Grim Application For Astriana
How did you hear about The Grim?
I've played on TN since before AQ40 was opened so I'm familiar with The Grim. I'd like to play with my wife and daughter who recently joined on Darkhide and Ellesmiria.
What experience do you have with internet forums? Do you check them frequently or infrequently?
I'm a C/PHP programmer so yeah I have experience with forums. I'll admit I don't check in on any of the WOW forums much these days.
What sort of role-playing experience do you have? Would you consider yourself a beginner or Gary Gygax?
My first guild Amangur Empire was originally a strict RP guild but really I would have to consider myself a beginner. I'm pretty quiet when it comes to chat.
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?
No I don't have any experience with this alignment however it's not far from my playstyle from back in BC and Wrath. If it's red it's dead. I can still hear the echoes of Halaa...
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.
I cut my teeth on a feral druid Mordunn in Amangur Empire back in Vanilla. I started raiding MC and ZG with some friends in TN raiders. at 60 I healed as feral with healer gear and downranked spells and nobody knew I wasn't resto, lol. I've raided as a holy pally since BC in Amangur and I love the class so much I have another holy pally on Kirin Tor that I rolled a few years ago to play with my daughter. Unfortunately that one currently outgears my TN toon. We did a guild transfer of AE over to Kirin Tor. I joined For Science to play with some old friends from AE but the guild fell apart several days after I joined.
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.
No this is my main character.
What are your expectations for your character after joining The Grim. What aspect of the game, if any, do you wish to focus on?
PVE raiding. I'd like to work with a competent group of people to progress through the end game of Mists. I also miss our DUI Fridays (Dungeons Under the Influence - I homebrew beer so I usually have 10-15 gallons on tap) and world PvP.
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?
Pretty extensive. I have a combined 480 days of played time between all my toons. I've bear tanked from Vanilla through Cata, healed as a holy pally since BC and healed/dps on a priest up to MoP as shadow, holy and disc.
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?
Off and on. I haven't done BGs or Arenas in ages. I do enjoy some PvP action once in a while.
What is your regular World of Warcraft play schedule? If your answer is "anytime", "flexible", or some other vague word please describe why. Our scheduled interview times are 8pm on Monday and 10am on Wednesdays. Can you make either of those times?
I work until 6 PM M-F and play most evenings. I can make an 8pm interview.
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 is decent and normally runs 50-60 FPS in 10 mans, sometimes dips down in the teens in 25 man raid finder. Load times are fine as I have an SSD and 8 GB of RAM. I do run with a lot of mods. Internet connection is 20 Mbps from Time Warner Cable and it's been pretty reliable.
Provide an armory link to your character.

Do you have anything further to add?
I'm still working on gearing her up and some of my heroic blues are not enchanted as I expect to replace them before raiding.

Re: Astriana
Sorry I didn't see your message from Sunday I was busy brewing a double batch of beer until way late. I also submitted my LoI.
