    Just turned 35 and I started with UO in high school at 16 or 17.  I've played several MMOs since, except for the last 2 years or so, due to there just not being anything that catches my interest at all.  It looks like that is about to change, there are a few interesting MMOs coming out over the next 2 years, Pantheon chief among them.

    I'm 25, will be turning 26 soon. Moved to the Pacific Northwest to finish my degree and I also work doing consulting and business development/planning.

    I've played a few MMOs, started with EQII, then SWToR, GW and finally GW2 before leaving that a little over a year ago. I primarily play single player RPGs now like The Witcher and Dark Souls series. For the most part, just experiencing and enjoying the world and life and doing what feels right in the moment. I'm excited to see such a well-rounded group of players looking forward to Pantheon.

    32 y/o male, wife is being trained on easier MMOs as I type this (SWTOR), daughter is also in training, 'System Analyst' for time management software... the vague title seems to be a way of getting me to do stuff from QA testing to system audits to general help desk stuff.

    It pays for the ale so I'm not complaining.

     

    Did this thread remind anyone else of the "A/S/L?" stuffs from chat rooms... are there still chat rooms? If so, is this still used?

    35 y/o Aussie male. Wife likes fps', hoping she will pick up my 2nd copy and play with. Been gaming since the early - mid 90's, with EQ being my first (and best) MMO.

    52 y/o Male , fabricating one-off tooling and performing non-destructive testing in the Aerospace Industry.

    I first started gaming on a Commadore 64 back in 1984 ish. Started out on computer games playing Wizard of Wor and M.U.L.E . Considered an Old School Gamer now I guess, but I don't feel any different; I just like a little challenge and the unexpected in a game. As far as online mmo's go I have played EQ, EQ2, Earth and Beyond, Starwars Galaxies, Vanguard, World of Warcraft, and ESO. Everquest left a lasting impact on me and hope to recapture even just some of that feeling on Pantheon.

    I am married to a ranger from Surefall Glade, Protector of the Pines or some such thing she calls herself, dangerous with tongue, bow, and swords; nature made her quite beautiful too.

    44 years gone, and hopefully another 44 ahead.  Played D&D since 1980, pc games since the 80s, MUDs in the 90s and EQ starting in 2000.  Played EQ, EQ2, VG, WoW, and many others.  Somewhere in there I picked up a wife, two kids and a job in upstate NY.  I guess I got a lucky drop somewhere!

    I'm a 57 year old registered respiratory therapist specializing in emergency and critical care.  Luckily I'm not saddled with a husband or kids so I can do what I want in my home life.  I foresee lots of Pantheon playing in my future.

    I'll be 58 on Oct 30th.  I live in the great state of Texas, have a wonderful wife, seven kids and 8 grandkids.  I spent 6 years in the Navy as a communications specialist, after I was discharged from the navy I spent 25 years as an Emergency/Trauma nurse.  I transitioned over to the IT department 2 years ago where I now work as a clinical informatics analyst.  All those years of computer gaming finally paid off in the real world. :) 

    I started gaming playing D&D in my early teens.  My first mmo was M59, and I have played probably every mmo since.  I have participated in alphas/betas for most of the games that actually made it to release, as well as many that never made it that far.  I would love for Pantheon to be what we all hope it will be.  I'll be retiring in a few years, and I would absolutely love for this to be the game I play well into my golden years.
