I'd like to present to you one of the Iron Edge oldies, the bear tank, a great poet and our very own uncle, Legolew.
Marko: Hi uncle Lego!
Lego: Hello Marko and everyone else ofc.
M: As I know you are quite a poet, could we start this interview with one of your many songs?
L: Here it goes.
Iron Edge...
More than a guild.
More than a game.
More of a place for us to grow insane.
A community built
Over these 3 years
Laughter and tales and lots of tears.
From Casuals to Hardcore.
We all unite
In guild chat we try not to fight.
With calmness from Tye.
And progress from Dell.
Our raids always build storys to tell.
Off Nach getting demotes.
And stats from Daekesh.
With youngsters like Talf.
Our guildlife is blessed.
To end it will not.
For one thing for sure.
Iron Edge... will Never close the door.
Read on...
M: That was wonderful uncle Lego! The readers might wonder why we call you 'uncle', would you like to tell them?
L: Hmm, Uncle Lego, I’m not exactly sure how I ended up like that, guessing I was one of if not the oldest member in ie for a long time and kinda acted a shoulder to cry on for a few ppl so maybe this is how and why I started ending my topics with Uncle Lego, although since TBC that changed and I ended up and still am known and called in /raid and /g as Oldman :P
M: Blah I'm being so rude, I haven't even introduced you properly. You will have to do it yourself now!
L: My RL name is Jason I’m 18x2 and live in Manchester UK (Not a Man.Utd. fan kk), I work in a secure print room and in my spare time other than WoW I love to play golf.
M: I heard quite an awesume story about your first love. Something about you and a married woman, rings a bell?
L: Hehe if ppl haven’t tried yet then a Married woman at a young age is the way to go (but not my wife or I moonfire spam you), I was 16 worked in a sales counter for a local company and I spoke to this woman customer every day, after a month we went out for a drink (Cola ofc I’m only 16), she knew my age and we got on really well, one thing led to another and we started seeing each other, now she was married to a guy named Stuart I think and had a daughter and all that, think she was going through a rough patch and was looking for comfort, well I was glad too help after all I’m 16 I got a hot 26 year old married woman on tow, I don’t have to show any commitment and she taught me a thing or two as well if you know what I mean, anyway to cut a long story short eight months later the hubby found and paid me a visit with some friends and put me in hospital for over a week ( ouch ), I look and back now and even though I was really done over bad I ask myself if it was really worth it ......... HELL YES!!!
M: I bet you used your poet skills to make your wife fall for you. Now that I revealed you are married, can you tell us if you have any kids?
L: Actually my wife pulled me on a typical Friday night, we met in November, lived together in December at my parents, bought our 1st house in January and married in July, its true when you meet the right one you just know it, we’ve been together 13 years and married for 12 off them, we have 2 kids, my little angel Jade (9) and Lewis (11).
M: Do you let your kids play any computer games?
L: My daughter doesn’t care for games, but my son Lewis loves them, he has got the lot Xbox360, play station 2, WII and ofc PC for WoW in which he plays Talfor a troll rogue, he’s also a lover of all Grand theft games, I kinda let him play these games but tend to keep an eye on him especially in WoW, after all he’s still only 11, he spent the last 3 years with IE ppl and especially looks up to Tyler, Delling and loves spending time with Nach.
M: Any other relatives that you 'dragged' into World of Warcraft?
L: My Brother plays WoW, but very casual he has a priest names Chung and a mage named Mazus, he currently plays a rogue on alliance side of Dunemaul, he never been one for raiding but is a avid lover of PvP, but just sucks at it :), other than that I have a lot of real life friends playing WoW and ppl who moved over from SWG with me.
M: Care to tell us your gaming history please?
