Hello World :-)
My in-game name is "Pedir". Back in the dark days of DOS 6.2 and Windows 3.1 and dial-up modems with blistering speeds of 21.6kbits (on a good day - if it wasn't rainy or windy) and Netscape didn't crash Windows...perhaps 5 to 7 minutes later I could *maybe* get a game to load up :-)

/sigh

Those were the days...

'''And then!!!!! MICROSOFT made Windows95! Life became Golden for Gaming  Cable modems came out! Internet always on! Blazing Speeds!! No LAG!!! Why I could game for hours without EVER getting dropped, or my computer crashing!!! A NEW ERA BEGAN~!'''

And, I fell into the world of EverQuest. I'd always been "into" RPGs, right? Single player dungeon crawls, turn-based one player games, heavy on the story elements, the map, you may or may not ever actually finish the game - but you'd rack up hundreds of hours playing day after day after week... Well I saw a friend playing EQ one day over at another person's home for about 30 minutes and it looked interesting. Then I read about it in a prior issue of "Game Informer" (I am really bad on dates, but I think this was the second year that EverQuest had been out), anyhow you can tell by my "Sony" gaming name of "Pedir" that it is a very old name (nice and simple with no numbers of silly weird anything to it - Unlikethe nameI had to make for the 'Wiki of "Pedir00" as it's very new). Anyhow, I played EQ for seven years! Way too long, to the point that it had become more important than Real Life, which, in my world is way wrong. I'm all growed up, as of this writing am 57, married, now both retired/disabled, am more on the slower side of life and 'game' for enjoyment, for pleasure only... I switched to PS4 when I became disabled to save $$$. Last year my elder brother upgraded me to a PS4Pro for my birthday :-)  Which I enjoy greatly (Thank you Tom!)

Warframe is my first jump back into any type of real-time, many people, MMO type sorta kinda gaming again since I left EQ many years ago. Currently I mostly just solo play. I am so-far clanless. As of this writing am MR14.

I think that's enough for now. I may add more to this page if I find more info important. I love Ivara... 04/02/19  0906AM Pedir00 (talk) 13:06, April 2, 2019 (UTC)
