    Smile Aloha Peoples!

    Hi,

    My name is Jade (often Jadeine or Jadelynn). I just recently received the acceptance e-mail and would like to thank all those that participated in that decision making. I look forward to becoming a full member of The Duchy of Wessex as well as to get to know and befriend its members.

    I currently live in Texas, am a married mother of 3 younger children, 2 boys and one girl. I attend college working to get my BA of Sociology. I am a very avid gamer and you can oft find me online for 8+ hours of the day when im not tending to kiddo's or swamped in school work (this semester I have an English class so already a bit swamped).

    I haven't quite figured out which direction I will go character wise for Darkfall simply because I'm very unsure what it will be like and I'm sure I will have a better idea once i get to test the water. However, in my past gaming experiences I tend to go with Mages, Healers and Crafters so Im sure my choice will likely fall in those lines. I am not a pk oriented person and tend to despise griefing and random pk'ers but enjoy a good guild war or a purposeful pk event or action.

    I'm thinking this introduction is getting a bit long so Ill wrap it up. Hope to meet you all and eventually have some awesome gaming experiences with you!

    DAMN! Married. :P

    Oh well, how old are the children? Will they be playing Darkfall too? And you can never have an introduction that's too long. Always a pleasant read when the newcomer is literate.

    Welcome!

    EDIT: On second thought, considering your age, I seriously doubt they're able to master a computer yet. Well, when Darkfall comes out in 2015, they should be about ready!

    Kiddos are 7yr old boy, 4yr old boy and 3yr old girl. The 7yr old is already becoming an addicted gamer when we let him play LOL. We use to let him play DAoC at 5yrs old and he could pk skilled adults better than most average players. Haven't decided if Ill let him play Darkfall yet. My younger two unfortunately even when 2015 hits I doubt they'll be gamers. 4yr old is Autistic and 3yr old has severe learning disabilites, both born preemie ; one by 13 weeks one by 16 weeks early. 2lbs 10 ozs and 2lbs 1 ozs. (for those that are going to ask if I know what caused the probelms)

    Being autistic means he has a step up on quite a few people on the net. At least he can say "yeah I have autism" instead of suspecting he has autism because nobody likes him because he roars like a dragon and complains about humans all the time. (otherkin retards do this, and they're apparently all autistic) I'm probably really smart, but in elementary, middle and highschool I was stuck in fuckup battalion because I have ADHD and I thought my teachers were dumbasses and I knew everything. Ah, how wrong I was. So I generally am familiar with all sorts of physical, learning and mental disabilities. One kid had something wrong with his legs and had awesome pimp canes for hands (they wrapped around his wrist and he'd let me wear them) and another, I distinctly remember, had some serious mental deficit. Both, I think, were the most honest people I've ever met. Then there was the rednecks who were genuinely stupid and didn't try/care, and another who had OCD (yes, I'm serious, that was his disability) who was insanely intelligent.

    Small school districts handle things differently. It's like bizarro-world when it comes to things regarding any disability. So I wouldn't put it past your two youngest to find salvation in a computer. Provided they get past that initial high learning curve when it comes to using a PC for the first time. With that, I have some advice: Get a really junky computer, and let them have it. They'll employ their natural human learning method of "dick around with it until something happens!" It teaches things or something, or at least it taught me a thing or two.

    But hey your seven year old sounds like a fun guild-mate. :P I was playing Battlefield 2 with an 11 year old boy the other day. Young minds pick up things FAST, and if it wasn't for my experience he probably wouldn't need the two hour long mentoring session I gave him on sniping.

    Well, the funny thing is that by the time Darkfall comes out the seven year old will probably be old enough to play. ;-)

    I'm glad you've found Wessex and are thinking about the type of character you'd like to be here. One of the things I wanted to do when designing this clan as an idea was to provide a place where one really could pursue many different character types and have a fulfilling, immersive experience with each.

    We're really glad you decided to try us out. Welcome to Wessex.

    Hello there Jade, Welcome to Wessex!
    Had any thought about what race you like to play?
    Dwarf, Human or Mirdain(elf)
