A summary of my Spiral Knights Experience
In April 2012, exactly a year after I started Steam and on the game's birthday (all coincidentally), I joined the game after I found out it was the 2nd face of Steam (the 1st being TF2). I dropped Puzzle Pirates and TF2 for this game, as in my eyes, it was like a combination of 2 of my (other) obsessions, BIONICLE and Poptropica (greetings, fellow Poptropicans!).
I joined a few guilds, which I both left after realising they were mostly inactive. The first I had joined because I had no clue what a guild was (this was my first proper MMO, so I didn't even know what a clan was), and the second, Knights of Demons I joined at a rare time when lots of people were on at once, not to mention that two friends I made while in the guild had left (Mudplank and Ronbaa).
I became Vanguard in August, with the help of some friends, such as Geraking and Brandondasilva. I also made a Blast Network guild called Rule Of Three, which reached #1 on the Global guilds leaderboard in the week it was made!
I founded the guild with the help of a friend called Mudplank, who originally came up with the idea for a BN guild. Mudplank was a BN pro who really did get #1 on the global leaderboards whenever he was bothered. He invited some people to the guild who were good at BN, such as Streemo, Jayypro, Chaya-Girl and others. In September or October, the main BN members left the guild to make their own BN guild. Go figure. Their reasoning still evades me...and they pretty much wrecked RoT.
Meanwhile, what started as a joke between Mudplank, Geraking, and I, accidentally ended up in Mudplank leaving the guild. Geraking decided his stay was over as well, as RoT was sinking and he might as well play the field with other guilds. As far as I know, he is still in Exalt).
I left RoT and "guildhopped", as Mizukiamaya (the current GM of my first guild, Riders Of Death) put it, to some friends' guilds (I was invited to Legend of Zelda by Doom-Dude), then I settled down in a guild called The Anonymous, as two old friends of mine were there. Doctormadra, who had taken me on my first FSC run when I was a soldier, and Sibbsan, who was a selfless person who put his guild, then friends, before almost anything else. The guild changed slightly, and the majority of members temporarily moved to a new guild called Supreme Honour Squad. Long story, you can read about it only the wiki page, probably.
After I left the last two guilds, I joined The Core Coalition sometime in May (wiki page under construction), after an invite from close friend Wolf-Sin. I became Officer after a few weeks, as I'd joined at a time when the guild's rules were changing, and I made a few friends while in there, such as Tetratension. I helped in the usual ways that an officer would, but soon I started struggling in-game, due to other issues, and I also wanted to try out other guilds. I can guarantee that The Core Coalition is one of the best small-time guilds out there, they're really friendly and supportive.
Other Experiences
When I was 8 years old, I played Club Penguin. It had just been released, so it was technically not MASSIVELY multiplayer. I quit that game a year later, after Disney bought it and made over half the stuff P2P. When playing an F2P MMO, that is just overkill.
I have always liked RPGs, a reason this game appealed to me. I started playing a bunch of games by the BattleOn company, such as AdventureQuest (AQ), DragonFable (DF), MechQuest (MQ), etc etc. Unfortunately, these were not multiplayer, but then BattleOn fixed this by releasing their first MMO, AdventureQuestWorlds. It was an instant hit with BattleOn gamers, but sadly, R-L problems forced me to quit playing.
One game I did play all this time was Poptropica, a game that came out around the same time as Club Penguin, but I preferred to all other online games at the time. The developers of that game were all popular children's authors, funnily enough, such as Shannon Hale and Jeff Kinney. I played that game from 2007 to 2012, at which point I decided I'd played this game enough, and quit while I had happy memories of it. (The devs were going quite psycho on ideas for the new islands as well, IMO.)
In April 2011, while begging my older brother to help me out with the Train Robbery challenge on Wild West island on Poptropica, he offered to give me a guest pass of Team Fortress 2 to shut me up. It worked, and I made a Steam account. Win-win! Aside from the Wolfenstein games, TF2 was the first FPS I ever played, and it was the main boredom buster of that year's Ramadan.
After logging 140 hours of TF2, total, in April 2012, I was bored. I knew I wanted to try out MMOs, and Puzzle Pirates caught my attention, as I am good at them. However, the community there was tiny, as it was an unpopular game. I looked for games by the same developers, and here I am...
More About Me
Pubescent Muslim Bengali teen living in London, not a good mix. RPG lover. Bipolar, though MUCH harder to tell on the internet, phew. Lacking somewhat in common sense, so do not talk about Battle Sprites in their abbreviated form (Geraking: "I can't wait for the BS update"). Linux freak (particularly Ubuntu), Bionicle freak, ex-Poptropican, ex-TF2 pro (ex-social reject/outcast?). Grammar Nazi and OCD, another bad mix. (Did you just realise how much effort I put into making this user page look decent? I'm not just talking about the text. xD)
Why do I put all this here, you ask? Well, what are the chances of you finding this page and/or telling others, may I ask?
