I have used "Tinkergnome" as a character name for many, many years. First, was back in the 70's during the Time of Pencil and Paper "Dungeon's and Dragon's" ... Then, on many other games that eventually got into the computer realm. (After of course the Atari 2600, the Amiga, TRS-80 and others.) I used it with several Single player RP G's. All the "DnD" , and "Baldur's Gate" , "Morrow ind" etc. . Eventually when it came to web based On-line MMORPG Games, I used the name in "Ultima Online" (For 72 Month's), before that, "Diablo 1" , and "Diablo 2" , "Warcraft" (ALL of them) , "Americas Army" , "Enemy Territory" , and a slew of other games that Pale in comparison to (I.M.H.O.) The Best Game... I have come to World Of Warcraft . I found it only fitting that I used the name and the skill sets I found useful for one with a name like Tinkergnome... I have a little knowledge about almost everything, BUT, Master Of None... hehehe...Warlock, Demonology Spec'ed, Engineer (Gnomish, Of course), Cook, Miner, First Aid... I am lvl 69 and waiting for a "Collector's Edition of Wrath of the Lich King" to become available... (If no luck, then I will, I suppose, settle for the regular upgrade)...
That is all I think I can say about him except if you see him, say Hi and If I can help, I will...
