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)
Snipery, Hunter, L37.
2. What hours do you typically play? (Please include time zone as well)
I’m on most week-nights for a couple of hours somewhere between 6pm and 11pm CET/CEST. At the weekend, I try to get on for maybe 3 or 4 hours randomly between 11am and 11pm, not always in one session. I’m rarely online between 8pm and 9pm.
3. What is your experience with World of Warcraft? (How long have you played, were you a raider, role-player, etc.)
I first started playing during vanilla, and stayed with it well into Mist of Pandaria. I’ve only been back on classic for a couple of months, but that’s enough to let me know I want to stay on. It’s good to be back in Azeroth again. I’m primarily an explorer, with socialiser as a subtype. I’ve done a bit of roleplaying, but I’ve never been interested in grinding raids or anything else.
4. What is your favorite thing about World of Warcraft Classic WotLK? (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’m not a fast player. I was never in much of hurry back in vanilla, and nowadays my hands tend to be stiff and painful – hooray for passing 50! – so it’s lucky I’m happy taking my time. I generally level solo, and I’m not entirely comfortable in PUGs, but it can be nice to do group content that’s not too high-pressure. I’m easy-going, so when I’m around, I’m almost always happy to help out, take part in random things, and generally be involved in chat.
5. What are your goals in Classic WotLK, and what do you look forward to the most?
I always enjoyed the gameplay of WotLK more than other expansions. I’m already enjoying pre-patch levelling, and I’m looking forward to getting to explore Northrend again, ideally in the company of some nice people.
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)
I love your values and ethos. You sound great! I’ve never been interested in being part of a guild for its own sake. I’m specifically interested in hanging out with – and getting to know – some pleasant, sociable people while I bumble through the world.
7. What qualities do you have to offer, and what do you expect of your guild?
I’m a relaxed, friendly, naturally-helpful person with a sense of humour and no inclination towards drama or competition. I also have a goofy streak, and rarely take myself seriously. I don’t actually expect anything from a guild, but I do hope to find a warm-hearted home free of bigotry, abuse, and other unpleasant behaviour.
8. Where did you hear of us?
I’m fairly sure it was a list of guilds on the Blizzard forums.
9. Do you know any current or former member of Nighthaven? (If so please include the name of the person)
I’m afraid not, no.
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’m rather burned out by the growing unpleasantness of daily reality. I play games to find a space that doesn’t make me depressed and worried. I’m a writer, editor, and game designer, half-English and half-Greek, and now living in Spain with my American wife. You can get a fair idea of my personality – nerdy, absurdist, a bit spooky around the edges – by looking at the nonsense I re/tweet over at Snipery .
