Chronykle and 30,000+ Hours of MMO Gaming

I am Chronykle The Gamer. I have been playing MMO's for years and have a rough estimate of 30,000+ hours of gaming in my resume. I actually did not pay attention until this year but I wanted to start paying attention to it because I want it to be entered into the Guinness Book Of World Records as the gamer with most hours played in a lifetime. That is where I am at so far and still counting. I do anywhere from 10-24 hours a day and have done so since 2000. So far it is just an approximate but I can see myself hitting 100,000 hours over a lifetime. Plus I have thought about writing a book about my gaming and what it takes to be a successful long term gamer. Life has handed me alot lemons but it has also handed me alot of sweets so I have been reluctant to play so long where others have failed or gotten bored. But the greatest thing I have gotten out of all my gaming is the communities. I have never met greater people than gamers. To connect on an intimate gaming level is like having a best friend 2,000 miles away but yet sitting right next to you. It just so seems that I have found LOTRO to be a great game right now and I hope I get many more hours of fun with it. I have went by many names in my storied gaming career but the one that has stuck the most is Chronykle. I have had others like Nefio, Bighuurt, and Harleyred. But I usually go by Chronykle. I have played in games such as WoW, EQ1 and 2, SWG, City Of Heroes, STO and many many more. In fact I try to buy every MMO that comes out and test drive it. Then I usually have 1 main game and then a backup game for maintenance days for my main game. As of now LOTRO has been my main game for about 4-5 months and I am hoping many many more.
