This is the part about me!
As the topic says i am Laurens .I am a 32 years old from Groningen (13-04-1976), The Netherlands.
I Married in august 2007 with Angrie ( correct spelling). and we live together here
My Job is Advisor at ABN AMRO Bank where i give advise/sell retirement arrangements.
Main hobby's:
- Football:
- Gaming on PC:
I started gaming on the C64 with my favourites back then : International soccer and Defender of the crown ( C64 with 5 3/4 " discdrive!!). After that i switched to PC with my first real addiction being Dune 2 and Red alert 1 & 2. After that i played Diablo 1 and 2 . Sice then i have always be gaming . other favourites:Magic the gathering game on PC, Tycoon games. Civilisation. Sacred. and many more :D
- Gaming:
Magic the gathering for a few years : here i met Stoffer/Joris/Hedzer/Ingrid/Freek
AD&D but i don't do anymore
Poker, texas Hold'em : casually with friends, nothing serious.
lots of games like Settlers,Mississippi Queen, Bonanza, and many others.
About WoW: About 3 years ago I was talking with hedzer and he told me about Wow coming. My first reaction was :
"I am not going to play a game for which i have to pay monthly....I know myself and i will end up with a subscription which i never cancel and never will play."( like going to a gym)
Hedzers Answer:
"Fine then ill buy it for you and i am sure you will like it".
Well that resulted in my first ever MMORPG. After a month we( we as in Stoffer( who quitted soon but made a combeack later),Ingrid,Freek, Kim, Hedzer and me) found ourselves back as complete noobs with shaman taking in BRD.
We joined a guild after some initial hestitation and we started raiding ( 15 man UBRS!). that guild didnt last long and we ended up in something called Nexus. A bit more serious raiding guild and there we met Base ( Who listened to the very humble name Epic those days, he was GM) this guild cleared BWL and even some bosses in AQ. but the guild slowely collapsed cause of different interest and point of view form officers.
This all resulted in a split in the guild and Kim started a new guild called Easy on a fresh server named Lightbringer. We also changed from horde to Alliance. this guild is still there is one of the most stable guilds on Lightbringer.
But Again we left ... The reason , some of us allready quitted playing and during a poker night we decided that if we wanted to play again:
This resulted in Vintage
