Title: AoC Application
Post by: Azzer on 11 May, 2008, 08:00:52 pm
Obviously with Age of Conan not being out yet, there's no formal application thingummy for it, so I'll just steal the WoW one and see what I can put in! I hope it's alright to apply for membership at this stage, even if any potential "trial" membership can't even start for another week yet!

             ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER
Nick: Azzer (although a bug in AoC prevents names starting with 'Azz', so it was 'Azer' in the open beta, I hope they fix it...)
Class:  Demonologist
Level: N/A
Server: Still no server name lists out yet!
Professions: Possibly Alchemy.
/played: All through the open beta

Do you have Teamspeak? (voice communication is essential to our raiding, although it is not necessary to have a mic): Nope but it's easily downloaded & installed!

Age: 25
Country: England

Would you be willing to change your build for the guild? Yes but we don't know much about feat-builds in AoC yet! I'll be going fire-based at first up to 80 - pure DPS.

How often do you play AoC (typical weekly playtime and which hours)?  It'll be lots. I'm self-employed, work from home, and have relaxed hours. I tend to play games a lot day and evening between coding.
Our Raid times are from 20:00 to 0:00 server time with invites starting at 19:30, are you able to be available for the whole duration? Certainly!
Have you been in another guild? Which one(s)?  Nope

IMPORTANT:

Now when you´re done with the "basics", we´re on to what´s important in the application! Here we want you to explain a little about different aspects of your character and the game, so we can ensure you are suitable.

So, write a few sentences about:

Talents: Pure fire, for DPS - true 'glass cannon' I did a fair whack of PVP'ing at the end of the closed beta and while I was quite squishy, given a tank my DPS was awesome. Obviously balance changes will go in during the first months and we'll all find out what's good/bad as people slowly level to 80...

 
Guild: I'm looking for a guild of players that can play seriously when it needs to be done, but who can relax and have fun the rest of the time, and can always have a laugh with eachother - so it does still always feel like gaming rather than a job. I want to join MoX for two reasons - the first is honestly because I want to get in to Age of Conan "properly", from day 1 launch day, and think starting up with a guild of experienced gamers in general is going to be a fantastic way of doing this, and 2 because I was watching a group of players from MoX in the wilderness on the last day of open beta for a while (I was stalking them), liked what I saw (we even battled a little bit in all the crazy PVP fighting going on with it being end of beta), and joined up with them for a while to do some exploring of the zone, a bit of hunting, questing, and chatting. I can't remember everybody's names and I don't know if they are recognisable (ie if they keep the same name) from other games/the forums here, but three names I remember were Claw, Tiksi (who pointed me here when I asked about joining MoX for Age of Conan) and Maisie.

Goals: I plan to play for a long time, and my goals are to enjoy it the whole way through



Additional Information:

Confirmation that you have read, understood and agree to abide by the MoX Charter: I have!

Is there anything else you feel is relevant to your application or that you would like us to know?                                        I've been playing  MMO's (as have a lot of people here it seems, lurking around the forums) since the early days - for me it started with PVP'ing on "Hack & Slash" - a text based game "pre-MUD", played on BBS systems (pre-internet!), and also having multiplayer games of "Gloom" on the Amiga (an FPS like Doom).  I've at least tried out if not played actively in the vast majority of MMO's and  online FPS games that have come out over the past 10 years or so, and even develop games for a living (browser based games - www.bushtarion.com is the core of my business at the moment, and I am busy developing an epic browser based role playing game currently). PVP wise I love fighting other players and don't mind being killed over and over (I don't get stroppy or angry ), but I like to PVP from a "good" side - eg never throw the first punch, help  a stranger out if they are being picked on by gankers, that sort of thing. I have a very sarcastic and dry sense of humour and generally laugh at everything bad or good, don't tend to be very negative. And I can chat the hind legs off a donkey. Hopefully these are positive rather than negative aspects for the sort of members you guys like to have!

Oh and also - if there is going to be the possibility to join up with MoX for Age of Conan, then we (you guys with me listening in!) will need to find out the server names (still not released last I checked), and decide whether we play a "normal" PVP server (which AoC are calling PVE servers - but they aren't, they have whole PVP border kingdoms, sieges, PVP minigames etc.) or a "PVP" server (which is Free for all - anyone can attack anyone, anywhere, anytime - and in the open beta this included zone-killing, res-spot camping/killing etc., you can even attack guild members... the only people you can't attack are group members, and probably raid members but raid groups weren't in in the open beta so couldn't test raids out... basically no rules, no factions, no nothing). Also have to sort out grouping up right from the start to help eachother through the early stages and get questing.

