About Me

Presently, I'm "The Wanderer" on these forums and other ArcheAge related forums, such as ArcheAgeRoleplay.com, the website I host and administrate with the designer and co-administrator "The Sorcerer." I am a huge advocate of roleplay both in and out of MMORPGs, though MMO-related RP seems to be my forte. I am a habitual gamer, spending nearly all of my free time playing games and creating content and communities for the games that interest me most. My present kick is Aion, where I play on the North American server Israphel as an Asmodian. I have more alts than I care to count, but my primary character is named Isceroth.

Additionally, I have a passion for Asia and Eastern-Asian culture. I studied Japanese for several years, but have recently fallen out of practice. I have before entertained the idea of returning to college as an Asian Studies major, but there are no concrete plans to do so at this moment. I am becoming more and more interested in South Korea, and have in the last few years found myself drawn to Korean pop music and television, just as I was once drawn to Japanese pop and rock music, as well as Japanese television.

In real life, I go by the name "Nik." That's a nickname for "Nikolas." I am twenty-five years old, celebrating a birthday in mid-August. I hold an A.A.S degree in Interactive Design, and do not presently work in that field. My aspirations for the future are to return to school to study game design, which, although cliché, is something I think I'd be able to excel at given past limited experience with various OOP languages, flash design, and 3D animation/rendering.

Overall, I fondly embrace the title of a "nerd." My hobbies range from various television shows to odd little hobbies.
Entertainment wise, I enjoy any of Star Trek seasons, especially Voyager and DS9; old fantasy favorites like Xena and Hercules; modern HBO epics like Game of Thrones and True Blood; shallow sitcoms and cartoons like the Big Bang Theory, Family Guy and Futurama; foreign dramas like Dream High, Boys Before Flowers, Hana Kimi, Last Friends, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, and Akihabara @ DEEP; anime like Durarara, Beyblade, Death Note, or any Gundam series; children's cartoons like the Regular Show, Gumball, and Avatar.

I have the odd little hobby of collecting MG Gundam kits on a 1/100 scale, and enjoy smoking shisha in my hookah, and playing both the dumbek and the djembe. I go to the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, where both I and my ex-fiancee worked in 2008 as a drum and dance team, performing during the morning, noon, and the four o'clock queen's tea. I go to a sci-fi convention yearly to partake in free booze and nerdery, known as CONvergence, and have recently stopped attending the more child/teen-oriented Anime Detour, though I have attended Anime Central near Chicago for the last three years and will go again in 2013. I'm also a fan of the Korean dancing game Pump It Up, though not so much of it's Japanese counterpart Dance Dance Revolution.

All in all, I am very much looking forward to ArcheAge stateside, and to being a part of this community for a long while to come. Already some of my best friends from Aion have also taken notice of the game through my word, and having them beside me will make the game all the more enjoyable, as well as new contacts I may meet through this site or ArcheAgeRoleplay. I am presently playing in the Korean release as the characters Wanderer and 닉얼.

I really hope Trion has little to no cash shop. Account services only, imo. I'm sick of all the nifty aesthetic things only being available for real money.

I've played RIFT back in the days.. and I can tell you it was a brilliant game.. but now they ruined it for me with the F2P & cash shop.. (( the expansion wasn't top-notch, either ^^ ))

Agreed. Any non-account service item in-game is an item taken away from a crafter.

If you think RIFT is ruined because of the cash shop and F2P, you couldn't be more wrong. Server populations are at an all-time high and updates are coming out faster than post-Hartsman. The only thing that got "ruined" was merchant windows.

Have been playing the FFXIV Beta. I'm very pleased with it. It's great, for a themepark. :D

Couldnt agree more with the both of you :) The First 3minutes of the game was fun, but that wore off, and you see it all. Hehe.

At least it´s a Final Fantasy AND its pay to play. Fair enough to give it a try :)

I enjoy it :) Have been playing the beta as well! Its a nice change to their first attempt. I'm sure people will give it a rough time since indeed it is a theme park. It will be one of those games I will probably pick up eventually just not at the start.