L: I used to play a lot of console games before I discovered online gaming, my 1st online game was Star Wars Galaxies this was introduced to me by a friend who played a bounty hunter and hated Jedi, I started as a Bounty hunter and levelled fast, we would spend our evening hunting Jedi down, now like in WoW you gained XP to progress, but if you ever unlocked Jedi every time you died you lost xp and sometimes it could be in the area of 250k which was about 2-3 days grinding, now Sony changed the way you could hunt Jedi and made it so only 1 BH could engage them instead of hunting them in groups, this is where I changed and went about unlocking my Jedi and levelling upto Dark Jedi Knight rank which took about a year, a big change happened to the game in a combat upgrade patch and really changed everything, lots of ppl quit including my RL friends and moved to WoW, I tried to stick it out but after a month or so I too couldn’t take anymore and moved over to WoW.
M: Did you really quit IE one time when you were drunk?
L: Ha-ha here’s a dodgy question, now Delling always teases me about how many times I quit IE but its not as bad as he thinks.
I joined IE just before they started MC recruited my Haarangad, I came from a guild of around 7 ppl and really struggled to adjust in a big guild and left a few weeks later, although within a week I was back after a chat from Kaos/Haar. So that’s #1.
Yes I quit when I was drunk once actually think I even did goodbye posts on dunemaul.org /rofl and another time I had a heated argument with another officer and left, tbh cant even remember what it was about.
I am a sucker for gquit, I got a heated temper sometimes and do / say things I don’t mean but I always come grovelling back and in the 3 years I been playing wow in ie must have been well over 2 ½ yrs in ie.
M: We come to the question where I ask you about alts, but now your alt is 'Legolew’. So what's your main?
L: I knew this would come up, I gota try word this right, my love for Legolew will never die and no matter what I do in game he will always kinda be my main, just not my raiding main if that makes sense, I play a shaman named Ogel I needed to stop Hardcore raiding as in 4-5 per week and I guess when sunwell comes out it will be very intense, I resigned from officer position on this, I played Ogel and joined now this suites me as in this guild as a raider you only have to raid 2 days week due to a rotation system they have, this enables me to spend more time with my family and ofc my golf clubs, atm I am raiding with them for my 2 raids per week leaving me 5 days to do what I please when I please, I did try to explain this to some officers but it was kinda like a conflict discussion and I simply don’t do conflicts, seems like it fell on deaf ears.
M: Were you drunk when you decided not to raid with IE anymore and reroll aliance on the same server? :)
L: You would think so wouldn’t you, but when I was levelling I met some ppl who I enjoying playing the game with and are at my age (Zelenraith, Arya) and I cant miss out Tuckface he is younger, but shares my interests in the game and is so funny. This and the fact of not doing any serious hardcore raiding any more and fighting for them server firsts is what made me make my decision.
M: Is there any chance you'll change you main back to your druid any time soon?
L: Awwww do you miss me? Are you still pulling agro and hoping I’ll save you? I never say Never, maybe I’ll come back to IE one day.
M: Legolew... hmm, sounds familiar. You are a LOTR fun?
L: Legolew
Lego = Legolas, LOTR fan at the time
Lew = Talfors name.
M: Is it true that you killed your neighbour's cat?
L: Don’t make me out to be a Pet killer Man!!
No it’s not true it was a joke let me retell…
Scene in my Garden, Neighbour looks over fence…
Neighbour: "Hey Lego what you doing?"
Lego: "Ohh the goldfish has died."
Neighbour: "That holes abit big for a goldfish init"
Lego: "Not really as its inside your bloody cat"
Da Daaa…
Well I thought it was funny!!
M: One of the guildies suggested that I should ask you what was barf doing in your shoe?
L: Barf in my shoe hehehe, when I get drunk I get very very drunk, one time I was sooooooo drunk that I woke up in middle of night in a room I wasn’t familiar with, feeling extremely sick. I decided that instead of running around a strange place looking for a bathroom I would throw up in the nearest thing I could find, yep that’s right I filled up my shoes.
M: Thank you Legolew for your time.
L: And thx to you Marko.
/Hugs the Oldman aka Uncle Lego
