Well let me just prefice by saying you're all very welcome I waited until I sobered up before posting. I'll explain.
Last night I was at the favorite tavern drinking like a dwarf, or as close as i could get to it. I started to look around at my real life friends as we compared recent injury's, mostly motorcycle caused. We're Harley guys so our falls get pretty serious and we lose some great legacy's to stupid moments. In the back of my head I felt...guilt I guess. After my bike and me were totalled out I never replaced mine, I'm not scared, I just don't want to live like that anymore. In between drinking contests and scar story's I found myself checking the Gaiscioch na Anu page. I do this in secret. I think if they found out I played a game that doesn't involve guns and grenades, well hell I'll bet most of them can't even turn on a computer. Don't get me wrong, I'm 34 and most of my friends are around my age, it's just not the kind of thing we're known for.
I go by Reclis in game, I also play Traylynn a toon created for my now pregnant wife to be, and Hemotet and Yoshikuru. I bought Warhammer when it first came out only to find that the PC "hooptie" I was rollin couldnt handle it at all. SO it sat for 3 months until I bought a new one. I got the game in and stayed for almost a year. Well after going through twice as many guild memberships as server transfers I just kind of gave up, figured I was entirely to casual for this MMO. I tried Warcraft, OMG (hate that phrase, big thanks to you people who let that one go mainstream, do you have any idea what it's like to hear your girlfriend and 13 year old daughter go through the house using these acronym's that I thought belonged to us??? Sorry for the rant) anyways yeah Warcraft blows goats. That game just sucks to me. My poor brother has proven to me that it can be and truly is an addiction. I lost contact with him even though he lives a few blocks away. So anyhow, I'm a chemist who has recently been doing alot of off shift work. I bought alot of the Warhammer books and novels and my interest was sparked again. Only problem was, in my mind, lack of like minded people. I check the forums and like a pot-o-gold at the end o' the rainbow (pun intended) I find the Gaiscioch.
Well I make the ultimate sacrifice and delete my destro to reroll order. I have not regretted a minute of it. I might not be the most social guy, I'm south side chicago irish/mexican. But I'm there I enjoy hearing the good humored banter in /3 or /as. I cant always make it to the events but I want to and when I learn them better I will offer to lead. I'm finally enjoying the orvr even if it is usually a beatin'. So I guess I just wanna say to the Tuatha readin this, you got a friend in me. If you're looking for 1 more or if you see me about, know that I will try my best to help you. I don't mind being the sidekick or the boss. If things arent going so good, give me or any other brother a shout. I've got chars in all four tiers and would prefer the company of the people I've met here to any I've met in-game. Thanks for socializing my mmo experience Gaiscioch, you really do make the difference for me.
Thank you all very much, keeping me out of trouble and simultaneously reducing stress I feel like I should buy you all a beer!!
