My 2 Copper's Worth
This blog will be about mmo games, the companies that create them, and just general issues with mmo's. With the occasional blurb from my wife. All summed up by my 2 copper on the subject. Enjoy.

Well to start this whole thing off right I feel I should introduce myself good and proper. 

My Real Life

   I am a full time non-traditional (old) student returning to finish what I started a longtime ago. It's pretty fun, and also affords me some valuable free time to let my mind go here.  I got married for the first time about 2 months ago to a very beautiful gaming nerd to which my friends are all jealous. If your nice I'll post a picture of her sometime. All we pretty much talk about are mmo's.  We love them.  So it's safe to say that our house oozes a steady flow of geek on a regular basis. We have 4 cats that were all my wife's idea. She's got a thing for animals.  We reside in the heart of the midwest in good ole Iowa. Where we have a pretty simple yet fun life playing games and upgrading our rigs.

My MMO Life

This all began about 10 years ago when I bought Ultima Online by complete accident.  I had thought I bought another Ultima game, but it turned out to be one of my most happy little accidents. I played a miner/blacksmith there for about 2 years never really adventuring as much as outfitting the adventurers. I moved on to Everquest for a short stint, and then to SWG until the "Jedi Grind" made things a little silly.  Since then I've played a myriad of games like EQ2, CoH/CoV, Auto Assault, EVE, Planetside, LOTRO, and of course the 8 million pound gorilla WoW.  Currently I have active subscrptions for WoW and just restarted my CoH subscription to check out the new updates. I truly love this genre of gaming.  I love the idea of having my own personal little adventures in what ever IP I am exploring at the time. Nothing else in my mind compares to the fun and the friendships I have had in mmo's.

So that's just a little bit about me to get things started. I will try to update this post on a weekly basis so keep checking in.  I look forward to interesting dialouge between us, and if there is an issue or a game you would like to hear about drop me a line and I will do my best to accomodate you.

Thanx,

Ivan
