    Heya,

    It's been a while (more than 6 months) since I've last played, but I'm looking for a place to get back into GW casually and enjoy the game without the pressures of speed clears or whatever else seems to be the norm today.

    Anyways,

    1) Why are you interested in joining XoO:Guild Wars?

    Well, I used to play in Reign of Xen [RoX] way back when XoO was more GvG/PvP oriented, and I remember that I really enjoyed the experience. Things have changed (and so has GW) since then, and I really don't have 4-5 hours/day to dedicate to the game, and, to be honest, the passion's really not as much there anymore. Hopefully XoO can help a bit with the latter.

    2) In Game Names(s)?

    Trium Valandir for PvE, Laurin Valandir for PvP. That's about all I use currently.

    3) How long have you been playing GW?


    1748 hours, 18 minutes over the past 56 months. Actually seems a bit embarrassing looking at it in print.

    4) Which Campaign(s) do you own/planning to purchase?


    I own all three campaigns, as well as EoTN.

    5) What style of play do you prefer (e.g. pvp, pve, both)?


    It used to be mostly PvP, but now it's more PvE, though I (think I) still enjoy both.

    a) What kinds of activities are you interested in?

    I'd like to try out HA and GvG again to see what it's like, but currently I'm just working through the PvE parts of the game I've missed to see if there's anything interesting. Dungeons/elite areas would be fun, and vanquishing or other title-related things are on my list as well.

    b) Please list any accomplishments you may have earned.

    I am a Hero rank 5, and have some random other titles that don't really mean anything. I am pretty proud of leading one of the first guilds with a guild hall (Exiles of the Shard [EoS]) through the first beta weekends and up until Factions was released, but we never really took off.

    c) What will you contribute to the guild? How will you improve our guild and be a valued member?

    I've done a fair share of team/guild building and organizing back in the first year of GW's release, and I don't mind helping people less experienced than myself in whatever they need. I'm not sure if I still have the experience to help out, but if I do, I'll use it. Besides that, I'm willing to jump in groups to PvP/PvE/do whatever when I'm on, and contribute whatever else is needed.

    d) What are you good at? What builds/professions do you usually play? What weaknesses do you find yourself having?

    PvP-wise, I used to play a lot of dom mes and flagging/running/splits in GvGs. I'm mostly a midliner, with more experience in Me/X, E/X, and R/X. My PvE characters that I use are E/X (primary) and sometimes Me/X.

    I think my biggest weakness, PvP-wise, is that I can get tunnel vision and forget the bigger picture. PvE-wise, it's a lack of knowledge of the elite areas besides the UW, and I'm not even sure if it's the same. Also, I don't really know what the meta is and what builds/skills to run.


    6) Country?

    US

    a) Timezone? (GMT+/-)

    US Eastern, GMT -5.

    b) Normal Play-times? (e.g. M-F, weekends, etc)

    Weekdays in the evening, weekends in the afternoon.

    c) Best time to contact In-Game?

    Any time I'm playing or on, around 6-7 PM EST is generally good.
    7) How did you hear about us? (please include any member referrals)

    I honestly can't remember where I first heard about XoO, I think it was from one of the forums (GWOnline/Guru).

    After being in RoX, my computer died and I had my first extended absence. After coming back, I spent a few months in the Order of Dii [Dii], and then a lot of time in Virtual Love [kiSu] when I wanted to move back into GvG/PvP. I know both guilds are still around, but I doubt anyone's still around as a referral, seeing as most of my friends list is inactive.

    8) Any special cares/concerns?

    Nope!
