Grim Application For Eldaeron


How did you hear about The Grim?
- I first heard about The Grim when I began playing World of Warcraft shortly before the release of Wrath of the Lich. After a long hiatus my interest was piqued after a chance RP encounter with Lilliana and Leyujin.

What experience do you have with internet forums? Do you check them frequently or infrequently?
- I frequent forums, typically digesting more information than I actually post.

What sort of role-playing experience do you have? Would you consider yourself a beginner or Gary Gygax?
- I have participated in a few pen and paper games andI played quite a few MMORPG’s. I am often disappointed when after I choose a role-playing server, I find it populated mostly by non role-players. Non-lore friendly names make me cringe. Immersion enhances my gaming experience. Each character I create has his/her own persona, back story, and motivations.

The Grim are considered a Lawful Evil guild. Do you have any experience playing a character of this alignment or a character archetype that believes in structure with evil intent?
- I admit that I have never played Lawful Evil. I tend to play Neutral Evil when on the dark side of the spectrum. Eldaeron, due to his misfortunate experiences of formerly being both a quel'dorei and a minion of the Lich King, is Lawful Neutral.

Have you been part of any other guilds in World of Warcraft? If so, who were they and what server do or did they reside on? Let us know of your experience with them and what made you decide to either leave or continue to stay.
- My first World of Warcraft character, Uthaerion (Neutral Evil/Blood Elf/Warlock/Twisting Nether), was recruited by the Outriders. In my opinion, the failing of that guild was lack of direction. There was not an emphasis on either PvE or PvP. Even the RP element seemed to be fragmented into cliques. My current guild is my own vanity guild. I had grandiose plans for developing it into something much more before my hiatus.

Are you applying on an alt (non-main) character? If so, what are you looking for here that you are not getting from your main character? If you are feeling honest or adventurous, please let us know who your main is.
- While I do not have a definitive main, Eldaeron is the character chose to update first after my hiatus. I rotate between three: Eldaeron, Uthaerion, and third who shall remain anonymous for now.


What are your expectations for your character after joining The Grim? What aspect of the game, if any, do you wish to focus on?
- PvP and PvE are equally important for me. I relish in facing down the Alliance in battlefields but I am motivated by the lore and story that drives the franchise.

What is your PvE (player-versus-environment) experience in World of Warcraft? What classes and roles do you enjoy the most in a raid environment? Do you have any PvE experience from other MMO games?
- I tend to play damage only because many players seemingly have no patience for a tank that has not mastered every single fight mechanic prior to their first encounter with a boss. Rarely do I ever sign up to beta-test a MMORPG. When I am reading a novel, I do not skip ahead a few pages to spoil the outcome. I like figuring things out on my own. To me, that is a major part of the gaming experience, the journey. I do not like to consult on-line guides/resources unless I am really stumped. So, while I usually play DPS I would not mind tanking given the right conditions.

What is your PvP (player-versus-player) experience in World of Warcraft? What classes and roles do you enjoy the most in a PvP environment? Do you have any PvP experience in other MMO games?
- I typically play tank, damage, or support (crowd control).

Did you read and understand our guidelines on character names, listed at the beginning of this application? (Please note, if your name does not fall within our guidelines and you do not want to do a name change, you are more than welcome to apply under a different character.)
- Yes I understand. I carefully craft the names of my persona before birthing them into on-line world.

How is your computer performance when playing World of Warcraft? What is your FPS/load times during heavy graphical or high population times? Is your internet connection stable?
- My machine does fine … except after patches >_<.

Provide an armory link to your character.
- http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/t ... ron/simple

Do you have anything further to add?
- If accepted I intend to enlist Uthaerion as well.
