Q) Have you read our Code of Conduct and Forum Rules?
A)yes. It took me a couple of days, but i think ive read everything on your website, which is very nice btw. ive been jamming out to the hammerfist chant all week!
Q) Are you at least 18+ years of age? [yes, no, actual age is optional]
A)yes, i'll be 35 years young in september...please send gifts. (no ties or sensual massage oils, something meaningful. maybe a homemade card or a clay pot you made in school 10 years ago.)
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A)yes, salope and philigogus...both very entertaining. unfortunatly, i find myself trying to be as funny and i dont know if its possible or very flattering.
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A)No relatives or friends, but i do come as a package deal with my real life friend (who is also filling out an application as we speak). we were recruited by rhodar from the aoc forums. (i hope rhodar has some pull around here)
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A)Adrastus a-dras-toos, not a-dras-tus. the first makes me sound more dignified, dont ya think? the second makes me sound like some aquilonian pimp with a chariot with 22's and a twirling blade coming out of it. wait, charlton heston was a pimp. (sorry, that one kind of ran on me...)
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A)Male, and thats all i have to say about that.
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A)I live in Columbus Ohio, and yes i am an Ohio State fanatic, and yes i realize we have been owned by the sec the last two years (i was there to see it), and yes the buckeye leaf has a remarkable resemblence to that of the cannibus plant.
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A)in the aoc forums
Q) Are you currently in any other Age of Conan guilds?
A)no
Q) Have you applied to any other Age of Conan guilds?
A)no, this is the first. but im not gonna lie, ive done lots of research on this guild and that guild. i didnt just see hammerfistclan.com and get all nervous and sweaty, it wasnt love at first sight. what can i say, im a man, i had to check out other opportunities. all joking aside, i did do my research and my friend and i thought that this was the guild that best represented us, so you get first crack.
Q) We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good? You're a standup comedian you say?
A)Umm...Have you read my application?
Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A)My first MMO was SWG, which i loved until they ruined it. i mean really, one guy armed with a polearm defeating whole nests of rancors! COME ON! <--i meant to shout there. from there i moved on to EQII and played that for over 3 years. in EQII i did end game guild raiding and pvp as a healer (warden). i also had a level 70 troubador and guardian. i have a love for first person shooters, and i used to play clan matches in rainbow 6 and CoD4. So im down with the whole teamwork thang.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other AoC guilds? [let us know!]
A)The Hammerfist Chant
Q) What aspects of Age of Conan excite you the most or worry you? Why?
A)im going to elaborate on my answer to the last question real quick. i just thought that the one reason answer whould make you laugh. so, as i said, i did much research into guilds for aoc, and this is an important step in MMO's, choosing a guild. i take it very seriously. we picked hammerfist because of the mature community, the large number of members, the server type, the voice communitcation type, the game play style, the website, and for the love you seem to get in the aoc forums. so as you can see, many factors went into our selection.
so back to the question at hand: boobies excite me and lack of people on a pve server makes me worry.
ive been looking forward to this game for years, as a fan of the robert howard books and yes (/covers head) of the movies. i love the lore and atmosphere which i think has been captured by funcom. i played the open beta and despite some of the bugs and other problems(it was a beta after all), i loved it. i cant wait for seige battles and i look forward to end game raids and pvp and gear. the fact that most guilds seem to be going to pvp or rppvp servers worries me a bit. i just hope that there is enough people for a healthy community on the pve servers. i dont like the FFA rules on the pvp servers or we would be going there...the whole idea of being a 20 and killed by an 80 doesnt appeal to me, so we decided on a pve server.
Q) What is your forum name on the official AoC forums?
A)patrickgerold
Q) Is there any other information about yourself you would like to share with us?
A)yes there is... I run a bar here in Columbus Ohio, and as you can imagine i keep strange hours. i close 3 nights a week and work a couple of days during the week. that leaves me open to raid say 3 nights a week and ill being playing during the day alot. just giving you all a heads up. also, as i said, i come as a package deal and im not sure what name he is going to use on his application, but ill make sure he mentions the name adrastus somewhere on his application.
As far as my likes and dislikes...well, you can check me out in the classifieds under:
Male MMO player seeking...well, any female!
Just kidding, i think you all can get a good idea of who i am by reading this application, lets leave some things for discovery in community and in game. thank you for taking the time to read my app and for your consideration.

Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A)i do... question one: i plan on playing this weekend so i was wondering if you will have a server picked out sometime saturday morning...like 1201 am or one minute past whenever they start? haa! i dont know...maybe they just transfer your toon on tuesday to whatever server you want...not sure on all of this. maybe you have answers for me.
question two: i know you all plan on seige battles and such, but i havent seen it posted anywhere that you plan on doing end game raiding or raid nights. i would assume with as many people as you have some would want to raid, but i havent seen it posted anywhere. do you plan on having any scheduled raid nights at all?
