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 if you have a preferred nickname you may add it in parenthesis: e.g. Moonböw (Moon) or Stargazer (Eric)

2. What hours do you typically play? (Please include time zone as well)
Uk based, GMT time zone. I normally play in the evenings, and some weekends. I am not always on everyday due to work but I like to be on every other day if possible.
3. What is your experience with World of Warcraft? (How long have you played, were you a raider, role-player, etc.)
I have played since Vanilla, TBC was my favourite expansion followed by Wrath. I started with friends but they all stopped playing over the years and I kept it up, mostly solo. I was really excited to see classic launch, and then TBC. I dipped my toes into raiding a little in Wrath but I never had a guild to help me along so I have mostly played solo but enjoyed doing original heroics when I could. That's something I am attempting to do again this time around. I always preferred RP realms for the community, and I had to move to Pyrewood from Hydraxian Waterlords because it was just impossible to do group content once in Outland. I'd really love to learn how to raid, or be part of fun content I never got to do before.
4. What is your favorite 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
I just love that I get to relive what felt like "classic" wow for me. During vanilla itself I had only started playing and had a lot of help from friends, but TBC was when I really started learning the game and I so enjoyed everything. Being able to play it again has brought me so much joy. I suppose I am a casual player considering I'm in my 30s now and have less time. I still like doing dungeons and I am trying to get some good gear but I do feel like I am quite isolated. I haven't found a guild that fits right for me, I dislike the min-maxing side of things as I really think this takes away from what WoW used to be. I'd love to find a guild that has a similar mindset and just wants to have fun and experience what WoW has to offer. My best memories from WoW have been when I've been able to do this.
5. What are your goals in Classic TBC, and what do you look forward to the most?
I love being a bit of a completionist so I am hoping to get all my quests and rep up before Wrath hits. I was side tracked with my alts for awhile, so my main still has a bit to go with rep and whatnot. I really want to see if I can hit a few raids this time around as I missed out in Original TBC, but I know I don't have long so I will be content with just exploring the lovely outland for as long as possible!
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)
Honestly I have joined a few casual friendly guilds, and I still haven't found what I am looking for. When I read about Nighthaven I was really excited because I feel like big guilds with revolving members don't do anything for me. I want to find people who will let me try things maybe I haven't done before. And I love to support other people too however I can. I feel like as I get older I don't know how to make online friends anymore, especially on WoW when most are so focused on endgame etc. I also feel like some casual guilds are pretty exclusive when you get in them, and if you aren't part of the main circle you kind of just get ignored.
7. What qualities do you have to offer, and what do you expect of your guild?
I am pretty upbeat when on WoW, I like to help guildies out. I've owned my own guilds over the years (mostly pre-cata) and I always loved keeping guildbanks well stocked, having parties and social events and helping players out with anything they need. I suppose I just want to be a part of something. I'd like to be in a guild that involves me when I try to involve myself. I want to make a few friends and have someone to chat too. I also like having a place to get advice for the game, I may have been playing for a long time but I still have a lot to learn and understand.
8. Where did you hear of us?
I seen an ad on the forums, and I have also seen a few members around the realm. I have been trying to find a casual guild for awhile now, and I have tried a few out that don't really fit so I suppose you could say I am intentionally seeking out guilds who I think I will fit in to - I came across Nighthaven and now I am here!
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven? (If so please include the name of the person)
I do not.
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 always loved the RP style guilds that wanted to create an atmosphere and community whether they were actually RP guilds or not. Back when I started WoW this was what I tried to create in my own guilds and places I belonged. Camaraderie, and a bit of whimsy. We are in a game after all
