1. Name: Avalean
2. Whether you wish to be a part of the Adam and Eves (Industrial/Mining) or the Hell's Angels (Military/Fighter Pilot).
I plan to do about as much of everything in the game except perhaps voluntary PVP as possible. I think the added factor in the potential loss of all added equipment on a destroyed ship even with insurance will be a big deterrent to random wide spread PVP. I do still at times plan to try a little honorable style of Umm "privateering". But I am mainly a PVE person. Also sorry to say I am NOT a roleplayer when playing MMOs, did a lot of D&D and such but Rp in an MMO is simply not my style sorry.
3. Any previous experience in flight/space sims.
Too much probably, played all Wing Commander games, Privateer games, Freelancer game and mods for almost 10 plus years, X universe, dark orbit, mech warrior old and new online versions, just to name a few.
4. What your veteran backing/pledge status is and what ships you'll be starting with.
I have two accounts right now this one has a full Cutlass package and is a New backer status.
my second account which IF it works out and I stay here would be moved over as well, contains a Freelancer, Legionnaire Aurora, 325A, 315P, 350R, Cutlass, Retaliator Bomber and one or two more I think which I can not remember at present. All current accounts ships on both accounts also have LTI packages included with them.
5. Please provide at least 200 words telling us about you. We are a group of mature, like-minded individuals who are interested in enjoying our time in game -- we're looking to make sure that your membership with be beneficial to both parties.
Well I am positively over 18, was founder of the freelancer RRJDS guild which ran for close to 10 years, was cofounder of the GITS guild which still is listed for World of tanks and we also had a presence in the beta testing of SWTOR; RIFT; War hammer Online, Hawken, MWO, and Dragons prophet, just to name a few more recent ones.
I am retired Army living in Germany and why I was looking for EU based players since the current guild my main account is on right now promised international players and after joining and asking where they were all at, was told "Well we are mainly a East Coast USA guild but welcome aboard as our newest EU player", yaaa..
But I stayed and tried and still I go into the TS server months later to play with "My Guildies" to see no one is on or gaming until like 11PM my time and to get any classes or OPs I have to usually stay up until 1AM or so.
Mind you I do not mind walking in and helping form a EU base, no problem, but do not tell me tales right off the start simply to get me to join your group as another number in the list please.
Plus once I was in it became more and more clear that their "Chain of command" was more totalitarian in nature in many ways than I liked.
At one point they were even discussing about setting up "Work Schedules" for the members on when they needed to be online to insure full 24/7 game coverage of their assets.
So anyway that is why I am seeking a different guild and why my list of requirements for joining one is so specific at this time. I pay to play a game for stress reduction not amplification. if I wanted more stress in my off time I could discuss bill payments and work chores needed to be done here on the farm, rather than paying hard earned cash for that privilege. LOL.
Anyway please let me know what is decided even if it is a "NO" so I know I can then in good conscience move on and place a new request to a different guild if I am not desired here. I only place one app to any guild at one time, so as a base line that means at this time your guild was my first choice in this new round of searching.
PS I also have a Teamspeak 3 server with a 20 account user limits as possible bleed over and also have Mumble and Ventrillo clients loaded for back up uses as well.
The RRJDS guild had TS as our primary and Vent as secondary then SKYPE as a failsafe.
Many Thanks
Avalean
Hope that covers 200 words, Umm, 1...2..3.......
