged on tonight in VG, and some friends sent me a quick invite ( a slot had just opened up) and I see a name that looked familiar. I say, "hey Xtens you ever play EQ 1?"

Lol, it was great seeing old friends in new toons. As I've mentioned we have a sizeable ANZAC population on our server (Targonor), and I'm sure X has found a home with folks playing in his timezone. He passed along that Karlah is expecting again, and that they have moved back to NZ.

Even better to come here after I logged out and see a post from Ronik. Glad to see things are going well for you bud. If you can handle the kids, team PvP WoW is a great game. If you're looking for more of an EQ1 feel, VG is very close, warts and all. It has many of the things you loved about EQ, and it has several of the things that you hated.

Hi guys doing my semi-annual check in.  Not playing any games at the moment, just not interested atm, happens every so often.  Good to see there are a few folks who check in here every so often

By pure chance, I just happend to come across the url for the board stored away in some old files.  So, I thought I would stop by and say hello. It's encouraging to see that so many of the core crowd still occasionally post here.

As far as games go, I really have given them up.  Just about the only thing I ever play is Xbox 360 from time to time.  If any of you play on XBox Live, my handle is Zorvic.  Send me a message sometime, but I haven't logged onto it in a while. 

I got into PlanetSide pretty heavily for a while.  Then, I played WoW for about a year and a half or so.  I had a 60 Hunter that I really enjoyed.  Then, I ended up messing around with a priest and it become my main character for a long time.  My 60 priest was the most fun I had since the good ole days of making my wrists hurt from twisting bard songs.  At any rate, it finally started getting stale and it was simply eating up too much time.  So, I quit.

It has taken me a long time to finally kick the habit, but I am done with MMOs.  I just don't have the bandwidth for it anymore between a 6 month old and work.  To a certain extent, work has become my replacement time sink for gaming.  I invest a lot of time in keeping up to date with never ending advances in technology related to my profession (software engineer), and it has been paying off.  Even though I don't really have the urge to play anymore, I still find myself occassionally thinking about the good ole days.  It is somewhat sad to realize how many days were spent playing that game, but they were some great times that no other MMO has ever lived up to.

As far as personal stuff goes, I have been married for almost two years now.  And, I have a six month old son (which, I think I posted about the news when we found out over a year ago).  It has been a wild ride adjusting to being a dad, but it has been fun at the same time.  Other than that, I have been extremely busy with work.  I just got back from a three week trip to Connecticut where I was doing some consultant work for a hedgefund company.  It was a cool place to work, but I am still tired from the 14+ hour daily grind. 

Anyway, enough of my rambling.  I hope all is well with everyone.

Now that I re-stumbled across the forum, I will make it a point to stop by on more of a regular basis.


Later,

Just got back from camping with my kids we had a great time and had kangaroo's hanging out behind out tent and a stunning lake that is no more than 2m deep at any point for the kids to play in.

Hi there -

So I'm not really playing anything at the moment. I started a new job with a web-design company a couple months ago as the Production Manager. The best thing about it is that it has nothing to do with the law whatsoever. I've been putting in a lot of time at the office to fix some issues, so my WoW playtime dropped to zero. I might pick it up again, but probably not for a while still.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey! I'm going to be in Australia May 30 for 45 days at Camp Growl, Shoal Water Bay area for training with the Australian military.  Rumor around the battalion is we get a 3 day weekend in Brisbane, which I hear is somewhat of a party town.  Anyone have any good suggestions for the weekend in either shoal water bay or brisbane?
