Okay, enough third-person....
I started gaming on the PC with the release of DOOM and Duke Nukem. My first online game was Quake (Deathmatch & Capture-the-Flag), followed by multiplayer Star Wars: Jedi Knight. Some of my friends and classmates at the time were playing EverQuest, and while I was curious about it I never played it. My first-ever MMO was 2003's EverQuest Online Adventures on the PlayStation2. It was on EQOA that I met some folks that have become my best friends to this day. After playing EQOA for two years, I wanted to make the move to PC-based MMORPGs, and intended to jump to the newly released EverQuest2. I found that EQ2 was a bit beyond the specs of my computer then, and a friend showed me World of Warcraft. After playing WoW for about 3 years, I was ready for a change and wanted a new game. I was thinking of trying Vanguard, until I heard about Vanguard's technical issues. Then my friend who had showed me WoW and my friend from EQOA both told me about Lord of the Rings Online. I was instantly intrigued and excited.
I tried LOTRO on the 10-day buddy pass in early May 2007 and was immediately hooked. I bought LOTRO before the 10 days expired. I will be playing LOTRO for as long as Turbine keeps it online. Naturally when I started playing LOTRO I looked around for a few good websites for maps and info, having been familiar with Allakhazam. I found LOTRO-wiki.com and really liked it. I had contributed sporadically to a several websites for EQOA and WOW but really liked the wiki format of LOTRO-wiki, and decided to make this site my primary contribution.
Though I've been occasionally visiting Wikipedia.org for a long time, LOTRO-wiki is the first wiki that I have contributed to after getting familiar with wiki coding. After a few months of editing on LOTRO-wiki, I was proud to be added to the "Contributing Editors" list, and recently was honored to be granted Administrator status with LOTRO-wiki. Thanks everyone!
In June 2008, after 13 months of playing LOTRO, I finally made the upgrade to Lifetime Subscription taking advantage of the Anniversary Celebration pricing. /cheer
