Good start, but would like to know more about you. Hobbies, likes dislikes, cake or pie. Fill it with some meat, (bad choice of wording maybe...lol)

It's WAY too sparse. You may be a man of few words, but even our resident stoic Russian ex-military tank commander buddy FredMark was able to step up and show us his good side, and he's since become one of our best clansmates. You need to thicken this app considerably.

So if you were stranded on a desert island and could only have three things with you, what would they be.

Sorry, only question I could think of but yea more info. You seem like a nice guy but like others said, flesh out the app.

We like to know each other around here, we are more than just grinders, that is why we ask more from the applicants. The following is from the Code of Conduct:

Be Active

  1. Joining a Guild does not mean that you only come in for raids and go for loot that you want or need.
  2. Being part of a Guild is being part of a greater community. Recognize that you are an integral part of the community, and that your contributions and participation are appreciated by all.
  3. Build friendships, help one another, and be supportive of one another's endeavors.
  4. Members are also required to check the Guild website and forums on a regular basis for updates and announcements. The Forums is also a good channel for building relationships and getting to know one another better, so use it to good effect.

Little sparse as others have said.

What has been the best and worse guild experience in your other MMO's?

Some more info

Post by Orastes on Tue Jun 10, 2008 1:51 pm

Sorry for the slow response and for cutting the app short. I tried to fill it out while at work. Bad idea.

So, let's see. I started into the world of MMOs in college. I started playing FFXI in 2002 and didn't really stop until just recently. I was back and forth between that and WoW. I had a solid guild in FFXI made up of all beastmasters (a very solo friendly class). Due to my time resctrictions this was a superb class fit for me and I rolled with it. We ended up becoming a very close group of friends. Jumping outside the cookie cutter group roles and doing everything all beastmaster. I'm sorry if you have no idea what I'm talking about, but it was a blast for me.

My very good friend, who I still am in contact with today (we met in that guild), and I started WoW toons. He leveled alot faster than me and hit level cap in WoW super fast and I got discouraged and later became a alt junkie. Later, I did finally cap my character that I started with him and we began to raid a bit. I hated the raiding scene he/I were in, so I went back to FFXI. I did meet some very good people in WoW, but it just wasn't for me.

And so to AoC, I go. Heard about it somewhere, don't remember exactly, doesn't matter, except that it found me. I love it. I tried a PvP server, didn't like it. I tried a RP-PvP server, didn't like it. I started searching through the server forums on the AoC official forums and stumbled across your website. I read some of the info regarding what your guild is about and I thought it was a perfect match.

I hope this answered some of your questions regarding my gaming history. I will try and follow-up with any questions as soon as I can.

As far as me, personally. I like women, long walks in the park, and sipping protein shakes by the bay. Haha, seriously, I hate school, I had 7 years of it AFTER high school and am very happy I'm finally done. Graduated in June of 2007. As I stated before, I recently started mountain biking (we live right along the Appalachian Mountains, so their are ALOT of places to ride near me). This is the first time I have been active in a real sport since pre high school (played soccer). Other than that and hanging with the girl friend, my free time is pretty much taken up. Oh, of course, I love to play video games! That reminds me, my girl friend played WoW with me and my good friend back when we played. That was a new one for me.

Well, I think this is getting long and I am starting to type run on sentences and I hate using bad grammar (Mom's a English teacher Rolling Eyes ). Let the questions fly.

Oh, three items on a island
1) Knife, of course
2) Shoes
3) Soccer ball, lol, bad joke
