More About Me:

I'm an 18 year man, who enjoys long walks on the beach, sorry I mean long sits in my gaming chair xD. I'm all about respect and if I am given respect than respect shall be given back. I believe that being a Game Master or an Admin is more than just about having power and telling people what to do, it is about you status in the community. It is how much people look up to you for help, and how much you look up to them for letting you do your job. I feel that the feeling between Game Master and the community is one of deep, honest and mutual respect for each other. I believe that everyone deserves respect and to not give someone respect is in-moral.
I have been playing WoW since it came out. I feel that no matter how long I play it can never be boring. No matter how many times Blizzard raises the level cap, (xD) that I will always continue to reach it. On the private server side of WoW, I have been playing since the first private server's came around. I did applied myself to learning how they worked, and then eventually I created my own. It was called Exile WoW and it was patch 2.3.1. I had over 500+ player's, and at least 20 staff members. I hand picked every staff member who had the utmost respect and maturity towards the game as well as my community. I feel as if every server should do the same for they're Game Masters, is to make sure that they are there for the players and not for themselves.
When it comes to my hobbies and interests I prefer playing World of Warcraft while listening to music. Generally, the only thing I like is Eminem. I don't really like rap I just the viewpoint that Eminem has on rap. My favorite song by Eminem is "No Love" but not Lil' Wayne's part because I do not really like Lil' Wayne. I work a lot, sometimes it's like 40+ hours a week, but I still leave a lot of time for WoW, as it helps me settle down. I am most of the always available, I have internet on my phone and am able to access forums via my phone during work most of the time.
