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)
Efrosina, shaman, 8 lvl.

2. What hours do you typically play? (Please include time zone as well)
Evenings, 10:00 PM - 01:00 AM (GMT+2/+3). Not fixed.

3. What is your experience with World of Warcraft? (How long have you played, were you a raider, role-player, etc.)
From 2005 till WotLK; quit while halfway in Ulduar, after my guild got disbanded (merged with a larger guild). A few years later, joined two old friends for ~3 months in Mists of Pandaria. Hadn't touched WoW since then (and until yesterday).
I've done some raiding, but I've never been in a hardcore raiding guild. Spent most of my game time doing random solo activities in the world - chasing rare items, uncovering secrets, fishing, PvP-ing, etc.
Played group content (mostly dungeons) with guildies at every opportunity. And regularly attempted to create such opportunities. I didn't enjoy playing with randoms very much.
I also loved the battlegrounds and fighting the enemy faction. Did not like the arena, though, as I prefer the more "sandboxy" style of PvP - with open spaces and more opportunities to apply imagination and creativity.
Roleplaying... while I am not a typical lore roleplayer, I tend to roleplay in group and guild chats as a hyperactive, and even loud, jokester.

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
My favorite thing is losing myself in the world and playing (or just chatting) with ingame friends. Third favorite thing is "interacting" with players from the opposite faction.
I do aim for improving my character, but I rarely get too obsessed with such goals. If I can't get a certain item, I rarely have a problem to get over it.

5. What are your goals in Classic TBC (WotLK?), and what do you look forward to the most?
WotLK was a magical experience that happened during a particularly calm period of my life and I want to relive it, at least partially. I love cold and snowy environments, woods, and the Scourge is a favorite part of WoW's lore for me.
It would be great if I can find a bunch of other players that share my passion for that world and don't mind doing some dungeons together. Or just fool around Northrend and share the experiences in guild chat.
Raiding and seeing some of the high-level content would be nice, but not a goal. Also, I don't plan doing much PvP this time. Reasons for both are the limited time for playing and the relatively frequent interruptions I get these days.

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)
The manner in which you respond to the applications on this forum won me. I haven't seen such kindness, such attention to everyone who wants to join, and such meticulous approach to the whole recruitment process. Despite not advertising it as a "hardcore" guild, it feels like an elite society!
I also liked the type of people you tend to attract (read through the last 20 or so applications).
And finally, I kinda fit the demographic profile - age, obligations, etc.
- - -
7. What qualities do you have to offer, and what do you expect of your guild?
I think most people find my company somewhat entertaining.
And I am loyal to the people (and the animals) around me. I've never left (or been kicked from) a guild, unless it's an official disband. Doing stuff together and having a laugh is a priority; killing/looting the boss is secondary or optional.
And I was (am?) somewhat experienced in the game. I've tanked and DPS-ed in many dungeons (plus quite a few raids). Towards the end of my previous WoW "career", I discovered I quite enjoy healing in dungeons and battlegrounds as well.
- - -
8. Where did you hear of us?
Noticed your thread on the official WoW forum.
- - -
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven? (If so please include the name of the person)
No, I literally started yesterday on Pirewood Village.
- - -
10. Is there anything else you would like to add to help us know if we´d be a good match for each other?
If this is the place to share my weaknesses, I'd say that I played during times when being "toxic" was the norm. But I like to think that today I am a wiser version of myself, aware that current players probably aren't used to the harsh language from those "dark" times
