About me
Hello to you!

My name is Eve and I'm from Vienna, Austria, Europe. I love fantasy-literature, mangas & comics, RPGs and other kinds of PC-games. I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online since release in April 2007 on the German roleplaying-server Belegaer, and the Indie-MMORPG Ryzom since Beta 2003. I'm a rather hardcore-roleplayer and lore-nerd as well, despite being female :D My significant other accompanies me at roleplaying in my favorite MMORPGs sometimes but he prefers browsergames and adventures a bit more.

My Wikia-avatar-picture is from Hello Kitty Online. This small and much too pink MORPG aimed at children and women is all but great, to tell the truth. But I still stand by it. Maybe simply because I am still feeling angry about those "oh-so-cool"-guys who are making fun of this online-game and its community, even though they know nothing about it at all.

The sole reason I started playing HKO was because of my feeling of resistance against those contempting statements about an RPG that does not glorify virtual killing. Also it really scares me that - mostly female - lovers of cute and seemingly "non-violent" games are being derided and ridiculed by certain males who don't even seem to be gay. How are those guys treating women and (their) children in real life?

After having played quite an amount of computer-RPGs for many years since Ultima IV and Bard's tale back in 1985 I'm somehow feeling a bit fed up with the overwhelming heaps of grindy, boring and not very brain-challenging non-stop-fights most RPGs "feature". Especially when you compare this genre of games with pen & paper - RPGs and their wonderful sense of creativity and adventure..

In summer 2010 I just somehow discovered the HKO-Wikia by coincidence while surfing and I realized that it had been deserted since 2009. Most of the entries had even been from 2008 and the game had changed a lot since back then. The HKO-Wikia was depicting a totally different game from the actual version of 2010.

Considering that HKO is being played by children as well and a Wiki should be helpful to them I decided to give the HKO-Wikia an update, even though an "official" HKO-Wiki exists as well. I have made more than 2000 entries and pics since then, and I'm still keeping an eye on the HKO-Wikia to take care of vandalism.

It's not easy for me though since English is not my native language. I've only been learning it in school and have never even been to an English-speaking country in person... So please feel free to correct the many errors I must have made if you please ;)

Thanks for taking a look at my profile! Eveaustria April 5th 2011
