About Me
About the Writer As a gamer I’ve been playing games from way back. For my 8th (ice skating rink) birthday party, my parents changed the dynamics of our home by giving me a Nintendo. Super Mario Bros was a favorite. I played The Legend of Zelda, The Little Mermaid, some paint game, Knock-Out, and various others. I was a gamer in the making. I had friends who played EverQuest when it was first introduced in 1999. I never played. I had heard the news reports of people losing their jobs and spouses over the game. The obsession was so great that on a major scale, EQ changed gaming.
I started playing EQ somewhere around 2004/2005, and had a lot of fun. I made a lot of friends in game and found myself raiding in a pretty prestigious guild, Five Rings. The first time I tried WoW was in the middle of my EQ career and it didn’t seem right to me. Eventually, I left EQ and MMO’s in general. I picked up WoW again roughly a year later. This time it stuck, and I’ve been playing ever since, vowing that serious raiding wasn’t in the cards for me… never again.
The times, they have changed, and I’m still playing WoW, taking my favorite character Hestiah from Area 52-US-Alliance to Eldre’Thalas-US-Alliance to join my old friends in Apotheosis. I raided for a decent portion of the expansion, but still took my leave of end-game raiding in favor of playing for fun.
So the times, they have changed. Nearly a year has passed, and I’ve decided that I no longer wish to play WoW. I gave it up and now find myself playing Star Wars: The Old Republic. I played SWTOR for a little while, but I found myself back at WoW when they allowed you to do raids and LFR cross-server. Giving me the chance to raid with people I had known and grown to love on Twitter.

The Artist A guildie of mine had been playing around for some time with making signatures for people on the forums, and when it came time to think of a specific WoW-themed design I originally had an old web designer friend in mind to try to commission for this project. Thinking about it I’m almost glad that she was busy for a few months, because logging into the forums I thought of Osephala and immediately asked her for her help in designing me something lovely and amazing. She has been patient with my demands (there weren’t that many, I hope), and tweaking here and there to satisfy my whim. What you get is my beautifully designed and original blog design.
