I saw your post over at the WHC and decided to also come visit.
Here is some stuff about me.

My IRL name is Jeff, I am 37 years old and seven years into my second marriage, Vicki, with kids, 5yr old Sean, 2yr old Matthew, and now a third boy on the way.

Yes, it does feel like they are taking a break,
on my back, most of the time.
I started following WAR in mid-2007 and was accepted into the WAR Beta in August of that year. I joined the guild
Supplicium in June of 2007 and I'm still busily annoying them almost as much as I'm making my wife wish she'd missed that appointment at the church.
Funniest moment: When my mother first met my future spouse she pulled me into the kitchen and asked, with a pointed finger plus evil look, "Is she 15?" Oh I could feel the motherly respect for her offspring's decision making abilities flowing out of her at that moment.
Game background: Started playing WoW, had never mumorpugered before, when it first went retail. The chance to be an orc was just too much for me to skip. I played for a few months until a number of events all happening around the same time caused WoW to lose its magic for me. Started playing again a bit after BC went retail and had fun again for a while until PC issues kept me from playing WoW anymore. Honestly I was starting to get bored with WoW again so it was not a big loss though I do really miss the guild Tears for Gears, great bunch of guys, that I was in there.
Prior to WoW I was an online shooter fan of BF2 and then BF2142, and before that I stuck to the single player games like the Total War series.
Since WoW I've tried EVE and CoH/CoV but nothing could keep my interest as well as seeing my Orc waaaghing across the fields in springtime.
