Welcome to the The Wandering Druid of Tranquility blog.
My character’s name is Ga’len. My name is Riley and these are some of my character’s adventures.
Some history on my MMORPG gaming experience. I started back when the Internet was not publicly used as it is used today. I started out playing a few games on BBS’s (Bulletin Board Systems) playing TradeWars 2002. I grew into the MUDD scene when I obtained my first Internet access account through a dialup account and a FREEnet system called CAPaccess in Washington, DC. MOTU or Masters of the Universe was a MUDD I played for about a year before I began to play more advanced games, such as Diablo and a few other ‘online’ games.
Fast forward to this decade. I was looking for a new game and a friend suggested that I try out Star Wars Galaxies. Needless to say, we are no longer friends.
I came to EVE purely by a chance suggestion from my wife. I tried things for a bit and went back to SWG as I simply did not have the time to play MMORPG’s. Then the Star Wars Galaxies debacle known as ‘The New Game Experience’ came along and killed that game.
I came back to EVE and promptly started a corporation for my SWG guild. Unfortunately World of Warcraft had a larger pull for my old Guild mates. So, after a brief encounter with a group of really cool players, I joined up with them. The Really Awesome Players (TRAPS) was a great home for several months, however, I was not used to the play-style that was required to be a truly contributory member of the corporation. It was with regret that I resigned myself from the corp.
I stayed in an NPC corp for a short time and decided that the only way I was going to get use to PvP was to form my own corporation again. This time, it’s not part of any guilds from any other MMORPG’s, it’s a new entity starting from scratch. I am also planning on not having any corp members, at least, for the next year.
Yup, just myself. Why you may ask? Well, pirating in an NPC corporation, as fun as that can be, does not allow me to declare war on another corporation or allow another corporation to declare war on me.
So, I created the Wandering Druid corporation and started my life as a one man corp, wandering about the universe. I messed about for a while, ended up joining up with a pirate corp for gang fun, they petered out, did my one man corp again and one afternoon, I was recruited by the Neo Spartans, flew with them for over a year, helped the form their alliance and what not. After being a pirate for almost 2 years, I wanted to do something different. A very nice gentleman named Thorvik in game kept bugging me to come and fly with him in Ushra’Khan. He thought I would find a lot of fun role playing and flying with one of the oldest alliances in the game. Thankfully he was right and for a time I flew with them, thinking that I would stick around until they reclaimed Unity Station in 9UY4-H. That seemed to happen much quicker than planned. That coupled with my desire to be more of a roaming pilot that engaged in space holding warfare led me back to my piracy roots. HellFleet is my current home.
There are a few rules while you visit my blog:
- Enjoy yourself. This blog is meant to be entertaining. I hope you enjoy it as much as I both enjoy finding inspiration for the posts.
- Make comments if you wish. All comments are moderated. It’s my blog and I do keep a fair and open mind, but I will not abide mindless babble in comments to posts. Mindless babble is my job, that’s why I have this blog. If you want to engage in mindless babble, start you own blog and tell me about it, I will happily list it in the OPML Download.
- Really, enjoy yourself!! That’s what this thing is for!!
