History

My Massive Multiplayer Online Gaming Career spans over ten years and more than ten online worlds. As near as I can remember, this is how it went.

Warhammer Online

Age of Conan

Lord of the Rings Online

  • Foton’sPriest, level 70 human priest on the same U.S. PVE server, aliases: The Alt, The Main Alt, Foton’s Cleric. RETIRED: February 2008 because Flash Heal is so pre-BC.
  • Foton’sWarlock, level 70 human warlock with massive OPness, excess Auction House inventory, runecloth netherweave bandages. Hell, he’s just all about the OPness now.

The Bank Alts and Mules, created to store craft components, bank overflow and handle Auction House transactions:

  • Foton’sPaladin, level 20-ish human paladin, leatherworking materials, gems, ore and Auction House ‘ho
  • Foton’sDruid, level 20-ish fruity night elf druid, herbs and extra potions
  • Imagine at least 5 other alts created solely to hold crafting materials and quest items because that’s how stupid this game was/is with bag space. Maybe always will be.
