Hello all!
Im a 30year old guy from Sweden (only one here?), and would consider myself as a gamer.
Ive been around since C=64 (as many of you guys) and later went to the Amiga (gosh, I loved that one) and ended up on PC. Ive played alot of good games on consoles (NES, Sega, PsP1/2) aswell of course but never bought one myself.
Favorite game "memories" are from the first 2 Monkey island adventures, and Grim Fandango. Even though I played alot of good games since then. These stories was very well intergrated and narrated in the games.
Ive tested tons os MMO´s (beta/trials/subscribed) but have been rather unsatisfied with most of them. Mostly because the lack of "story" and good "narration", if that make sence. Non og the MMO´s hade made me really feel its important to do the stuff, the NPC´s tells me to do and even though the game universe id presented with a nice story (usually) you almost never "feel" that ingame.
I did get stuck in Lineage2 for a year tho (for some reason) and are now playing WoW, since european release. And to be honest, Im terrible bored with WoW, and the only reason Im still there is because of the very good friends Ive meet and Im a guildleader (together with my IRL girlfriend).
And now we (me and my GF) are waiting for HJ. And it was with mixed feelings we reseaved the new release dates as we both was looking forward to the 2Q 2006 promise.
Both me and my GF are roleplayers, and looking forward to see how Simutronics will applay the RP in HJ. As all MMO´s ive seen so far did a pretty losy job. On the WoW RP server, it went pretty good at start, but at the end game I hardly see any RP at all (myself included, sadly).
Ive been thinking of applaying to a GM, but (this will probably sound strange) im a bit afraid what would happen if I got the "job". Would I be able to play with my GF and other friends, if im a GM? Am I only applaying to actually get a peek of the game before release?... anyway, Im very interested but will probably wait with application until ive played the game for some time, but you never know
(I would applay as a world builder)
And "Dyngo" is a pretty bad Forum name... I just picked one, as I wasnt planing to stay on these boards. But Ive followed the discussions here for some time and I got stuck (you all seems to be pretty nice, and I like the fact that both offsite GM´s and office(?) GM´s are here as well). So if its possible, I will change my name (or redo my account). As I got the feeling I will stay here for awhile
Sorry for making this too long, and probably boring.
But, Hello to you all!
