What do I do for Merric
As one of the founders of Merric Gaming Community, I handle the day to day running of Merric, handle support tickets and manage subscription enquiries/queries as well as look after the community and it’s members and also oversee our admin team. I love what I do with/for Merric.
Day to Day
I was lucky to have retired early so now all my days are like Sundays. My day usually starts around 4.00-4:30am when I check to make sure all our servers have completed their daily auto restarts. I briefly run through the logs for the period while I was away sleeping (Yes I really do sleep, well hibernate). Then my day of answering tickets, helping members in game and just generally keeping an eye on everything.
I take a break around 1pm for a couple of hours and then back to it until around 10.00 – 11.00pm when I log off.
Games
I played World of Warcraft for 12.5 years (still have my accounts ready and paid for). I was then introduced to ARK by one of my sons just after it came out and have played ever since. I also play modded Minecraft, EVE Online (not anymore), I love 7 Days to Die and lots of other space sims and survival games.
Unfortunately Merric takes just about every waking hour of my time and so I am not able to properly play any games now, but that is ok as I get to do what I love – help others!
Favourite server
Well it used to be ARK: The Island, but, after having had a little play on the new Genesis 2 map, I have not gone back to The Island map yet. 🙂
