    Guild Wars 2 Application
    How old are you?
    19 (probably 20 by release)
    In-Game Name?
    Deru/Malkizid/Pravadeus
    Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a mic?
    Yes
    What is your prefered playstyle?
    Both
    What kinds of activities are you interested in?
    I mainly PvE, I've raided in WoW for 6 years now, but I also enjoy PvP, so long as it's with people I enjoy hanging with. PvE has always been my passion, and I look forward to continuing it in GW2. I am a big lore fanatic, and an achievement whore to boot. In WoW I've accumulated some 13800 ach points on my main. I enjoy crafting and gathering, and all the other little things you can do besides.
    Previous Gaming Experience:
    Like I mentioned earlier, I've played WoW for a long time. I've gotten many server firsts, and participated in tons of guild activities. I've also played other MMOs like Aion, GW1, Vanguard, City of Heroes, Rift, ToR, as well as a ton of other smaller ones, and of course Runescape (I know, I know). I'm currently in the TERA Beta, and am having a blast. My main focus in MMOs has been PvE, but I'm pretty good at PvP too.
    Why did you choose XoO:
    I played Aion with XoO, but had to leave for RL reasons. The size and mindset of the XoO community is one of the best I've seen in my lengthy MMO career. The officers are knowledgeable and incredibly helpful, and the members are engaging and fun to play with. The Aion division I played with was interested and good at the PvPvE aspect of Aion during the time I was there, and I had a blast.
    Why do you think you'll be a good fit?
    I don't mean to toot my own horn (but here I go), but I'm a really good MMOer. In WoW I consistently rank on heroic PvE encounters, and I am an active PvPer. I tend to accumulate a lot of esoteric knowledge about games, which comes in handy when people ask questions in guild or general server channels. I love to help out guildies with quests or dungeons or whatever they're doing at the time.
    What will you contribute to the guild?
    I tend to have an inordinate amount of free time on my hands, so after I finish things like dailies, I tend to go off and gather or farm stuff. This comes in handy in games like WoW where I stick the mats I get in the guild bank, or other games where guildies ask in guild for something and I happen to have it lying around after a farming session. Like I said, I'm an excellent raid member, I'm an intelligent individual who can follow directions but also make good smart decisions on the fly.
    Localization:
    NA
    Do you have a referral?
    -
    A little bit about yourself?
    I'm 19 (male) as I write this application, but I will probably be 20 by the time the game comes out. I currently attend college in San Francisco, getting my Mathematics degree, and planning on day becoming a math teacher. I love everything fantasy and sci-fi, and am an avid reader. I enjoy activities like D&D and other tabletop games, as well as board games. I'm just an all-around nerd, who loves to play MMOs! I mainly play WoW, but like I said, I've got a lot of free time on my hands, so I plan on playing GW2 often as well.
    Activity level?
    15-20+
    Do you have a high speed internet connection and a good computer?
    Yes
    Have you applied to the GW2 usergroup?
    Yes

    XoO is a guild that primarily focuses on PvP, requiring dedicated PvP participation. We might not be a guild you enjoy, given your play style.

    Well like I said, I do both, I just tend to PvE more in the games I play now. But if you think it's not a good fit I understand :)

    I'm willing to reserve a decision until I've had a chance to interview you. :D

    PM so we can get that scheduled.

    He and I were having a bit of trouble meeting up, and I haven't heard from him in a couple of weeks. So, until I do...
