Guild Wars 2 ApplicationHow old are you? 39 In-Game Name? Icculus Do you have Teamspeak 3 and a mic? Yes What is your prefered playstyle? PvP What kinds of activities are you interested in? Primarily WvW and Ranked PvP matches. Previous Gaming Experience: Meridian 59 EQ1 / EQ2 - Officer - Relentless - Cazic Thule WoW / SW:ToR - Officer - Onibatsu - Dune Maul Conan / Warhammer / Aion / Rift - Guild Leader - Grudge Why did you choose XoO: After running a very large guild in Warhammer and seeing the WvW action coming for GW2, i recognized how much more fun it will be to play with a large coordinated group... After researching the major large guilds gearing up for GW2, XoOs long stable history has convinced us this is the best choice. Why do you think you'll be a good fit? I know what it takes to make a large guild operate and realize one of the most important qualities in a member is the ability to stfu and follow directions. Also i come with a small group / team that has been playing together for 7 years together and have gotten many many server / world 1sts together. What will you contribute to the guild? I have almost 15 years experience in most major MMOs that have been released. I am comfortable leading a team in PVP and have tons of experience doing so in Warhammer and Aion. I know how to follow directions welll and understand that the key to winning usually depends on having people willing guard the more mundane required battlefield positions. Localization: NA Do you have a referral? nupe. A little bit about yourself? I am a retired 39 yr old ex-wall st computer consultant... I have a ridiculous amount of time on my hands to waste on MMOs. Activity level? 120+ yes. seriously. Do you have a high speed internet connection and a good computer? Yes Have you applied to the GW2 usergroup? Yes
Hi Icculus, Our Guild Wars 2 recruiting is currently closed; however, if you would like to join us in another game we can get to know you better and transfer you into the Guild Wars 2 division. Are there any other games you'd like to play with us as well? This is mostly so that we can get you involved in the community so we can work as a unit when the game launches. Can I suggest League of Legends or Guild Wars 1?
Our PvP group for GW2 is currently preparing in GW1, so you may want to join them there. Could definitely use more committed players.
well at this point we are still enjoying sw:tor for what its worth and none of us have GW1 accounts =( I am available to chat anytime, any day on TS if you would like. My hopes were to be able to meet up in one of the beta phases of GW2. Once we get closer to actual launch if thats what it takes im sure i can convince people to go out and buy GW1.
Hey there, Icculus. Did anyone ever get back to you? We'll technically be recruiting you for GW1, so I hope that's okay. Just shoot me a PM whenever you have time for a quick interview (I'll get an email alert for it). Sorry we've been slow on the uptake here; our GW1 officers have been busy with real life stuff.
I interviewed him and he has my personal recommendation for acceptance. He hasn't actually played GW1 before, but he is considering picking it up. I don't have the permissions to accept him, though, so I'll pass this on to an officer who does, but I approve. Cool guy.
thank you i will be pre-purchasing gw2, so hopefully we can meet up during those weekend beta phases where everyone who purchased gets in.
