I. Basic
Name: Iceman / Dave
Age: 32 (I know, gulp)
Time Zone: EST
Availability: Varies. I work full time, have a needy fiance and good friends.
Preferred Play Time: Weeknights/weekends
II. Experience
MMO History: Medievia (a MUD and I think at one point was the biggest in the world), Warhammer Online, WoW, SWTOR
Raiding: Normal mode Firelands and Dragon Soul
PvP: I was huge into PvP when I MUD'd 15 years ago (I would say that I was top 5 in the game, which probably means I was top 10 - active player base of 3,000 or so). Took a long break from gaming then jumped into WAR when it was a dying game. Didn't enjoy PvP in WoW and rediscovered my love for it in TOR. Started on a dying server so re-rolled on another server with a friend that is now dying (the server, not the friend). My 2nd char is almost battlemaster level (not that that matters much).
Leadership: Lead a clan in my MUD and held an officer position (reluctantly) in WoW. No desire to lead, though. That is for the young guys with all of the fire.
III. Computer Stuff
CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU 930 @ 2.80GHz 2.80GHz
RAM: 9.00 GB
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5670
Connection Speed:
Headset: Yep
Additional Peripherals: love the Razer Naga
Voice-chat programs installed: Vent/Mumble
IV. Whatever Else
Other Contributions: My fiance is pretty hot.
Guild Expectations: I just want to be able to log on and play (primarily PvP) with a group of people that are competent and not douchebags. Having a good sense of humor is a plus. Judging by your video that doesn't seem to be an issue (well done on that btw gentlemen).
Etc.:
I know I don't have a high WoW arena rating nor did I ever delve into heroics. As I said before, WoW pvp just never grabbed me and raiding-wise I joined a guild that had great guys who weren't necessarily great players. I could've made the jump to a heroic guild (I was usually ranked somewhere World of Log parses for my class), but I'm at the point where I value camaraderie over skill. So I stayed where I was and don't regret it at all. However, we've all grown tired of the game (as have I) and I'm looking for the next game. GW2 seems to be it. Now I just need a good guild to roll with and you guys seem to be a good fit.
I know you guys are trying to weed out the baddies and I'm not sure I have enough to show I'm not one. I will link my WoL and armory, but I understand if that is not enough. For what it's worth, I pride myself on being situationally aware: I know when to use a stun to cap the node, how to LoS, etc. In my spare time, I'm reading forums and blogs; basically, always looking for ways to improve. Of course, I could be lying my ass off right now so I'm more than willing to do the probationary option I saw you mentioned in another post. Either way, looking forward to talking to you guys!
