Hello everyone! Lomgren is not my my real name, but I've been using it online in one way or another since late 2000. I've been keeping an eye on Ember since Mark started gauging interest in a spiritual successor to Firefall, because I was in love with the original concept - the sandbox, horizontal progression skill-based MMO with dynamic events, AI war, all that good stuff. One of the few of the first 500 players still around, I eventually stopped playing after the levels and massive power curve were introduced, even though I stuck it out for a while and did play some of Devil's Tusk and did Kanaloa/Baneclaw runs.
I have played too many MMOs to count, though I started with Star Wars Galaxies, pre-NGE. Since then I've played WoW and Wildstar a lot, along with FFXIV, and a decent bit of GW2/Champions online, and yes, I even played a bunch of Runescape back in the day. I've dabbled in DDO, LotRO, CoH (briefly), DCUO, ESO, Neverwinter, Skyforge, ArcheAge (good ideas, horrible execution), TERA, Blade & Soul, Ryzom, SWTOR (Worst F2P model ever), Aura Kingdom (yes, even this, because of some friends), and Ultima Online on a private server. There are probably others I have played as well, but lost to the years.
