GENERAL

When did you start playing WoW? About 2 years ago

What areas do you think you could improve in and why? I'm probably a little rusty as I haven't raided for 2-3 months, and I could use more practice healing in raids, I've got the hang of healing heroics down pat but need to learn how to do the same in raids.

PvE, PvP and RP? Which aspect(s) of the game you like better in which descending order and why? PvE > RP\PvP. My main focus has always been raiding, I like Wintergrasp but BGs are only a passtime and I've never done arena at all tbh.

How often (roughly) do you play WoW? (hours/day) Currently runing the daily dungeons and Wintergrasp, not much else.

Do you share your account with anybody? No

What are your previous guilds on this server and reasons for leaving them? Andraste Cadifors, I left to join EoL. EoL, I left after a long and happy time in the guild when the raid leader left, I followed him to Soulforge as I loved the way he led raids and was unsure what EoL would be like without him. Soulforge I left after raiding nearly constantly from Kara to Ulduar, when Ulduar opened I felt burnt out after a week, I don't think I suited the raiding they were doing and felt under appriciated. I didn't leave SF in a good way, I logged off after a raid one night and didn't log on again for 2 months, I had just had enough.


How do you find gnomes? a) cute, b) evil or c) tasty cute

Are you aware that if accepted, your guild master will be a gnome? And no, the previous question has no relevance with this one! yes!

Why do you want to join the Echoes of Lordaeron? EoL were the best guild I have been in in terms of atmosphere, organisation friendlyness and attitude. I want to get back to raiding and I think EoL are the best guild to do that with.

Why do you think we should choose you? I'm a proven tank with good offset healing and dps skills

Who can we contact for reference*? Lots of people in EoL - Mystikal, Razsagal, Taz, Liesje

Thank you for applying and good luck. Anything else you would like to add? I hope I get in?

[Saraesa / Liesje]

I want to see you for a real life application information at our guildmeeting.


PS, Jealousy says yes, but he's not in charge, so whatever

[Chamual]

Guild meeting?

[Saraesa / Liesje]

Next weekend in Manningtree, Essex. Contact any EoLers ingame for more info.

Cham's goodbye post for those of us/you (not sure what fits nowadays ) who were there at the "Sundering" of EoL/SF. (Someone should really write the EoL history some day!). I have a feeling that some people will hold it against you that you left EoL during this time.

I however will not, since I damn well remember the feeling that time, seeing people I've played with for so long (some even back to pre-EoL for me) splitting up. It's not that simple as saying "I'll be doing it this way" when you're forced to choose between two groups of people you both want to play and hang around with. If this two months thing is true (which I have no doubt about) then I'd say that's good enough proof for people that you're not just a guild-hopper heading for greener pastures either.

Right! Now when we're past that gloomy history and stuff, we can get down to the important fact: OMGITSCHAM! I remember a few tanks on this server I always knew would do their job right and not fuck up leaving me with my pants down (metaphorically) as I critted for awesome numbers (literally *flex*) and you were definately on that list. Also, that accent... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

Moonkin sends OP-Cloud greeting!

[Chamual]

I would completely understand if people held it against me for joining Soulforge, just as I wouldn't be suprised if anyone from Soulforge was angry about how I left that guild. In my defense I tried by best not to upset people when I left EoL, I just felt that SF was the future, I'm not even sure if they are still going however?

hmm, cant find edit button. When I meant SF was the future (or so i thought) it was mostly because of Eldare. When I went on my first EoL trial run back in BT I was so impressed with Eldare and his style of raiding (chain pulling, no messing about, clear tactics) as well as the rest of the guild that I instantly knew EoL was where I wanted to raid.

I felt Eldare was the key to EoL raiding being so enjoyable and successful but I guess I forgot that he was just one part of the great leadership EoL had in TBC. At the time Eldare was leaving Liesje announced she was stepping back from guild management (arranging signups and schedules etc.) and I felt that perhaps the 'golden time' of EoL had passed and the guild would not be so strong. I felt with the 2 main people that ran the guild not being there it wouldn't be the same, so thats why I though SF would be the future EoL....

Dont you think its a little lame re-applying to a guild you left because you didnt think it was good enough?

[Gemrah]

Hey Cham!

*Waves

*wanders off muttering about second chances and other awesome traits of EoLness.

[Chamual]

Its not that I didn't think EoL were good enough, more that I thought they were coming to an end. The raid leader and several key raiders and guild elders left, Liesje was stepping back from organising things and I couldn't see how anyone could do it as well as her, she must of put in like 37 hours a week doing it!! There also seemed to be some unhappy members and a couple of arguments going on (mostly in Officer chat although I didn't hear much of it not being an officer).

Since then I've realised that there is more to a guild than clearing content at breakneck pace for the sake of it, and I've seen EoL rebuild after the storm and some of the new members that've joined are some of my best buddies from back in Andraste Cadifors.

I've taken a break cause I got burnt out, now I want to come back and join what I think is the best guild on the server. Sure I left them before for other things, but as things stand now I don't think it is in anyway lame to apply to EoL.

Hey Cham Good to see you again.

(Don't be too angry with Lae btw. I think she's just saying what is at the back of everyones mind)

[Laerel1]

I'm just saying what I see really ._.

[Chamual]

Got bored of Soulforge? Where do you get that idea? I left because I had had enough of raiding and WoW, I'd been doing it solidly for about 18 months sitting starting Kara and burning through Ulduar in a week, getting shouted at for talking to a keeper (like we were really going to get to Yoggy that week), a couple of other things and generally feeling fed up with it all. I didn't leave in the best way but it was just that I had had enough of WoW, I didn't want to log on or anything, just get away from it for a while.

[Merke]

Omg guys! He spoke to a keeper! <.< Can we let anyone with this apparent lack of insight in the guild! Talking a Keeper... A KEEPER! W.T.F.

xD I'm kidding Cham. A vouch for this guy btw. He just followed where his heart was at, which is what everyone did when the split took place. He didn't leave with any malice or such. So long as he's not too rusty ;) and he's gonna read up on all the HMs and such he hasn't done.
