About two years ago I Alpha tested this game. I was one of the original 10 and the only tester not in California (I live in the Houston area).
Unfortunately, I could not test long due to some personal problems.
So here we are years later and apparantly my first day (two days ago) was the first day of the new big patch.
I must say that things have developed nicely! Building is much easier to understand, things are much more stable, and the community attitude is commendable (you guys and gals seem very nice and very helpful).
Anyhoo, I'm currently playing SWG and can't stand it anymore so it looks like this will be my new home now.
I look forward to meeting you all and building and creating exciting things (as soon as I get over the learning curve).

As a web/print designer in my "first life," I look forward to bringing some great things to the table.
Glad to be aboard,
Alex Gardner
P.S.
You folks have a TREMENDOUS developer team here. Their attention to detail and their enthusiasm to help really makes their care and love for this project SHINE! Be grateful, other games don't have 1% of the TLC that I've seen here so far.
