Hi there!

Welcome to our Wiki I hope you enjoy browsing and contributing.

I started playing MMORPG's back in 2005 after experimenting with FPS, various console and PC games going back to the original Prince of Persia for the PC. Talk about graphics :D ! Before that I grew up a "Pen and Paper" roleplay fan as well as enjoying just about any kind of games. My first serious MMO was LoTRO back when it just launched. I was a total innocent. Since then I've tried and tested quite a few MMO's and have met and made many good gaming friends. Some of whom I am really looking forward to getting together with in SWTOR which is my next big focus MMO game which I can see myself devoting endless chunks of my life to.

For those who are interested Ysme my character was first born in the MMO Age of Conan and she's developed along the way as both a Forum ID, roleplay and in game persona. I have been a member and officer of the Kajidic guild for SWTOR since its formation a couple of years ago and I am the founder member of "Azalus" All Female Chapter belonging to Kajidic.

Why I started the Female's Joining SWTOR Thread

I've been a member of the official SWTOR game forums since there launch in Oct 2008. Although mostly a browser for a long time I came to realise that females gamers as a group just didn't seem to have any voice there bar a few isolated souls who where shouting into the wind. I seen this so often in the many prelaunch and post launch gaming community boards, so I decided to create the now infamous "Females Joining SWTOR" thread, one which I knew would stir up plenty of reaction both positive and negative. But it was not created for the controversy or publicity( although those things can be quite enjoyable), but for the chance to hear and discuss the views, ideas and experiences of the many girl gamers that were out there but chose to remain silent as the threads already out there just didn't appeal or encourage them to post. So I started something which has grown through the many great contributions of the female and male community into something that is both informative, entertaining and I would hope generally enjoyed by many female gamers using the forums. It's 2000 plus posts and 200plus pages are a demonstration of just how much the female gaming community has enjoyed this thread and the depth of ideas and experiences its has to share.

To me it has become many things, a celebration of gaming achievement, a voice in the community, the melting pot of ideas, an open invitation to meet and make new friends, a sharing of our excitement and love of all things Star Wars. All taken from a female perspective. A thread by girl gamers, for girl gamers for Star Wars the Old Republic.
