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 have a good sense of humor. My WoW guild is an adult guild with relatively no bounds to the topics discussed on Vent so I don’t get offended.
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 experience with MMO’s was Everquest Online for the PS2. I only played for a few months but it was enough to spark my interest. I built my first gaming PC and started playing City of Heroes which was fun but I was pulled in the direction of First Person Shooters at that time. I picked up Guild Wars when it was released and really liked it but found myself becoming bored with the gameplay. In June of 2006, I picked up a copy of WoW and created a Warrior as my first toon. This is when my MMO addiction began. I read every thing I could about WoW and worked my way to level 60. I joined my guild as an Arms warrior but was soon converted into a tank. I have been 2nd raid tank up until a couple months ago because classes were keeping me from making raid schedule. I am currently on casual status but will most likely let my account freeze at the release of AoC.
Q) What makes you want to join us over some of the other AoC guilds? [let us know!]
A) There are a few reasons why I think The Hammerfist Clan would be a good fit. The first reason being that you are a “mature” guild. It is much easier to deal with members with whom you can relate. Also, the fact that you are not a hardcore raiding guild is good for me because I have a full time job, classes, and a wife that have to fit into the equation. That is difficult to do when you are expected to stick to a strict raiding schedule.
I feel it is very important to be part of a guild in an MMO in order to truly get the full experience the game. While searching the AoC forums I found The Hammerfist Clan post. It was very well done and made your guild sound like the perfect setting for me to experience AoC.
Q) What aspects of Age of Conan excite you the most or worry you? Why?
A) I am a graphics junkie so I love AoC for the fact that it will be one of the best looking games on the market. The expansive environments are also amazing and I’m sure will provide hours of exploration. I’m also looking forward to the crafting system. The way that guilds will have to work as a team and pool resources looks like it will add a cool component to the game.
Q) What is your forum name on the official AoC forums?
A) My forum name is Killer_Shark.
Q) Is there any other information about yourself you would like to share with us?
A) I’m married for almost 2 years. Not children yet. I am currently working on my Associates degree in Multimedia and should be done in about a year. I have family in Arizona and plan to move there to continue on with my Bachelors. I would eventually like to get into game design or graphic design.
Q) Do you have any questions for us?
A) I will be in the 3 day head start program. If I am accepted, how soon will I know what server I should be creating my character on? I’m just curious because I plan on starting as soon as the servers go live.