Even if a formal application for MoX can't be decided/accepted for a while until MoX is established in AoC (which I accept!), it'd be nice to group up with some other like-minded players again as I did last night with the MoX open beta players, and get to know some new people in a new game - I don't like to play a new game without knowing anyone in it at all!

That's my waffle over!

Hi Azzer, I was there too yesterday (Bruna).

Thanks for the application (nice & complete so far).
We're currently still discussing the servertype and our stance (pk or anti-pk) for AoC - so most likely we won't be recruiting before we decided on that (should be anytime soon though ), so we can get a confirmation that you can live with the outcome.
Our history was one of anti-pk (so not just killing anyone that sits in your way, but kill the killers, the 'bad' guys - not playing by the rules may result in a guild-kick); so you can already give it a thought if that fits your playstyle or not (from our short conversation last night & your application it looks like it ).

stay tuned!

Hey there nice to see some people already noticing MoX in aoc
I'll be playing (along with about 40 other moxies i believe) so w'll probably accept your trial the day the early access starts.

W'll most certainly have reached an decision about the serverchoice on the 14th or the 15th, still some discusing going on.

Hope to team with you soon!

Hello Azer.

Just seconding what Ilky has written.  I will let you know what decision we reach regarding servertype and ethics (around the 14th/15th) and then you can decide if you still wish to join us.  

If your taking part in Early access from 17th onwards I see no reason as to why we can't start your trial there and then.

Ps. I'm stealing your application as an example to show some of the lazier people that apply to us.

I'm cool with decisions as to whether to be pk or anti-pk, and likewise what type of server (PVP, PVE) - because both server types are PVP really, it's more a choice of "free for all" or, well, not free for all! I'll lurk around and check up on the 15th and 16th or so to find out about the server choice so I know where to make my character - the thing is even if I end up not being able to join, since I know nobody else that plays it makes little difference what server I end up on!

BTW, I'm already half way through downloading the headstart client, well 45% complete now!  Shame it's going to be useless until the 17th

Just to make sure you guys are aware;

http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.ph...546#post2136546 (http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?p=2136546#post2136546)

Server list/server names are up. I guess it's a choice between these;

European English Servers (Early Access 17th of May)


PvE Servers
• Crom
• Dagon
• Ymir
• Bori
• Astoreth

 PvP Servers
 â€¢   Fury
 â€¢   Wildsoul

 RP-PvP Server
 â€¢   Aquilonia

Urr so basically... Fury or Wildsoul.

Wildsoul unless they open more pvp servers , in which case we may change it.

 I shall be there! I guess everybody here will just be doing the solo "story quests" up to about level 20 (I think the quickest way to get to 20 is by doing them, though obviously in the open beta I only got to do it that way to 13...). Any plans in terms of meeting up/grouping up beyond that?

Anyway I'll post again with my name when i'm registered, it'll be "Azzer" if they fixed the bug (preventing any names being made starting with 'Azz', for some unknown reason to anyone), otherwise probably "Azer" and I'll petition a GM to change it manually

If it can be done (moreover if I can remember how I did it  ) I'll be setting up an ingame chat channel until we have the guild formed so we can form groups for non night based stuff.

Solid start, it's been pushed back to 20:00 GMT now, we'll see how much more it gets pushed back. Bets were on on the forums for the last couple of weeks that the headstart would be pushed back a total of three times and start sometime early Sunday morning, let's hope not!

Just wanted to let you all know, the bug with character names beginning with 'Azz' is still in, so my character name (for now if not forever) in AoC is;

Azer

(just the one z!)

Just finished the newbie quest (first 5/6 levels) and am in Tortage now

To be fair the guy has helped out with some pretty crucial stuff in our first weeks in the game, like getting the guild up and running and booking the city, hes also promptly showed up for our first guild event at the weekend...   Hes also got a mature attitude and doesn't behave like a tard!

from the conversations i've been involved in with him, and his attitude that i have seen in the game he is moxie material. only a partial sponsor though due to the fact i have never grouped with him.

Not grouped with him but chatted with him several times and seems like a good a friendly guy.

Has helped the guild out loads with the city progress and always on hand to give advice or answer questions when needed.  Think someone compared him to a AoC Help Bot the other day

Actually what happens is people ask a question, I relay it to Lazarus, he tells me the answer, and then I pass it back so I look all clever. And all the resources/gold for the city I stole from old ladies. Not going to give away my own stash, am I!?!? Should be back and kicking this weekend after a few days of actually working for a change (catching up on all that missed work from my 10 days of non-stop play fest)
