Going to church soon - hope everyone here that is in Daylight Savings Area was able to adjust. (Not a fan...but now I leave on the east coast. sigh.)

Have to catch up after I get back. I love the response! Thanks everyone.

Nice, we have a bit of similar history!

35 years old, permanently relocated to Sydney 2 years ago. I am an executive chef, have been working in kitchens since before I got out of high school.

My dad was big into tech stuff before it was a thing, we had computers and internet at a time when none of my friends had it(early 90's) Played multiple consoles and many computer games growing up.

Got hooked with the MMO type games while visiting cousins in Texas after I graduated from High school, they were playing The realm online....I was hooked immediately.

I have played too many MMO's to count since then. I met my wife while playing WoW, she was a guild friend of one of my servers at my restaurant, she was still in Australia at the time.

7 years later, we have two kids and live in Sydney, Australia.

Australia has been so very good to me as well, would HIGHLY recommend anyone to visit....but be careful, you WILL want to move here lol.

I don't play teso, but I've noticed a wide variety of surprising people play skyrim. I've ran into geeks, jocks, white trash, professional wealthy advlts, kids, artists, drug addicts, punks, hippies, goths, country boys, hot chicks, etc etc etc that love skyrim. It can be really surprising. Sometimes even like "really... you?" in a kind of negative way, like I thought I was in a more esteemed group, lol.

Hey all :smile:

49 yr old male from Adelaide, South Australia. Recently retired, so hoping TESO really comes up with what I'm hoping and thinking it may be as I do have time to spare. I've played many mmo's over they years and recently have pulled away from them as nothing seemed to be doing it for me.

So with renewed hope and enthusiasm I am eagerly awaiting release day - well maybe a few days after release as those first few days can be rather annoying.

Hopefully I might bump in to a few of you in game

All the best

I'm 20, living in Poznań, Poland. I study finance and accounting. I had a part-time job most of the time I've been here, but I quit recently because the workplace atmosphere went to hell and it just wasn't worth it. I'm looking for an intership now.

I have a ton of games I'll never have time to play (I blame Steam sales). I discovered TES about 8 years ago when my sister's boyfriend tried to get her into Morrowind; he failed spectacularly, but left the disk and the rest is history. I like swimming and horse riding, I trained kung fu when I was younger. I have social phobia, so I will not be talking to you on voice chat - grouping up for a dungeon is frightening enough.

My flatmates had a large board games collection and we used to play every weekend. They moved out last year. I miss them (or their games? :blush:)

Start collecting board games, find some friends of your study that also like to play, have them bring in friends and you'll be having a solid group of boardgamers in a few months. Granted, it may be a bit difficult with social phobia.
