Welcome to my little corner of the web
Hello :)
My name is Trindras, and I've been a gamer all my life. Hell, growing up, I always got the new Atari systems when they came out, but my gaming habits really picked up when I got an NES back in 1986.
Since then, I've played all sorts of games, spending most of my time and money on RPGs. I've always liked to put myself in the middle of a huge storyline, and see what happens. Growing up playing the Final Fantasy series of games, I've always wanted to play with others. That desire peaked in 1998, when I was shown Ultima Online.
Ultima Online changed the way I looked at gaming. While I didn't have my own PC then, so I was relegated to MUDs (multi-user dungeon) for my online gaming, it prompted me to get a PC in 2000 (when I could afford it), and get started in the new world of MMORPGs.
My first game that I subscribed to (like many) was Everquest. The graphics at the time were pretty good, but the gameplay was phenominal. Only problem was, it was more addictive than crack! At that time I was working 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, and playing everyquest at least 6 hours a day, 122+ on my day off. It did however draw me deeper into it's world, and dominated my life, much to the dismay of my then girlfriend.
Over the past few years, I've played many MMOs, including Everquest 2, World of Warcraft, Maplestory, and Lineage 2. The game I keep going back to though is Anarchy Online. It's not that I'm a sci-fi nut, but rather the fact that the community is so great, and there's a hardcore roleplaying community buried deep inside the community itself. I'm currently a General for a clan organization, The Voiceless.
The whole point of this blog is to give you some insight into the life of an MMO gamer. One who plays oh, 8-12 hours a day. I have so much time to play because of a few reasons. The main one being my wife is ill, and needs care daily. The other being that quite frankly, the job market up where I live is awful.
I'll try to post everyday, and keep you up to date with the various things going on in the MMOs I play currently (Lineage 2, Anarchy Online, and Maplestory), as well as random other things going on in my life. Hopefully I won't bore you, and drive you away from reading ;)

LOL
he's not kidding when he says he plays MMO's for the better part of the day. i've been to his house and played Diablo II with him. dont expect to hear stories about pwning n00bs and how hax0rizing his level 3 dark elf on [generic MMO] is. this guy didnt even have a z0mgl33t phase, he jumped right to hardcore gamer and has been on the top ever since. and he's done it all: D&D, Magic, DBZ card game, MUDs, every gaming system he could afford. i'm proud to say i've tagged along for a good deal of the time.
my only regret is that i dont have enough time and money to play as hardcore as i'd like to and to tag along more then i have, cause if i did, i would probably have a few things of my own to add to this blog.
