    Previous Gaming Experience:
    My gaming history started with Spyro the Dragon, for the good old PlayStation....

    But my PC gaming history started with Cabal Online, a type of MMORPG. I played it for a good 2-3 years. I still play it a little as of today. I liked Cabal, and even got a couple of friends to play it with me aswell.
    We even made a little friend guild, and we did a couple of instances and a little end game. It was awesome, we still talk about it from time to time.

    But after a while, most of my friends got an eye for WoW, and in the end, I was the only one left in Cabal. I decided to try out WoW, even though I liked Cabal. I'm glad that I convinced myself, since the best gaming experience I've ever had was in the PreTBC aera of WoW. I played a Troll Shaman, mostly Elemental but also a little Enhancement. It wasn't long before TBC arrived, but I had a great time in this aera.

    TBC arrived, and it was a cool change, but I didn't quite like the way WoW was headning. I did play it quite alot, and managed to get a few pieces of T6, and the Zul Aman War Bear before the EasyModePatch.

    Then WotLK arrived... I leveled up to Lv80, along with some friends from TBC, but none of us did like the endgame of WotLK, so it didn't take long before we threw in the towel.

    It was at this time I got an eye for FPS games. I tried out CS and CS:S, but I fell in love with CoD 4, which is still one of my favorite games of all time.

    It was allot of fun, but I also learned that some days you feel like a god, and some days you just want to slap the enemy across the face... really hard.

    After some time, I started to miss the feeling of playing a MMO, and I started to check up on different gaming related sites on a daily basis.

    It was then I saw the 2007 G-Star Trailer for Aion. I was immediately hooked. A game with great visuals, style, wings, flying combat... I couldn't have dreamt of more.

    While I waited eagerly, I played games such as Oblivion, Mass Effect and Baldur's Gate I-II.

    I also found a job at a nearby sport shop, as my old laptop just didn't have that spark in it anymore. So I spared up money in order to afford a gaming rig for my needs.

    Time went by, and I started to go Longboarding as a hobby to keep time going.

    One day when I was lurking on Aionsource, I found a post explaning how to play on the chinese version of the game. Before I even knew it, I was playing Aion. Or atleast trying, as I had some problems with GameGuard. But I had some experiences with GameGuard from Cabal Online, so I managed to solve the problems quick!

    When I had just reached Lv5, I knew that this game was a game for me. I didn't play the chinese version alot, due to the closed betas were soon arriving, and I had a rather high latency.

    I participated in all 6 closed betas, and did have some great experiences in the abyss before the closed/open beta was over.

    Release came, and after reading and studying the classes, templar was the class closest to my liking. I rolled as an Asmodian Templar, and leveled quick to up to Lv50.

    However, exams and real life got kind of in the way for me, so I didn't get to play that much as I had hoped for in the 50s.

    When I did get more free time, many people had some of the best gear in slot, while I still were waddeling around in leveling gear.

    I took a break from Aion, and returned upon the arrival of Assault of Balaurea, in which I also had a break from not so long ago, but started for real a month ago.

    Atm I'm Lv54, soon 55, and I meet one of your members, Darkpheonix. He asked if I was interested in joining Xen, and then he guided me to the official site for Xen, in which he said I should make an application

    Which I just did. (This got a little longer than I had in mind... Oh, well)
    Why did you choose XoO:
    The main reason was the you don't only "operate" within Aion, but have a gaming community going on, which I would like to be a part of!

    (Also the obvious and apparent that you're the best) *cough*
    Why do you think you'll be a good fit?
    I may be young, but I do behave as an adult.
    (Some even say that I seem like to be older than themselves, even though they're in their 20's.)
    I get allong people well, and my tanking is just awesome. I also have much experience with MMO(RPG)'S, FPS'S and gaming generaly.

    I also have great sence of humor, and I threat people with respect.
    What will you contribute to the guild?
    I'm fully capable of being a group leader, as the tank usualy is.

    I bring awesome tanking, including spanking, and I'm one of those with common sense, which is rare these days for my age, I have experienced.
    What do you want from the guild?
    I would like XoO to understand that I sometimes "vanish" for a week or more, due to real life. I do of course post on forums/tell it ingame on before hand.
    Localization:
    EU
    Do you have a referral?
    Darkpheonix
    A little bit about yourself?
    I'm an active teenager, and have a passion for gaming, longboarding and snowboarding.

    I respect people, have common sense, and bring humor to the people I'm interacting with.

    I'm also from Norway, and I love cheeze.
    Activity level?
    Varies from 20-30, and sometimes 40 per week.
    Do you have a high speed internet connection and a good computer?
    Yes
    Have you applied to the Aion (EU) usergroup?
    Yes
