Hi, I saw Turkish (my son) introduced us in his separate post.  I enjoyed reading the posts in this chain since I am old enough to have been in the beginning of online gaming.  So, going back... Online Multiplayer Battletech.  In 1990 we paid by the hour to play a I think it was 16 color game but it might have been 4 color.  I don't even want to go into what that cost per month.  I was young enough that my reflexes still worked.  But I avoid FPS now because I just get dizzy.  I avoided Everquest but somehow not WOW.  I have started and quit so many times but it is entertaining and whiles away the hours harmlessly.  Besides, my guild loves me, I give away my stuff every time I quit. I also could not avoid Travian, but I have no fond memories of that game as essentially, in my opinion, to play it correctly you had to pick on the weak until they quit. 

We mostly play card and board games and Turkish and I have gone to GenCon every year since 1990 and love to try and buy new things.  Our favorites right now are Camelot Legends and we just discover Dominion (as well as this game,)

See you all out there... and I do not mind buying some stuff as in cost per hours of entertainment it is cheap.  Just dont push me too far guys ;)
