I'm not sure why I've become so shy on forums. Let's see if I can get over that, because there seems to be a great community here!
AHOY!!
I've only just learned of this amazing game (well, I learned of it just before the Pre-Order Beta period). And I am absolutely in love with this game and what the folks at Rare are doing.
I've pre-ordered and even got myself into the previous Scale Test (and excited to hop back in this weekend).
About me: I'm a musician, original artist. I'd been consumed with making my way through those rough waters and then was forced to take a quick break due to being diagnosed with cancer. HOWEVER, I am 100% free of it now, fully cleared (I have to go back for tests, just to make sure, but now only ever 6 months, and there's really no chance that cancer will come back). YO HO, woohoo!
Due to some other factors, I've been slow to getting my career back on the same path, and I'm attempting to make it a healthy exploration of new perspectives and potentially new possibilities.
Of course... for now, I'm considering giving up on most else and just living 24/7 within Sea Of Thieves, hehehe... :D
I'm hoping to make some new friends, form some bonds with new crewmates, I may begin to try my hand at streaming my adventures (along with some other plans I am working on with streaming services), and, most of all, I'm looking to have some great experiences in-game and within this community.
If you're at all interested, you can learn a fair amount about me (and my music) over here: https://themindstreamband.com/
(don't mean that in a pushy/selly way - just figured some may be interested and all)
Fair winds and much merriment to you all!
EDITING TO ADD:
I'm on PC and live in the States (New York, USA). My parents left the London area to settle here before I was born.
My love of pirates took a fun turn playing the Sega Genesis 'Pirates Gold!', and my characters look forward to making a return.
I rarely play console games, mostly since I got involved with mmorpgs.
I played Star Wars Galaxies since its launch, and felt like that was my most favorite game ever, but left due to the NGE (for those familiar) which completely changed the game and removed most of what I loved about it.
I, eventually, had a lot of fun with City Of Heroes, afterward.
I've not been gaming much in the past few years, and I'm starting to change that. I've just been looking for the right game for me. I enjoy Friday The 13th now and then. Just recently picked up the remastered Skyrim... And I play table top D&D with old friends, online, since we live many hundred miles apart.
