Let's see if I start rambling here.
My interest in scifi predates far back before December 1st 2012 when I first downloaded DUST, two years before in a small gaming community in the MMO racing game Need For Speed World. Back then I was just a young kid with a lot of free time in my hands, am eye for writing and MMOs to try. Back in this community I was introduced to Star Trek, which led me to downloading Star Trek Online right after it became F2P.
I stuck with it for a three years, and through it I joined another community within STO, and a few of the friends I had acquired there were talking a lot about SWTOR which was going through its closed beta tests in the summer of 2011. I joined that, and by that time I was just hooked into scifi MMOs and hungering for more. Through my contacts in SWTOR and STO I was prompted to try out EVE Online. I only downloaded the trial and stopped it at that due to lack of money, and not really understanding anything. From EVE however, I heard of DUST 514.
In the autumn of 2012, I bought a PS3 of my own and began looking for games to download for it, and DUST 514 popped up. I had seen some trailers and teasers before, but this time I really started looking into it. So eventually at November 30th I purchased the Mercenary Pack and downloaded DUST the next day.
Back then I was really horrible until a friendly person from my NPC corp suggested I used my HK4M shotguns and Dragonfly BPO scout. I joined my newly discovered friend's corporation CrimeWave Syndicate, which mostly consisted of MAG veterans. There I was given some pointers on what to run with my scout suit, and my fits began to take shape.
Come spring 2013 and where both CW and DUST experienced a lot of changes, which ultimately made me part ways and find another corp. Around this time I started being a fairly good scout and started gaining some recognition on the forums. Fastforward to spring 2014, I'm now part of a roleplaying corporation as a veteran and elite-ish scout with over a year of experience under my belt.
But to stop the rambling and summarize:
1. I got DUST because I liked scifi MMOs and shooters, where DUST 514 joined both together
2. I kept playing for the friends I got and the lore and the roleplaying opportunities it presented
3. I was initially given a few pointers on what to use with my, but beyond that I've figured things out myself or used the forums for guides.
Rambling finished.
