let me start by apologizing. i thought i had an app filled out and submited last night, however i never saw it show up under the "adventurers" topic so i'm going to assume that i hit the wrong button at some point. if this is a second posting, i apologize. my intent was not to spam the forums.
Q) What MMO do you currently have the most interest in playing?
A) Age of Conan
Q) Have you read our Code of Conduct and Forum Rules?
A) Yes, I have.
Q) Are you at least 18 years of age? [yes, no, actual age is optional]
A) Unforunately I am. I've been recycling my 29th birthday for the last 6 years or so. Please don't remind me of that too often.
Q) Have you read at least one of our example applications? [this is highly recommended]
A) Yes, interesting reading.
Q) Do you have any relatives or friends currently in the guild, or were you recruited by someone? If so, who?
A) I don't know anyone in the guild at the moment. We will give Zapador credit for recruiting me as it was his post on the AoC Guild Hall forum that directed me to this site and he responded that same evening. Give him a bonus please.
Q) Name: [planned in game/forum name]
A) Hassell is my main character's name and is my forum name for these forums as well as the official AoC forums. It also happens to me my first name, i usually go by my middle name though: Eric.
Q) Gender: [female, male]
A) mail
Q) What region do you live in? [City and State is fine.]
A) Morro Bay, CA
Q) How did you hear about us: [friend, another member, forum, google, other mmo's, etc]
A) AoC Guild Hall forum post.
Q) Are you currently in any other AoC, LOTRO, or Warhammer guilds?
A) Yes, I am currently in Ravenous. However, Ravenous in it's current form is ending as all of the leadership and much of the membership is going into hibernation until the pvp is a bit more complete. I was already beginning to look around for a new guild as Ravenous is first and foremost a PvP guild. They all pretty much solo to level 80 and only grouped for the PvP mini-games. I prefer a guild that is more social where grouping with guildies is common and guild chat consists of more than the occasional "grats." Ravenous collapsing just moved up my time table to leave a bit faster.
Q) Have you applied to any other guilds?
A) No I havn't, I liked what I saw here and so unless I get turned down here I will not be applying elsewhere.
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 think my sense of humor is fairly well developed. I can laugh at myself anyway, which is needed as so many of the good jokes are at my expense.
Q) What other MMO's have you played if any: [Acquired a few skills from some other games eh? Tell us about them]
A) EQ, EQ2, AO (for 3-4 years), DAoC, WoW, GW, LoTR, EVE (still active), a little bit of UO and AC2. Hopefully the primary skills I've learned from playing so many other MMOs (many at release) is patience and that sense of humor we mentioned above.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other guilds? [let us know!]
A) You seem to have so many of the characteristics I am looking for in a guild: Maturity, a sense of Community, Flexibility, and Casual gameplay backed a belief that having fun as a group is more important than a set of rigid rules.
Q) Please tell a little about yourself, aside from gaming. Perhaps some hobbies, about your work, favorite story etc.
A) I have 5 years of college studying archaeology and 6 years in the army as a satellite controller. I've done everything from selling Persian rugs to Sys Admin at a top secret government test lab, from jackhammering at a tantalum refinery (tantalum is the magic blue smoke in capacitors that all of our electronics run on) to assistant facilities supervisor at a railroad musuem. My current hobbies are computer games, photography (http://hep73.deviantart.com) and I'm building a 17' ocean kayak. I love watching sports and playing soccer. I'm not any good though so i tend to play a bit dirty to make up for a complete lack of coordination or skill. If we ever have a guiild pick up game of soccer.. you've been warned. I've lived in 9 different states and Germany. I love to travel and I actually have job apps in for Iraq, Kuwait, and Curacao at the moment.
Please remember to register here on these forums.
A) done.
Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A) not at this time. I look forward to hearing from you and answering any additional questions you may have of me.
I have three toons that I play often:
Hassell - 76 Assassin
Mosahn - 54 HoX
Kleine - 35 Guardian
and one that I play when i just want to blast things:
Kitab - 33 Demo
I live on the west coast but my work schedule is one week on, one week off. So on my week off I may be playing at any time of the day or night. On my weeks on my play time is severly limited and is usually either early morning before going to work or late at night after getting home.
thank you for your consideration,
