k so yea I am new to these forums and new to the game. I just wanted to stop in and say hello to my new home. I have played AD&D since it release as Basic D&D, actually I played when Chainmale was out "whew" I'm old =P. I have not played the pen and paper version in years but I think I basically own everything in print that is second edition and back of all game worlds, yea ok so I was an adict (winks) I moved on to online MMO games like EverQuest and then on to Dark Age of Camelot. I pretty much played on nothing but FFA PvP servers or team PvP servers. Over the years I guess in my old age it has become harder and harder to compete with these young kids and there cat like reflexes hehe so I have slacked off alot on my gaming.

With the recent passing of our gaming father Gary Gygax, I am not sure why it hit me as hard as it did, but I really was broken up by his passing, I guess maybe my passion for the game up until they retired second edition, and maybe me meeting him several times, even being DMed by him a few times at Conventions ... I got to thinking about DDO. I think what really pulled me here was seeing the Gygax tribute video from this server which by the way was very well done. I skipped past the trial and just went and bought the game. I guess I am really wanting to make this game work hehe.

Anyways once I figure out the class I want to play as my primary, I will create and name it Damaja for those who might see me in game and remember me from here. ok well, I have rambled on enough hehe sorry to take up your time on this pointless thread hehe Maybe I see some of you in game. If you see the name Damaja /wave a hand at me
