[Willow]

Old married lady, with 2 boys, ages 18 and 7, and an old cat, age 14. I live in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, in a small town near Houghton. Houghton is home to Michigan Technilogical University, if you've ever heard of that, it's a fairlly well-renowned engineering and technical college. We get a lot of snow in the winter (and spring, and fall). Our summers are what you might call comfortable.

I like fantasy and science fiction, reading (just about anything), video games, walking, camping, gardening, going to Renaissance Faires, sewing costumes for Renaissance Faires.

WoW is my first MMORPG. My husband got me the first Warcraft game when we got our first computer, but then my son took over, and I lost interest. When WoW came out, I wasn't sure I'd like it, since I'm rather shy (yes, I know, hard to believe) and didn't think I'd like interacting with other real people. But my oldest son convinced me, and the rest, as they say, is history.

I'm having a blast playing the game, I admit, I'm addicted. But surprisingly, for me anyway, is that I'm enjoying the social aspect of it so much. I look forward every day to logging in and seeing my guild friends.

Purrrrrr.

[Glaze]

Semi-young pre-med college student. I attend Florida International University, if anyone has ever heard of it, its actually a huge school 30k plus students and lots of fun. I belong to a fraternity named Sigma Alpha Mu, of which many play, but horde unfortunately. I am kinda side-tracked by the game. First mmorpg I play. I was introduced to the game by Mix and fell in love with it ever since. Like many my friends think I should quit the game...who are they too judge right.
I live in Miami, Florida. Yeah the weather is amazing, though some snow here and there wouldnt be too bad. It gets really hot down here.

[mix]

I am old (38) and have a wife and four kids ages 6 to 15. The 3 boys also play, mostly on different servers. I am an ER doc in Miami (I work there with Glaze). Between my schedule and family I don't get to play nearly as much as I would like. Sometimes I even have to "retire" depending on how much wife aggro I pull.

But, like all good addicts, I never quit for too long. I have played other MMORPG's (dragonrealm, runequest, SWG) but this is by far the most fun.

As a huge Star Wars fan my entire life, I thought SWG was the pinnacle of gaming. I was a Wookie named Xakk on Flurry server. But the game could not overcome its inability to accommodate part-time players like me. I think WoW has an excellent mix for all players to take part.
I was in a very good guild in SWG, and this guild in WoW is just like it. It makes playing so much better to have people I "know" around to share things with.

See you in-game! ;D

[Jamel]

I'm a grade 11 student, I live in Toronto with my parents and my dog. Go to a private school, work at Best Buy, and I've been a big fan of every blizzard game that came out since Warcraft I, except Starcraft (never really liked it for some reason). I bought Warcraft I, Warcraft II, Warcraft III, both expansion packs, and finally, even though I hadn't played any MMORPGs before, I tried WoW and I love it. I love CoN because I get to talk to people who are inherently nice people, who are not all my age, and people who I feel have more to offer than just in game advice.

Happy Questing.

[tanna]

I am married and live in Orlando Florida. I am a Landscape Architect by day and help design those resorts you stay in when you visit Mickey Mouse. My primary hobby is playing games. I love the social aspects, the team work and the fun competition. The experience of playing WOW is greatly enhanced by being a part of this guild. On that note, thanks everyone for making a good game great.

Tanna

[Valkyree]

No idea why, but feel the need to update since my return. I'm a feisty old chick (40), I spend 4 hours a day commuting to and from Los Angeles, watching movies and playing cribbage with my fellow freaks. I tried to have a real life, but decided that wasn't much fun and I always find myself drawn back to WoW.

Been gaming online since Diablo and haven't looked back. The only stand alone games I've played in years is Dungeon Keeper I & II, which, despite the sad sad graphics, remains my favorite of all time, even above Leisure Suite Larry.

[bellatrix]

Contrary to popular belief I'm a 28 year old male,and I work for an occupational health provider. I live with Braum and Gnate in a city 30 miles south of metropolitan Nashville, TN. I am real life friends with Fundor and Andraka.

I'm a plain ol' boring person. Academically, I am still working on my Anthropology degree when I can afford to take classes at college. I like to play WoW, take pictures, become frustrated with work, play/listen to music, play WoW, dance in the grey area between sardonicism and irony, play sports games, bore friends with conversation, read, find underlying subplots in inconsequencial happenings, promote women's sufferage, and play WoW.

My characters are:

Slup - 36 Gnome Warrior

My first character on my own account. Slup is a miner-smith with no decernable personality. Slup Bumwalla was the name of my Gnome rogue on EQ, and an Eddie Izzard skit about Englebert Humperdink.

Balfor - 26 Dwarf Rogue

Balfoure Stoutfeller was the name of my main on EQ. He was a cleric, and I spent months playing him so naturally he stuck with me. I made him a rogue because it seemed to fit Bal's motiffe better than any other WoW class. Also, I shorten his name, minus a couple vowels. It's the way the Dwarven spelling should be. Balfoure was also my default D&D name. From The Hobbit (as the Dwarven name left out) and Eddie Balfour, goalie of, then, the Blackhawks.

