I guess it's my turn. :)
I must say that I am very impressed by everyones candidness.
Looks like I'm the oldest one here. I'm 47 and live in "Montrose" the gay area of Houston Tx.
I cant even remember how I started playing SWG, but I did. I didn't even know that it was a mmo or what a mmo was. I just thought it was something to do with my computer. I didn't even realize that it was about playing with other people LOL.
I then tried Wow and loved many aspects of the game except the concept.
Close to six years ago, I had a bad jet ski accident and broke my leg/ankle/foot in four places and found myself in recovery for a year. (It actually took 3 years, but one year without walking)
That's when I discoverd Eve and found two great groups that I played with for around 5 years. Although I loved Eve, I hated being stuck in the ship the whole time. I tried pretty much every mmo out there, Aion being the last one. Unfortunately, most of them play just like Wow, which is tedious for me.
I was only able to play STO for a couple of days in open beta, but truely enjoyed every minute of it. I'm truely looking forward to it.
3 years ago my mother died and I dealt with it by going to the gym everyday. Hence the Avatar.
I asked my best friend Jonathan to accompany me to Hawaii to spread her ashes. We went, spread her ashes in the ocean on a sailboat like she asked and then we fell in love with each other.
Today we live in her house with our two dogs Boo and Tidgey.
Since my mother left me with this wonderfull blessing, I do not have that much time to play games anymore, but I plan to find as much time as I can for STO.
I can't believe how much fun this game is, it may not be next gen graphics and all that, but it's fun, fun , fun That's all that really matters to me :)
