Avid Gamer since Space Invaders.
Played table Top D&D in High School in the early-mid 80s. Meridian 59 came along on PC in 1996 and Online Multiplayer Gaming got ahold of me.
When I was sent a UO Beta invite in the Summer of 97 I saw no Daylight. HAHA
One day during release I got ganked by this guy named Famine, Roc and Myrlyn from the guild called CotD(Company of the Damned) and I ended up talking to them on ICQ (90s way of instant messaging) and then joining them.
Some time later we were forced to change the guild name and had to come up with something else so Fires of Heaven(FoH) was born.
We had the best times. (I was in the US Military at the time and deployed a lot so I missed out on stuff).
Anyway, time went on and in 1998 I came across this game called Everquest. I eventually got a Closed Beta Invite and managed to get an Erudite Wizard named "Taki" to level 26 before it closed and release date was looming. It was some of the best times of my Life.
Hello everyone,
I am so excited to be here. Been lurking awhile just taking in the atmosphere of this Game.
As a former UO Player (Fires of Heaven) I love how this game is panning out. I can't wait to see more of it and perhaps make many Friends (And In Game Enemies) 
Keep up the Great Work Devs, you may have a Masterpiece on your hands. Time will tell.
@GamerSeuss said in What are people playing while waiting for the next Alpha?:
Me, I'm playing both Old School RuneScape, and EverQuest (they have a couple new Progressive Servers, I'm on Mischief, so I get to play like back when I first started back in 1998-99 when I was a Beta Tester and then one of the first players)
Do you remember an Erudite Wizard named "Taki" back in EQ Beta?
Were you there the last days of Beta when Brad "Aradune" McQuaid (RIP) was standing outside the gates of Qeynos in his Green Ranger Armor showing off his Glowing Swords in front of us all?
I was a GM for 3 months (Military deployment took me away) where we got to run around as monsters and players would hunt us for loot. lol
Good times!!

@GreatValdus Do they Wipe before each new seasonal Test? Curious. 
Thanks.
Hey everyone,
I am Jessikat, a Retired US Navy Vet that LOVES Gaming. Loved UO (early roots as a Co-Founder of Fires of Heaven) as it let me explore all the Fun to be had.
This game reminds me so much of it and I look forward to making many Friends and hopefully get to meet some great people for what looks like a great time to come.
Happy to be here.
Jess
