Khan of Clan Diamond Shark / Merc Corp Diamond Shiver here. I have been a fan of Mechwarrior since it's earliest incarnations and have been so happy to have this version that we're all testing out. After being unemployed and stranded in Houston, I made my way back to NYC where I got enough money together to build a system just for MWO.
I've been playing since and have been part of an amazing community. At the beginning of the year (Jan 3050) I learned that I have cancer. A rare form called Medulary Thyroid Carcinoma. Thanks to MWO, my clan, and the american/european comstar server communities I have kept my strength and sanity by playing mechwarrior online... so much so I have managed to play through my founders bonus and have purchased every cbill purchasable mech in the game with most of them being taken to master status.
Thank you for being there for me and I'm hoping that the community will help me once again. I have been awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study internet addiction in Beijing, China but because of my cancer I've been left financially destitute. I'm trying to raise money so that I can be a cultural ambassador (representing MWO and the United States) while taking care of my 92 year old great-grandmother. I hope that the community will help me out by donating at and sharing http://www.gofundme.com/CancerToFulbright
Thank you...
