Hello everyone,
I applied around the same time one year ago and dropped it for "reasons" back then. If possible, I would like to re-open that application and hopefully find a place here.
1. What is the name, class and level of your main character on Pyrewood Village?
I have a level 40 Mage and a 58 Druid (boosted from 35, I know... not my best idea ever), but I plan to go through questing and dungeons to be ready for WotLK (likely some time after launch day) on the rogue that I just created, named Saljumerah.

2. What hours do you typically play?
I usually play in the evening hours, around 20:00-22:00 CET, but on a lazy work day, I might log in throughout the day for a bit. I'm not online every day, though, due to other offline commitments.
3. What is your experience with World of Warcraft?
(Same as before)
I used to play retail when WoW launched, mostly during the closed and open beta actually, since the game was quickly sold out at launch and downloading a whole game wasn't a thing yet. XD
I kept playing casually after TBC and Wrath launched... came back again after Cataclysm and looked into every expansion ever since, but did not really play ambitiously. I never hit level cap until Legion. I mostly came for role-playing, especially during Wrath. Haven't touched Shadowlands and don't intend to.
... I'm curious about Dragonflight, but I believe Blizz might have some more work to do to pull me back into retail.
4. What is your favorite thing about World of Warcraft Classic?
(Same as before)
I like the slow pace and the sense of accomplishment. Also, the freedom and the feeling of traveling through a huge world attracts me the most. As I implied, I'm a very slow player. Back when WoW launched, I enjoyed it mostly for the sense of going out into the world, stumble upon another player to travel with for a bit, do a quest or a dungeon together, and I generally liked the positivity that came from "adventuring together".
Some of this has been preserved in Classic, but I have to say the community overall has become quite a bit more impatient and less forgiving... some people might say toxic, although my personal experience has been relatively uneventful.
Since I'm slow, I'm not into raiding or collecting top tier gear. I enjoy doing dungeons, my favorites being Black Fathom Deeps and Maraudon and in TBC the ones in Zangarmarsh. I also still like rp if it comes up.
Obviously, I'm hoping to find a kind and open-minded community that accepts casual players and where I can find people to help me out with content, same as I'm ready to contribute to the healthiness of this same community in return.
5. Which goals do you have in TBC and what do you look forward to the most in the expansion?
I actually don't have in-game goals that I think are worth mentioning. I really just want to play to relax and it would be nice to have a few people to talk to and to reach out to do some content together when possible.

(Same as before)
I have tried to find a welcoming, i.e. positive and well sustained guild, and I stumbled upon the good reputation of Nighthaven. When I started to look closer, like right now, I get the feeling that even the application process suggests that you take sustaining a well-rounded and positive community seriously.

I also think the demography here fits myself very well, so I'm excited about that.
7. Which qualities do you have to offer, and - what do you expect of your guild?

(Same as before)
Not sure about qualities... but I can say that I'm an open-minded person, I support the LGBTQ+ community, I'm wholeheartedly against any forms of sexism, racism or discrimination, and generally I'm all about fairness, equality and equal opportunity. This mindset of acceptance and support is what I intend to bring to any place and community that I join, which doesn't mean that I talk about that all the time of course, but it's also constantly on my mind and I do get triggered whenever I see someone argue against this basic and for me self-evident understanding. Obviously, I'm not perfect, and I also do make mistakes, possibly step on someone's toes, too. Please let me know if I do, so I can attempt to do better.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can offer... But if there ever is anything that I can contribute in-game or out of game, I'll see how I can do that best. And if I cannot contribute something, I'll also say that clearly as well, to not create any false expectations.
8. Where did you hear of us?
From my prior application and before that from just browsing the Blizzard forums for guilds...
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven?
I don't think so. I have not been active on Pyrewood Village before, and I don't think we crossed paths elsewhere yet.
10. Anything else you would like to add to help us know if we'd be a good match for each other?
I feel like I already wrote a lot and I think I already covered the most important points. In case I missed something that you'd like to know, which is totally possible, please let me know.
