A)Front to back and completely comprehend them both.
Q) Are you at least 18+ years of age? [yes, no, actual age is optional]
A)Yes, my car insurance premium will drop this year when I turn 25.
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A)Just before I started my own!
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A)I have no relatives or friends in the guild currently, but the main reason I am applying is to make friends within the game so that I can enjoy it even more. The "about us" section describes exactly the kind of community I would like to belong to in AoC, or any other game for that matter.
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A)Hoping to use Shae - anyone who has read the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin will recognize it. I haven't thought too much about alternate names yet, but I'll cross that bridge if and when I come to it.
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A)I'm male but plan on playing a female Priest of Mitra. And yes, I can take the abuse for playing a girl character! (I'm expecting to hear it from Dao from what I've read on the forums haha)
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A)Trenton, NJ but I will be relocating to NYC within the next two months.
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A)I saw your post on the official forums and then hopped over to your page. I've been lurking your post on the forums and have really come to enjoy the humor and friendly atmosphere that the members present, so I thought I would apply.
Q) Are you currently in any other Age of Conan guilds?
A)Nope, yours is the only guild I have applied to.
Q) Have you applied to any other Age of Conan guilds?
A)See previous answer....got ahead of myself!
Q) We like to have fun, how's your sense of humor? Not so good? Good? You're a standup comedian you say?
A)I'm not a comedian but I really enjoy stand up. I'm definitely not offended easily and find jokes that make you think hysterical, such as: So a baby seal walks into a club... Sick, I know, but if I'm a horrible human being for finding that funny so be it! Anywho, I enjoy having fun and like to be around people that know how to have fun.
Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A)I have played Lineage II and WoW. I was a main tank in WoW for over a year before BC came out and tanked many of the raids. With AoC, I plan on going for the healing role. I enjoy learning to play with others and I am excited to experience the group content, both large and small, in AoC.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other AoC guilds? [let us know!]
A)The sense of community is the biggest draw for me. I would like to be part of a guild where I'm more than just a character that fills a role for tonight's dungeon. I also like the lack of pressure and the fact that the guild knows everyone has a life outside of the game. I also see this as a chance to meet some really great people and possibly make friendships that extend past the life of AoC. And I guess the final reason is that I think I will get the most out of this game personally if I were a part of this guild.
Q) What aspects of Age of Conan excite you the most or worry you? Why?
A)I'm very interested in the combat system because it seems like it will make leveling so much more fun. I'm also very interested in the Siege PvP as well...it reminds me of Lineage II castle sieges but it seems much more refined. The only thing that worries me about the game is server stability surrounding launch because of the popularity of the game...hope I can log in as soon as I have it installed and patched!
Q) What is your forum name on the official AoC forums?
A)It is Sirhcsema, but I have only been browsing.
Q) Is there any other information about yourself you would like to share with us?
A)I'm currently pursuing a career with the NYPD. If all goes well, I will be entering the academy in July. Your guild seems like a good place for me seeing as my playtime will be limited during that time, but I feel that you all understand real life commitments and would still welcome me into the guild (I hope!). I play games like these to have fun and I'm really looking for a good group of people to experience as much of the game as I possibly can. I don't care about having the best gear or being the first to down a big raid boss...I would just like to be able to sign into the game when I have a few hours and really enjoy myself.
PS - You mention your Irish beer but is anyone in guild as big a fan of Jameson as I am?
Please remember to register here on these forums.
A)I shall do that as soon as I post!
Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A)Besides the question about Jameson...I'd like to know what server you plan to play on. My pre-order key didn't get me into early access (stupid gamespot!) but I'd like to create my character on your server to group with you guys, even if I'm not accepted into the guild. Hope to see you in game and have fun everybody!
