Yes & No.
Aangeliceus was created after my first character, which only made it to level 18 or so. (Mithra warrior) However, I felt that my original gaming name really didn't fit with the world of FFXI so I created a new character with the name Aangeliceus. (I really wanted to be able to teleport myself, so I chose WHM/Taru... lol)
I've tried to keep the MMORPG and FPS world separated. Which is why I've kept the two names really far apart. My original gaming name, I've used since the very first day I started to play online games. (Duke Nukem, circa 1995/96)
Just before FFXI came out I was playing Battlefield 1942 and owned one of the top 5 online gaming servers in the world for that game. It just got too expensive to maintain the bandwidth for a 64 player server that stayed full around the clock. (Excess of $400/month in bandwidth alone) That marked my exit from the FPS world and into the MMORPG realm.
Corvac, Pitlith, Garret & I all were in the same gaming group many moons ago on a little server called "Got Hunted???" owned by the might Rooster. Thus; we all know each other by our previous names. We all continued to play various games together, including FFXI. Sadly, FFXI marked the split of our original group because Pitlith, then me and eventually Corvac and Garret were assimilated into Ultima. (People from our original shell couldn't stand Ultima at the time from what I understand.) I remember nights where Pit and I would sit in our own little Vent channel after that event. Those other guys went on to WoW, had their glory days and then quit.
ANYWAY... It's a long windy road that has spanned almost 12 years now.
wait, there was a char before aang??
I will be Fiko again... it is always the case...
