Hi, I'm Simon Lannis and I'm an addict.
--MMORPG background
It all started when I was just a boy. Â Age 13, actually. Â I got hooked on an MMO known by few as World of Warcraft (On the street, we call it WoW). Â I played it for about 5-6 years straight, and then, for the last three years, on and off.
Sometimes, friends would get me to try a little bit of GW2 or Rift. Â I'd get addicted for a while, but eventually, it just wasn't enough, you know? Â So, I'd go back to WoW or play some League of Legends (known as LoL at the time, heavy stuff). It wasn't easy, but I got through it.
--RP experience
RP? Well, I started about a year after I started WoW. Â I suppose I never really took it very seriously until a friend got me hooked on GW2. Â RP really helped me get through the tough times. Â Even today, I RP just so I stay on track. Â Â
How long? Â Probably about eight or nine years, off and on.
--How did you learn about the coalition?
I learned about you guys through a friend who's been going through the same things I have. Â She just told me about it and then I googled it. Â
--What kind of a role-player are you aiming to be? Light, medium, or heavy?
I'd say I'm a medium RPer. Â At some point, I tried heavy, but it was too overwhelming. Â I take RPing just as seriously as the other aspects of whatever game I play!
--Anything from real life you'€™re comfortable with sharing? (Work, school, hobbies, etc)
Oh, me? Â Well, I'm 21 years old. Moving into my new apartment soon. Â Things are going pretty well for me, and I'm still in recovery from my addiction. Â I'm in college for psychology in Michigan. Still searching for a part-time job. Â Things are getting better, I can feel it.
Unless, of course, a new game is being released soon... Â That would ruin everything.
