About Me

I began playing since shortly after Issue 4 was released (meaning I just missed the first anniversary badge by a week -- grrrr) and City of Heroes/Villains was the first MMORPG to which I subscribed, remaining faithfully so to the end.

After the sunset, I've dabbled in other MMOs (Champions, The Secret World), only subscribing to EVE Online so far. I'm looking forward to what comes out of the various Plan Z projects.
