Myself
IRL I am living in Sweden, married, two mature sons, and enjoying food&beverage, travelling, books, and MMORPGs. I work as a support manager & software developer at a large chip manufacturer, working with Simics, a full-system simulation platform.
Gaming-wise I stick with a game for quite some time, levelling slowly with several toons on parallel. Before Lotro I played SWG for several years where I was a renowned crafter within the community, and lead developer of SWGAide (still at SourceForge). I have always enjoyed spending as much time helping others outside of game (at fan-sites like this, and forums) as engaging in combat as well as non-combat in-game. I miss the crafting we had in SWG though, Lotro is ages behind in that respect.
2014 I decided to take a break from Lotro due to personal and family reasons. I played The Secret World for a while but switched back to Star Wars again, but to SWTOR. Now, Oct 2021, I am trying to revive my Lotro toons again, or if I will start all over from scratch. Let's see. Either way, you will likely see me here.
Though I prefer RP servers I am not a hard-core RP but I adapt to the situation; hard-core RP-ers would probably try to correct me anyway ;) Lotro has the advantage that I am brought up with the lore, I read the trilogy and other works already as a teenager, a long time before the movies (ignoring the one from 1978). Another preference of mine is the graphics of the game; I often decide whether to continue playing or not from the looks of the game --- superficial? Sure ;-) But that's me! And I like Lotro in that respect.

At this Wiki...
One of the first thing I run into at this wiki was the wake after some game updates and location pages that could be updated. One thing lead to another and now I am scanning and updating whatever in one region after the other, beginning with the Starter Areas. Since quests, NPCs, deeds, and more are always bound to locations they are often polished in some way.
This was a bit of me, welcome to my talk-page :) — Zimoon (talk) 18:13, 7 February 2012 (EST)
- Back in game after a 7 year hiatus. It feels good to be back, and as I see something that need's polishing or fixing I will do it, usually on the fly. So far Lotro-Wiki looks great. We'll see where my journey takes me with editing ;-) — Zimoon (talk) 00:46, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
