Hello fellow STO and various gaming world friends,
I'm Scott, located in sunny California. I have various hobbies and most notably MMO gaming, obviously STO as a beta lifer but also have a presence in Lord of the Rings Online and looking forward to Chronicle of Elyria in the near future.
I would like to thank the UFP team for the invite to the family and look forward to having many adventures down the cosmic pathway with the team!

First of all, Welcome Scott (AKA: Tavs)!
- I also live in California (love the comment about the sun that we get here)
- It is nice to see a fellow STO and MMO gamer. (Looking forward to seeing you in-game!)
- The MMO which I frequent most is The Division (Are you familiar with that game?)
I look forward to your reply, and rest assured, the pleasure of having you join our community is greatly reciprocated.

Hey Ian, thanks for welcome! I have not played The Division, my younger brother has the love for military RPG's like this, I love to watch the gaming aspect but I tend to lean more toward fantasy RPG, simulation RTS, or sim style.

Welcome Scott / Tavs!
Nice to see another STO gamer joining.
I didn't realize LOTRO was still around. I played it a little and it was fun, but somehow never really held my attention.
For my fantasy RPG fix I'm playing some WoW, but Final Fantasy XIV has recently grabbed my attention and I think I like that better. Such a well written game. In UFP there are quite a few more WoW players though.
What do you mean by simulation RTS by the way? Any games in particular?
PS.
So sorry to hear about the sun where you and Ian live. I'm in the Netherlands and the clouds and rain are much more suited to gaming.

Thanks for the welcome, Tatchi!
LotRO is still alive and well, latest expansion is very exciting... actually getting closer to tossing that damn ring into the fiery depths of Amon Amarth. I feel the folks that generally gravitate and last playing LotRo are Tolkien enthusiasts, if you are the type that just skips the NPC chatter then your missing out on all the script that was well thought out in adventure aspect of the game.
Check out Chronicle of Elyria, I have not been so interested in a MMO in a long time, brings me back to the day when I cherished Star Wars Galaxies (pre-CU!).

Welcome aboard! It’s sunny here too in the UK right nw, but I suspect the usual rain isn’t to far away, it never is.
Galaxies was indeed a great game. Yes, it was flawed and had issues, but it was fun. The CU did alter things a bit but it kept the spirit alive and streamlined the experience a little, but it was the NGE update that put the final nail in the coffin. The population of Infinity evaporated overnight when that happened.
I’ve had to scLe back the MMO front because of the kids, so STO is my only one right now, but I have started playing Overwatch again for a change of scenery.

I still play SWG on a private server! If you somehow managed to hold on to your original disks or can get a hold of them on Ebay your back in business. They have couple fully functional servers, I prefer SWGEmu as they brought it back just before publish 10.

Thanks, Petrarch!
Your absolutely right about NGE as it was definitely the final chapter to an epic game. I can totally relate to family agro and having to retreat from gaming, family/ kids are the best and most rewarding entertainment you'll ever have.
For the rest of you SWG lovers here is a flash back to the past... Enjoy!

Hiya Tavs,
Welcome to the community! Here in SoCal, we do have the best weather... but we do pay for it in cost of living!
I've been following the Chronicles development. I haven't bought into it yet, as I like to wait to play a bit more refined things and hate being a bug tester after paying $60-100 for a game. But... it does look aesthetically beautiful, well at least the environment. I'm still waiting on how the actual character graphics come out in full (like all the races). The artwork is some idea, but that may or may not translate well to actual graphics you will be looking at. Character graphics are highly important. Make or break item for me.
I dabbled in LotR Online, but it never really grabbed me. But I am a huge fantasy and sci-fi MMO player. Currently (and mainly) Final Fantasy XIV and time-to-time STO (Lifetime sub).

Thanks for the warm reception, Silynn!
I've been really focused on CoE since 2012, also a backer on the mayor level ($300 ) and the development is amazing, this is a video of the actual live pre-alpha character creation of each of the races that posted back in a march Q&A. Let me know what you think about this progress from where you last seen it!
Welcome. Nice a lotro fan

So are you a full time RP'er on Landy? Im on Arkenstone, I can't get the RP down lol so I avoid Landy as I get crucified by the player base
