Character Name
Falx or some variation of.
Race
Human (Maybe)
Profession(Class)
Ranger
What role do you wish to play in the guild? For example: PvP, PvE, Casual/Social
I generally do both PvP and PVE. I will most likely bring up crafting skills as I level and time allows, but I tend not to get super hot on crafting. Im a casual player in a way, but I do put time in, becuase I enjoy gaming!
Which previous MMO's or online games have you played and how long for?
So many..
Ultima Online, from launch and off and on (mostly on) for the last 14/15 years or so, on free servers and EA servers. Would guess at the tens of thousands of hours.
WOW - Have leveled a character to max level during vanilla, and during each expansion, but was more off and on in WOW than UO. Would say thousands of hours.
Thousands of hours in FPS, Much of that time spent in APB and APB reloaded, BF2 and BF3.
Then, so you dont have to read a whole book, I have many hundreds of hours in games like Champions online (played at launch), DCUO, Warhammer Online, D2 and D3, SWTOR and other games that I didnt get into or lost luster after the initial launch.
Were you a part of a guild? What was your experience?
I have been part of several gaming communitys over the years. For the most part, I have played with RL friends and a group of people that all played UO together (as both allies and enemies) in the hard-mode server Siege Perilous. I am also a current member of the APB clan Narcotic Brotherhood, and have been gaming with my buddys in my FPS clan for over 10 years.
As for experience I think it is important to be part of a guild/clan unit in any game, why play if you cant play with friends? Fortunately, I have played with several groups of great people as well as my RL friends for a long time, without the dysfunction that you commonly hear about or see when you jump into someone elses vent. Being part of a group, whether its BSing in vent, raiding, questing, leveling, whatever, increases your enjoyment, and I dont think games are even worth playing without that.
How did you hear about the Guild?
Found the podcast and other vids on Youtube.
What will you bring to the ALTTABME community? (Chatty? Skilled? Funny? Helping?)
I like to think im a do it all type, mainly, I am a casual player, who will always be in voice and in game. Im willing to help out, and I love both clearing main content and leveling alts. When I play a game I do go full out information wise, meaning, I am a forum whore, I read and participate in theorycraft, I slave over hot youtube videos etc. I learn about the game and know it inside and out and love sharing and teaching about the game.
Will Arcanix be the only guild you join?
Yes
Is there anything else you would like to throw in here at the end?
While I love to game, I do have a demanding professional life, as well as a baby on the way. I work ~60 hours per week, and my baby is due on sep 22. On Tuesdays and Sundays, if there are no car shows or anything I play most of those days, as well as several hours most evenings.
Im hoping the baby actually lets me get some more game time in, as I will have to be home, and not out at car gatherings or motorcycle rides etc. I am currently in the process of selling my race car, and once its gone, will be left with life and gaming as my only two hobbies~
As for reason applying to this guild, I found the youtube podcast, watched the WHOLE THING and was greatly impressed by one thing. FUN! I loved the fact that you guys time and time again where measuring your enjoyment in FUN rather than in gear/progression etc. That is EXACTLY how I have measured games and my gaming pleasure over the years, and have at times been made fun of by my real life friends becuase I may have more fun doing something that is not top tier content, or not progressing.. becuase it was FUN!!!
I did sleep on it before applying, so I hope you accept me, becuase I have accepted you!
