So I can't really answer this one specfically yet - I have started leveling a Hunter called Oates, but am strongly considering switching to something else so I will stick with this one to make it easier to process my application 
Generally in the evenings from 18:00 - 23:00 CET (Central European Time)
Where to begin, I started playing WoW towards the end of the original TBC release. I picked up raiding during the start of the original WOTLK release and that was where my love and passion for the game began. I have played on both Horde and Alliance through the years and have raided pretty much throughout. Towards the end of BFA I decided to start my own guild with some friends which eventually evolved into a semi-hardcore raiding guild with even some mythic kills under our belt and two real life guild meetups. After 4 years of leading my "passion-project" I decided I needed a break from the game and from leadership, so I handed the reins to a good friend of mine and said farewell to WoW during the middle of Shadowlands. I have now returned after a long hiatus and thought it might make a nice change to start raiding from where it all began, WOTLK!

For me, it's definitely the huge hit of nostalgia that has drawn me back. I want to experience the music of all the old zones and all the quirks that come with living in "classic" Azeroth again after so many years (What, First Aid is relevant again?!?! 
). It is hugely important to me to find a home with like-minded individuals that aren't just logging in to raid, but also to sit on Discord and just goof around with Of course, seeing the endgame is hopefully a goal for most.

It is hugely important to me to find a home with like-minded individuals that aren't just logging in to raid, but also to sit on Discord and just goof around with Of course, seeing the endgame is hopefully a goal for most.As stated above, it's to see and experience the old days of playing my favourite expansion - I really would love to see some of the endgame content that I missed the first time around (TOTC and ICC)
6. Why would you want to join Nighthaven? (Please note we ask for your reasons for wanting to join -this- guild, not just any guild)
People say first impressions are everything - I read quite a few posts on your threads on the official forums and everyone just seemed really warm and friendly and it gave me the right feeling straight away. It really seems like community is absolutely the main thing you are all striving for here, and I am down for it!
7. What qualities do you have to offer, and what do you expect of your guild?
With all my years of WoW and guild leading experience I have had the pleasure of meeting many, many awesome people. I feel that is down to the fact that I am an approachable, easy-going kind of guy, always willing to help and actively get involved in my community. At the end of the day, communities are what make MMOs for me and online gaming in general.
Expectation-wise, I guess I'm just hoping to find some like-minded folks to enjoy the wonders of classic WOTLK together with, hopefully with a healthy bit of raiding on the side 
8. Where did you hear of us?
I actually went super old-school and browsed the forums and came across this community, as I mentioned before, just scrolling down the comments in the thread and seeing everyone's passion and clearly a focus on kinship just gave me a really good impression.
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven? (If so please include the name of the person)
Sadly not! (At least not yet! )
)10. Is there anything else you would like to add to help us know if we´d be a good match for each other?
I've been told I sound like Samwise Gamgee, which is either a blessing or curse depending on who you're talking to.
Thank you in advance for reading and taking the time to consider my application. I hope to hear from you all soon!
