Greetings from the Land Down Under

Drakus · 31st May 2008, 10:43

I would just like to quickly introduce myself; I'm 29 years old with a wife and daughter, and I live in Sydney, Australia. For the past 4 years I've worked as an I.T./Marketing Coordinator for a jewellery and fashion accessory importer. I'm also into web design (mostly flash) and setting up and customizing forums and communities for guilds, but it's more of a hobby than anything.

To be honest, most of you probably have more MMO experience in your little finger than I have all together, but I like to think I make up for my lack of experience with my dedication and willingness to contribute to the MMO communities I'm involved with.

My first MMO was World of Warcraft and I'm not embarrassed to say that, because if it wasn't for WoW, I might not be playing or following MMO's today. I spent a few years playing WoW, but it got very repetitive and I soon begun to seek out other MMO's which would fulfill my gaming experience even further. Unfortunately I never found a MMO that held my interest for long and now my only hope is resting on the shoulders of Mortal Online dev's. I've also beta tested a few MMO's like Vanguard, Age of Conan and Warhammer Online which were all a great disappointments to me.

I hope to contribute to the community here and also get to know some of you. I'm really looking forward to the coming months as more information is revealed about the best kept secret called in the MMO industry - Mortal Online.

I think I can answer that.

Yes

Drakus · 31st May 2008, 22:10

Mpträ · 31st May 2008, 22:15

Welcome to the forums!

Also, very nice job on designing the Acolytes site.

Vanndal · 1st June 2008, 22:05

Welcome to the forums

, thats some insane looking guild website and definitely glad to have someone like you to be part of this game

. Just hope your dedication to the community isn't doing any harm to your family life ><.

Drakus · 3rd June 2008, 07:47

BTW I didn't realize I signed up using an extra "L" in my user name, so I had to create another account.

I use to go by the name of Drakus, but I wanted a fresh start and that name is overly used anyway. I quickly found out that no one uses the name Xulron (I don't know if that's a good or bad thing? lol) - what do you all think?

The Acolytes site was my first ever flash site I designed and I never really got around to putting the finishing touches on it. I have another flash site in development for a new guild I'm thinking of starting or for a guild that I may want to join. I just don't know what mmo I want to focus on, but I'm leaning towards Mortal Online.

Welcome, mate.

I'm new here too, and from Australia as well.

I started on MMO's with UO about 9 years ago .. had a 2-3 year break recently, then found myself on AoC. I'll stay there until MO is released, same as you

It's great to see another aussie on the forums! There is a hand full of us floating around the community.

Do I smell the possibility of an oceanic guild in the making??? lol

Spydervenom · 5th August 2008, 01:16

G'day mate.

Drakus · 5th August 2008, 01:22

I'm glad you took my advice and checked out the MO forums.

I think that guy may have been talking to me, as he mentioned he started on UO "as well", and I don't think you've ever played UO (from memory).