Bellatrix - 57 Human Priest

Bellatrix was first made as a warlock on Braum's account before I had my own. She was my main. Switching to my own account put her on the back burner (because by that time I had realized that Blizzard did a really good job on balancing all the classes, chiefly the warrior... hence Slup). When I finally made her, I want to resort back to my EQW days again and be a dedicated healer. So, Bellatrix was made. Bellatrix is a major star the winter/spring months in Orion. It translates from Latin into "the female warrior".

Lestrange - 10 Gnome Warlock

Lestrange is nothing like Bellatrix, but the two are linked. He's short, pale, and hairy with a jovial demeanor but suspect motives (where as Bella is course, but sincere). He's the warlock she was meant to be. While I'd known the name Bellatrix for sometime, its appearance in Harry Potter cemented the name as usable for me. Bellatrix Lestrange is my favorite Death Eater, sister of Narcissia Malfoy, and cousin to Sirius Black (Sirius is also a star, the Dog-Star in Canis Major, the trusted hunting dog of Orion).

And now that we have come fill circle, g'night.

[sekond]

I'm not going to say I'm old, but how about older than some and not as old as others This is my first MMORPG game I've ever played and love it. The best thing about it is questing with other guildies - yes, that means every one of you. I have a Series 7 security license to trade stocks and trained financial planner, but not willing to work for commission only, so I am currently working in the Security department for ITT and working on getting my top secret security clearance. I think I forgot to mention WoW as my primary hobby, so none of you will be contacted... I love any outdoor activity and that's why I live in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains in Colorado Springs (Denver has too many poeple and scares me ) Sekond hates shopping...too many people and have to stand in line too long...not that I'm impatient (not that any of you would know about that <rolls eyes>). I have 2 characters on Shadow Council realm, but don't play them much except to go to MC and Onyxia with my other guild. I'm learning what I can to help CoN out for when we start going, which hopefully be soon. I miss people when they don't play...Valk, where are you? <Looks under chair> We miss you Valk <hugs>.

[Bama]

Semi-old guy (35 years old), living alone with 2 cats (girlfriend has the dogs at her place). I live in a suburb of Denver, Colorado, but I agree with Sekond - a little scary. "The New York of the Rockies" is a common slang for this area. I am a digital production manager for a major shipping company, and am currently in school for my Elementary Education Degree.

This is my first MMO, but what got me hooked was FF7 and FF8. I loved those games! I bought this game by accident (meant to buy WoWIII, and couldn't return it), so I just loaded it up one day. Thirteen months and 7 characters later, here I still am. I have never been in a guild before (except for the one I made, but I was the only member), so this has been a new experience for me. And hearing your voices on TS for the first time, well...that's just a whole new dimension to the game.
My favorite thing to do in-game is help out other people. I truly enjoy the group aspect of the game. Up until about a week ago, I had only played PuG's (some bad, most good). I usually spend a lot time in lower levels instances, which is why I level so slowly most of the time. My favorite thing to do in RL is fly kites (I fly 4-line quads which are basically just the "hold on for dear life, drag your backside through the dirt" type of kites). As if playing this game for hundreds of hours didn't make me a nerd, I am choreographing a kite routine to music and hope to enter into one of many national competitions.
I would just like to thank Tanna for taking a chance on an unknown, and to say that I am very proud to be in Co9! Thank you all.

Bama

PS - Bahnek I have some very close friends in Calmar and LeDuc (now that's a small world).

[Bahnek Lagerbelly]

Ha! That is a very small world indeed!

Bama it is so cool to have you with us in-game and on TS with us too!

Cheers!

[shandar]

Shandar
I'm a middle aged Female, married to Bahnek in real life, for a very long time We have two great kids, boy 17, girl 13 and yes we all play wow. My dear mate Bahnek said I should try this game and I did. I love it . I like to garden, read and watch all Animal shows. I usually play in the day, due to me being home. But not enough lately. I talk a lot and like to learn about people and places and get to know about fellow guilders. I don't talk a lot in the game due to the words going bye too fast lol. cant keep up
Hopefully I will see you all and we can chat soon take care and thanks for having me in such a good guild.

[tarill]

Tarill, 43 mage
Jayriley, 59 hunter

I'm 19, and a second year in a small college here in Kentucky. As it currently stands I'm an English major, but I doubt I'll stick with it for much longer at all. I was born and raised in Kentucky, and I really..really hope I don't end up dieing here too.

I've been playing games since I could hold a controller, but I didn't really transition into PC gaming until DII.

I spend my days at work (I work at Wendy's, during the summer, and I work on campus during the semester), and I spend my late nights on WoW or playing one of my consoles.

[quarnos]

I am 35 and real life friend of Sekond and Demaris, and live with Caliena. This is really the first game that has ever caught my attention at all. I started playing because I couldn't figure out why Sekond couldn't seem to get herself to pool league on Wednesday nights. LOL I love the community we have in the game, and as I have never been a gamer in the past, I attribute how much I like WOW to the people in the Council of Nine. I don't believe that if I was in another guild that I would have gotten hooked on the game like I have.

In real life, I am a Senior Enterprise Systems Administrator at the Air Force Space command main Network Operations Support Center. Basicly, that means I fix Servers for the Air Force. ;D

Oh, and Sekond, I saw that you didn't really want to tell your age, just remember dear, no matter how old you get, I'm always 3 months older than you. ;D
