About Me
The name Erish is a shortened version of Erishkigal, the Summerian goddess of the underworld. She was the sister of Inanna, goddess of the heavens, which is another one of my default online nicks. Inanna was already taken, so Erish I am. And yes, I am definitely female.
I'm one of the many former Knighthood players who found their way over here, and am absolutely loving this game. So much so that I made myself give it up as part of a two week class exercise on abstaining from addictive substances and behaviors. Thankfully, I survived and am now back to continue playing hard, having fun, and making new friends as I go.
In real life, I'm a Brit who moved to Michigan about 4 years ago, having spent 9 years in a long distance relationship. My wife and I are blissfully happy, though I still need to figure out a way to stay in the country. I'm currently studying for my Masters in Counseling degree, and hope to work with PTSD and trauma survivors once I graduate.
Game History
I was brought here by Binarus and signed up on April 11th. Had I known about the monthly rankings, I might have waited for three weeks and joined on May 1st. He helped me zoom up to level 5 in about 48 hours, and I joined Dark Siege Academy on April 12th. It's a wonderful place to learn as heaps about playing in a very short period of time, get access to great resources and meet some amazing people.
On May 17th, I reached level 30, and joined Dark Siege. I may be biased, but I think it is probably the best guild out there, in terms of the friendliness of people in the guild, the help that's available, the wide range of resources and expertise that guild members are willing to share, and the sheer fun and silliness that can take place in guild chat. I wouldn't ever be anywhere else.
My in-game goals? To have fun, do as many quests as I can, hunt as much of my own gear as possible, and share what I've learned and the resources I have with newer players. I also love role play as can be gathered by the section on Ervin below. Oh yeah, and there's that leveling thing too.
My gorgeous avatar is also thanks to Binarus. I owe him big-time.
Ervin
This is what I get from spending five levels in the Depths of Despair. Among the many Ice Wolves, Yetis and Elf Witches, I came across a small little penguin who'd somehow managed to find is way there. I couldn't just leave him (Ervin:And she needed someone to carry that backpack) so he came along with me. Unfortunately, it seems that all the time he spent in the Depths of Despair has given him a somewhat depressed and miserable outlook on life (Ervin:I don't know what you're talking about. Just because I see things as they really are...). See what I mean? Anyway, if you run into me in game or chat, you're likely to hear from Ervin too.
Getting started in FS
After a flurry of recruitment threads on the Knighthood board on Facebook, I found I had more new recruits than I could easily mentor. And so I came up with this guide for brand new players, which covers as many of the basics as I could think of. Please feel free to use it and share the URL around.
Player vs. Player
I do not do PvP, but may occasionally take a bounty to get the rating I need for a quest. I will happily return gold + repair. This excludes guild-related de-levelings or guild conflicts.
All attacks on me - win or lose - will be bountied. Multiple attacks will incur the combined wrath of Dark Siege, which you really, really don't want to experience.
