Who are you? Why did you come here?
HI!, Salut!
Mackenzie here, you guys have probably seen me watching Twitch.tv streams (if that's how you found out about the servers). I'm a huge outbreak fan (basically we all are), and I heard about the game ever since a friend told me about it, and it wasn't until I reached middle school that I came to know about the game (I've been addicted ever since).
After doing some quick youtube searches about outbreak, I came across several ones that showcased some plans for online servers. I actually forgot whether it was a google search or youtube one that lead me directly to this site.
Twitch?
It's a site where most gamers, casual, MLG, and whatnot stream, I really had fun watching and chilling with people on chat. I even met a lot of outbreak players that I saw from youtube there (by "met" I meant, talked to in the stream chat). Krw and dchaps to name a few.
2013? That Early? Did you get to beta test?
No, of course not! (but I learned to accept why...)
So basically I've been hyped to play the private servers ever since 2013 (It's been a long time). I wanted to try the servers since day 1 release of file 2 and even wanted to volunteer as a beta tester [but could not because of lack of commitment]; I was thankful not to (to be honest) as it turns out I couldn't make a stable connection with the server (it usually tells me that the username/password is wrong bla bla). I met fellow beta tester (as we are all called in the forum) Gandi who was very knowledgeable about much of the things concerning network configuration, so I asked him about my problem, and it wasn't until this month that I checked my inbox which revealed something really special (I couldn't contain myself even if I wasn't able to log-in to the lobby yet).
Losing HOPE? Almost, but not quite...:
Fellow beta tester Gandi was kind enough to tell me about the recent discoveries on how people who have a modem-router configuration cannot access the servers, and it was also that same time that I read his message that my family was able to have our modem-router changed to a newer one. So I'm really thankful to have been told of the awesome news by Gandi for his continual support in helping people access the lobbies and play online.
I'm really thankful for fog and the online project, if you guys ever come across a MARY type character, chances are it's me (well not always, but the HN will be a giveaway).
tl;dr version:
Huge survival horror, outbreak fan Mackenzie here, I love outbreak, online games, and helping people out in them. I would definitely join some scenarios with both new and old players. Peace Out!
Some more info about me:
Favorite outbreak Character: Yoko and Mary. (Shows how regular teenagers can make it out alive during a zombie apocalypse).
Favorite Scenario: BFP, The Hive and DT. (I grew up watching my brother die playing RE2 when I was a kid, so yeah, I've seen worse things back then; I saw RE3 from my friend's house, so naturally I loved it too. I'm an old school survival horror fan, and Outbreak is the perfect chance to give myself a daily dose of that which is really lacking in this modern time.)
Least Favorite Scenario: Showdown 3 and EOTR. (go figure xD)
