What is your Discord Name (name#1111) ?

______________________________
What is your Age?
(as long as you are kind, handle yourself with maturity, you are welcome! Just know many of us are old farts.)
45 years old.
______________________________
Where are you from? (location/timezone)
Maine, East Coast time zone.
______________________________
Have you read the rules? Do you agree to them? And which rule resonates best with you?
I have read the rules and the one that resonated most with me is "safe zone". I am disabled and tend to have pretty high playtime, in the past this has led to some derision. I would love to have a community that I can play with without being labeled with derogatory terms.
______________________________
Do you understand(written above) you must be active in order to maintain your membership status to the community?
Yes, I tend to be very active in these games.
______________________________
Do you have any friends who are Members? If so, who?
My wife just joined today her username is Cosmic!
______________________________
How did you hear about the Crafting Worlds?
We found your post on the reddit recruitment forums and it seemed far and away the best fit for us.
______________________________
Why do you want to be a part of Crafting Worlds? (this is probably the most important one)
Where we live and the current climate of the world has left me a bit isolated. I long for a community that I can share my stories and love of MMOs with. Reading through applications with my wife I saw so many shared experiences that I could empathize with. I feel in many gaming communities today other players have just become a means to an end, it was very refreshing to see people actually wanting to get to know each other.
______________________________
What was your first/favorite creative outlet? (optional)
I would have to say it was probably when I got my koala pad for my Commodore 64. Being able to draw on the TV seemed so fantastical back then.
______________________________
What were your first gaming experiences? (Console, PC, pen & paper, board games etc.)
My first console was the Sears Roebuck Pong. It was really the Atari 2600 that drew me in though. I remember going over to my Uncle's to play Demon Attack until he surprised us at Christmas and gave me his 2600, coolest uncle ever.
______________________________
What games are you currently playing/looking to play with the Crafting Worlds community?
I tend to really have one main game especially when it comes to MMOs, I do however play some Hearthstone battlegrounds on the side now and then. I am always open to trying new games though!
______________________________
What role do you find yourself falling into in games? (For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social, etc.)
I tend to play both PVE and PVP with perhaps a slight nod towards the PVE side of things these days. That said we haven't been this excited for a new MMO in quite some time and have taken this week off to enjoy the new MMO launch magic.
______________________________
Were you ever a part of a community? What was your experience?
In my younger days I worked for an arcade chain on the East Coast (Dream Machine) and we would all game together after work. Back in these days gaming wasn't as mainstream and they became my second family where we could talk openly about our passion for gaming without fear of having our lunch money stolen. Most of them have stopped gaming as we have gotten older leaving me a bit of a man without a tribe.
______________________________
What will you bring to the Crafting Worlds community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping? Cookies!?)
I have been fortunate enough to have been in the right place at the right time frequently in my gaming history and as such have some really interesting stories (at least I like to think so!) to share with the community. I also tend to have high playtime so I am usually always available to lend a hand!
______________________________
Tell us about yourself or anything else you'd like to share. The more we know about your the better!
I am a classically trained hermit that lives with my wife and 2 Corgis (Finn & Newton) in a tiny house on a beautiful pond in Maine. I am a lifelong gamer that has really found my home in MMOs. Ultima Online (Atlantic) was where I started and have tried just about every other MMO to some extent. The main ones I have played are Everquest, Warhammer Online, Ultima, GW2, WOW, and Age of Conan. Other than gaming I love nature and since the pandemic have gotten back into fitness and have lost 125+ pounds in the last year and a half. I suffer from cPTSD and can sometimes be a bit of a junkyard dog at times, meaning it can be hard to earn my trust at first, but those who do find a friend for life. Thanks for taking the time to read all of this and I hope we can get to know each other better soon.
