1. What is the name, class and level of your main character on Pyrewood Village, the one with which you wish to join Nighthaven? (This info is needed so we can process your application - and to know what we can call you . )
Dracaryn - Level 40 Night Elf Hunter (Beast Mastery) - But honestly - I am more known as Lego or Lich (online handles)
2. What hours do you typically play? (Please include time zone as well)
Time zone: GMT i usually play after work so any time from 5pm onwards during the week and whenever I feel like logging in at the weekends or when on annual leave.
3. What is your experience with World of Warcraft? (How long have you played, were you a raider, role-player, etc.)
I have played WoW in some form or another for 15 years - it has basically been the latter part of my teens and all of my adult life - in that time I have done most everything in the game apart from healing and PVP. Most of the time when i played actively i was a raider - nothing too hardcore, but i lead my own team within the late great TotalBiscuit's Guild TrollFaceDOTJpg- where I was the: Raid Leader, Main Tank, Head of Loot Council, Tank Role Officer, DK Class Officer and the Master Looter (I was young and didn't know how to properly delegate). Unfortunately, due to doing all of the above whilst simultaneously working a 9-5 and trying to have a career, led to me having a breakdown mentally and quitting the raid game from opening Cataclysm Tier - until the Siege of Orgrimmar raid in Mists. I have rolled with guilds most of the time - but find myself playing WoW (at least on retail) more like a single player RPG.
These days I am not here to be competitive, I am here to turn up, do my job well, and go about my business, i still like to look up strategies and the like for whatever class i am playing at the time, however I am NOT the min/max'er I used to be.
4. What is your favourite thing about World of Warcraft Classic TBC? (The community? The Immersion? The progression? Are you a fast leveller or do you like taking your time? Do you like doing dungeons and raids? Chatting with others? Or are you more the solo and quiet type? Tell us a bit about yourself
Think what originally back to classic and then TBC - was the server community aspect - it was great in the early days when there was such a willingness to be social and help people again - this is something WoW has lost over the years (thanks cross realm LFG). The main thing I enjoy about classic TBC is the dungeons - being able to have them to do and for them on heroic to not be cake walk aoe fest.
5. Which goals do you have in Classic TBC and what do you look forward to the most?
I am genuinely looking forward to the getting enough gold together to do the Netherwing stuff again, I truly enjoyed doing that back in the day (boot-a-rang quest anyone) - So that is probably one of my major goals. The other one is experiencing Black Temple as recent content - sadly the guild i was in back in 2006/7 was not big enough to do the 25 man raids - so that is something I would love to do again.
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)
This is where guild applications get hard for me- I am in a guild with a streamer friend of mine at the moment, but as much as they like to offer support - it only appears to be for the people who are close to 70 or are getting their attunements done- being level 40 with limited play time the amount of support offered is not great. This is where I found out about Nighthaven - I was looking at the realm forums (shock, I know) - and saw the recruitment thread - and I thought to myself, this looks to be the type of community that I want to be involved with, as it reminded me of the very first WoW guild I joined back in Vanilla. Guilds/Community is the best thing WoW has offered, and I truly believe that the social aspect of the game is why it has remained so strong for nearly 20 years, I have yearned for that type of community feeling again, and I believe that Nighthaven offers me that opportunity to be involved within a community again.
7. Which qualities do you have to offer, and - what do you expect of your guild?
I have done most things and experienced a lot in game - I bring with me the best part of 15 years knowledge on most of the classes in the game (apart form warlocks, they have always baffled me)- once you get tom know me I like to think I am very approachable and can offer advice where needed. I have a lot of experience different roles within a guild and given time and opportunity, i can bring that experience here as well.
As above I have yearned for that type of community feeling again, and I believe that Nighthaven offers me that opportunity to be involved within a community again. I expect of a guild to be a fun environment to play with where we have the opportunity to might many wonderful people from around the globe - thanks to the game I have made friends on most continents around the globe, and been able to meet some of them in person was superb and genuinely some of the best times of my life.
8. Where did you hear of us?
As mentioned above - this is one of the rare times the Realm Forums where not a cesspit trash can dumpster fire - the post on there looked great and really professional and piqued |(great word) my interest
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven? (If so please include the name of the person)
N/A
10. Anything else you would like to add to help us know, if we´d be a good match for each other?
I am available most of the day via discord (legolich#5602 and bnet plainlyadam#2766) if you would like to discuss more in person.
