Its a nice start. I will let the others tell you its a bit sparse.

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)

oh and also Boxers or Briefs?

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?

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 ). Let the questions fly.

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

Nice responses, thank you for filling it in

Man, i have heard the Appalachian mtns are beautiful too, wouldnt mind riding up there.

Much better with the follow up. Thats cool, but i would take a football in place of that soccerball. I vote yes

Good reply, seems like he has a RL, deserves a break after 7 years of schooling.

Nice job with the follow-up. You really filled in some gaps and I think we can all understand trying to type an app at work. I did and it was lost, then typed another one and it finally went through. So with the follow-up I give the ol .

So I'm guessing that FFXI was an MMO? I didn't even know that and I thought I knew quite a bit about MMO's. Ah yes now I remember what I really wanted to ask. How did you, and a lot of others in our guild, find girlfriends/wives who like to play MMO's? I can't find them anywhere. They always try to get me to stop playin and I have to kick them out. Some advice on this would be much appreciated and I might even give you another big thumb emote.

Haha Wrothgar, I always thought I was lucky to have a woman that I could play games with. We sort of pulled her kicking and screaming. She seemed interested when I started WoW and when she got to create a character she spent probably an hour just designing how her character looked.

She has always been into the Sims games and actually for a girl, she is very into video games. I think she just got tired of the WoW thing. Sometimes I think she would play Conan if she had a computer to run the damn thing. But for now, I bought her a Wii and she is currently playing Zelda, so I can't complain much. However, I would love to have her in every game I play, but that's just my selfishness coming out.

I actually had an ex who played FFXI (and yes it was a MMO) lol. We were going through some tough shit at the time and she ended up dating some dude from the game. So it isn't always a good thing to have a chick playing these type of games.

Anyways, I'm at work today, 9-9 all day!!!!!!!!!! So keep me busy please.

and actually for a girl, she is very into video games

PFFT!

Get her a damn computer already. WOMAN POWER!

Good followup. He gets my vote.

I rember how hard it was for me to finish the app at work, and then to keep following up on it.

Nice follow up
