Not GOA. 
Ok...so who am I? What makes me tick? And what ticks me off?
Figure this is as good a place to give people a little background about moi.
Firstly, I'm not European, as in, I'm from South Africa. That means, my sense of humour is not quite the same, neither is my way of interpretting EU humour.
I was raised by great parents, and unfortunately had a father who's career shot up like a rocket, meaning we moved around a lot as kids (one brother) as his career moved along. This meant that my only real "friend" for most of my life was my brother...and we all know how that goes (I swear to this day that it was him that tried to bite me and not me that hit him in the mouth - and gave him half a false tooth - with the back of my head. )
Anyway, this meant that I was pretty much a loner. I made "friends" at school, none of which I have had contact with in the last 6+ years. I went to a university about 400 miles away from "home", and made more friends...of which I now rarely maintain contact with. I moved, yet again to a new city where I made some new friends, and yes...I now hardly maintain contact with them too. Getting the picture?
Now I find myself 10,000km's away from there. Living in a different country and timezone. Does it bug me? Not really. I am pretty much a loner. Kinda the reason you may see Glauthrong soloing, or the fact that I don't actually have that many "friends" ingame. I've known Twiz since beta. He joined me and some others in Excal-Hibernia (live) where I played a druid, and he played a hero. We joined a guild, and four of us left it in not-too-desirable style. After a few more levels, one of the guys suggested we try Midgard again. And we did, and we stayed. I asked TU if I could join again, and Twiz and I did, while the other two guys went back to Excal to end up fighting each other on opposing realms.
Twiz and I stayed, and XP'd together mainly "duoing" to our mid 30's, at which point we'd closed the gap sufficiently to join up with the main TU group. We got to L44.5 and then I went away for a bit, and in the space of 2 weeks, Twiz shot up to L50. At this point, I got extremely bored and frustrated with my Warrior, and decided I wanted to try out a minstrel. Since that time, I had a falling out of sorts with TU, kinda left Midgard, and started a second account in Albion. I have two characters there now. And am enjoying myself, once again with Twiz. I'm pretty much anonymous there (and would appreciate the continued veil) and trying out new classes and dungeons.
I arrived in EU DAoC on the 6th of January. I was a nobody (haha...yeah yeah... STILL. ), registerred at those forums, and started reading all I could find about DAoC. I got asked to be a mod, and then was approached with the EoB idea, which I took, because I used to do drama and love RPing. Today I'm just another forum user (that talks too much), part of the E&E team, and possibly the only known NPC volunteer. Yes, it's nice here, and I know I probably annoy the hell out of a lot you. Sorry, that's just who I am. I am a loner, analytical, and do my utmost to help others. I like grouping with Twiz because "he ain't stupid like half the twits I meet." There are times I'll start a party and disband a few minutes later because some of the people in the group scare me...psychotic death-groupies. So, if you ever have the curse of playing with one of my chars, sorry if my style annoys you.
Feel free to ask me any sensible questions. I just might answer. Nothing about events mind you.
I hope this gives you a bit more of an idea of the gimp behind this keyboard.
