Hey guys and gals.
I've been keeping up with TSW since it was first announced (how many years ago?). Horror-themed mmo is right up my alley. Unfortunately, turns out I'm the only one of my friends who has a computer that can run the darn thing. So for a while now, I've been casually playing it by myself. While the game is great, perfectly fine for going solo, I plan on sticking around for some time so I figured I'd try to make a few friends online and enjoy the game on that next level. Apparently being "social" is important to the human experience.
Obvious next step: Join a cool cabal.
Nine Swords caught my eye from the start. Great setup. A clever idea. But not as intimidating as some of the other equally well-designed cabals. I get the feeling I don't have to be an mmo-gamer of 20+ years to join, which is good, because TSW is only the second MMO I've played. And unless horror and dark fantasy suddenly gets popular again, I doubt I'll play any other MMO in the near future. The one before this was SWTOR, which felt like JRPG: Grind, grind, grind -- Ooh, something interesting -- grind, grind, impossible boss, throw the controller, rage quit.
I'm primarily a console gamer. I. Love. My. Xbox. But, hey, TSW isn't on console, so here I am. I'm also a writer (aspiring) which explains this novel of a post.
Hi.
