My name is JD Conrad and this is my Blog. I am also known as Ceren.
I play Ceren a L72 Paladin in a digital world called Norrath..
Im starting this blog to record from day one my adventures in learning how to become a great team player and junior raider in EQ2 Live.
The learning curve complexity and challenge of a high end multi million dollar MMO is daunting for many especially of my generation who played the original D@D with dice miniatures maps on graph paper and a collection of dice.
The technological change that has happened since the 1970s is something we could only dream of when working out damage mitigation on Texas Instruments Scientific calcs and nerd raging at our friends when they did something stupid.
Now we are in a complete world with its own economy society and memes with relationships that span age race and philosophy and are working together or solo to meet our goals : fun, new friendships new challenges
immersion in a fantasy world and a sense of a new type of group or co operative community.
I would like to explore in this blog my time spent in the persistent world of Norrath and how I as a older gamer learn the ways and arts of the grouping and raiding culture. I am nearly Fifty but have heard of Eighty year olds playing in our world of Norrath.
I hope this will help both Newcomers as well as experienced players and guilds who would like to share feedback experience and support with us on our journey .
This should be a warm supportive island of ideas experiences and support as well as challenge and laughter. The pressure is internal a pressure to be the best one can.
