Wellwell, where to start? My name Is jakob Jarefjäll, 21 years old and I'm currently living in Gothenburg, Sweden. Though from November 15 to the 20th of April, Switzerland will be my home, so if anyone is from that area and want to grab a beer or two send me a pm Also I might add that I'm a chef!

Well, I started of my humble character Ioiny Or-lo in 2004 and I played til' the middle of the Combat Upgrade. I've been in quite the few guilds with my chars Ioiny, gotch, namok and namow and the last one was my jedi. Though I want to believe that I'm most recognised as a member of the guild ReDevil's or [rDe], and I'm very proud for that since rDe back in the days where a stunning guild. I was a pvper most of the days though had my friendly crafter (namok) and runned a mall on LOK "The yellow twilek clothing". though when I return to the game I plan to destroy you all on the battlefield!

My mmo history is well quite short compared to others I guess. I did play the ordinary teenage games like diablo, cs and them as well but it wasn't until a very good mate of mine asked me if I wanted to join up in swg. I didn't know much about the game back then but read up, played his char in the beta and joined shortly after the real launch and was stuck till they destroyed the game with the combat upgrade (levels really??)

Now, I'm playing WoW to get the time going though I'm testing out pretty much everything the redevils members playing (dark and light, WAR, LOTRO, Age of conan, Pirates of the burning sea and such). Though I can't be arsed, I want one game and that is Star Wars galaxies pre-cu.

My goal here on EC have always been to help and offer my services for the sake of the server and I will continue with that spirit. And I was very flattered when they asked me if I wanted to join up! Hopefully old grudges can be laid aside in order to create the best server out there which without any doubt will be this one.

Long Live Chimaera!

My name is Steve Todd, and I'm a 30 year old guy from County Durham, in the north-east of England. I'm married, lucky enough to have a wife who also plays MMOs, and we're parents to a fabulous little girl who's two and a half years old.

I've been a player of MMO's for around the last 10 or 11 years or so.

In no particular order; Anarchy Online, City Of Heroes/Villains, Dark And Light, EVE Online, EQ2, Pirates Of The Burning Sea, Vanguard, World Of Warcraft, Earth & Beyond, and my one true love - Star Wars Galaxies.

I was leader of the successful imperial guild DarkR on the euro-chimaera server for around 2 and a bit years; before SOE ruined everything with their fisher-price style 'New Game Enhancements'. Along with our dedicated mayor Agi'nor and the other great guys, we raised the mighty metropolis of Reavers Retreat out of the shining sands of Lok.

My original character was called Tylk, a BH/Mpistoleer mix which was lots of fun, and latterly (and from thence, primarily in many people's eyes) Deepsea Coldwater, the blue-skinned Mon Cal.

I was a crafter of solid reputation, a Shipwright, who could spend all day talking 'shop' about crafting if given the chance. I specialised in making custom loadouts for the discerning pilot, distinguishing myself from the largely mass produced efforts of other Shipwrights.

I can proudly say that easily 80% of my wares were made by hand, to order, based on very specific pilot requirements explained over a friendly meeting in the waiting room of my workshop. I did it for the love of it, as much as the credits, and I think this came through in the care and attention I gave to every customer.

I also enjoyed dabbling in politics, especially those relating to new and interesting ways to wipe Rebel bases off the map at regular intervals. As DarkR leader, I was a member of the very successful Imperial High Council, a collection of powerful guilds which helped to co-ordinate staged assaults on rebel installations right across the server.

By day, I was a mild mannered Shipwright - but by night, for quite some time, I was one of the much derided but incredibly fun to play 'one man demo teams'. Hacking PVP base bio-engineer terminals against the clock - as reb reinforcements raced to stop us - was superb fun.

No other game has come close to the unique qualities of SWG, and nothing ever will in all likelihood. MMOs as a whole have turned away from the sandbox concept and most content is now on story paths or 'rails' as I like to say, leaving the scope for true interaction and legacy building to an absolute minimum.

I guess at heart, I'm an old fashioned Brit who highly values manners, and being polite and respectful to any who do not demand the opposite by their words and deeds. I have a reputation for not suffering fools gladly, but also being quick to help people in need, both of which I'm happy to confirm.

I'll be applying the same basic tenets to my mod-ship here, and also for my new guild DUSK once EC goes live once more.

Thanks to the powers-that-be for giving me this opportunity, and thank you all for staying within the rules - as I'm sure you will - as responsible citizens of the EC community.
