Post Scriptum: I’m a great wingman, if you’re ever looking for one.

BDStyle AKA Morg

I’m 26 and work as a sales manager.

I have played more stuff than I care to remember but space sims have always been my preferred genre, shame good ones are few and far between these days.

In the online community I’m best known for playing at the Jojo and Dice/Moo and Jolt servers for freelancer. 3 years of pvp antics with most of the major clans. Ended my time there running the Wildcards [WCRDs] clan
I’ve also played Guildwars from Beta and play as monk primary in both PVE and all pvp modes.

Catchphrase
‘Fear the Brick’ will be used copiously as I move in to attack. The phrase came from a huge spawn war outside malta on the J+D server in its hey day. Someone said the titan was crap (freelancer) I then spent 2 years proving everyone who fought me wrong.

Style
I’m an honourable pirate (if its possible to be one heh.. I’m sure people we see what i mean )


I really hope this is the game I’ve been looking for since FL’s cave in.

Now thats all over with….. hey guys, great to join the community and kind of gutted I missed the first incarnation of this game.
Time to light the engines, grab a beer and look forward (please MMO god) to a great game to come.

Comment: Just when i thought MMOs are lost cause Jumpgate Evolution came like the light in long dark tunnel. I am very jaded MMO player and have seen many games come and fall. I can predict when something is going to stink. Somehow i have the feeling JGE will be a great game , answer to wishes of many people….

And really …

Game fashioned like ELITE online – what can be wrong about it ?

Heh well I hope to rectify the n00b issue fairly quickly. I’m dl’ing the client to JGC, apparently there is a sim mode so I’m going to try to get a feel for the game there. I know it won’t put me right for PVP in any fashion but nothing much I can do about that

I say let teh good times roll and I’ll see you when in space mate

Looks like us greenhorns need to band together. Who’s for forming the Noob Squad?

I better do this then

Age: 22

Discovered Jumpgate on: my EvE corps internal forums

MMO’s played/playing: EvE Online, World Of Warcraft, City Of Heroes (or at least, i used to), Guild Wars (same as CoH)

I am hoping that this games PvP is going to be as intense and strategic as EvE’s can be, since the only thing I really don’t like about EvE is the lack of manual ship control. Jumpgate seems like the perfect game for me, anything that crosses MMOs with Freespace-style gameplay is something to get excited about!

Edit: Just took the Bartle Test, I’m KSEA – Achiever 13.33%, Explorer 33.33%, Killer 100.00%, Socializer 53.33%

Profession interested in: Anything where I get to shoot other people. Do you ever get player run mercenary squads? Because I’d like to do something like that.

Faction most likely to join: Quantar. They’re the space hippies, right?
