What game are you applying for? (SWTOR Reign *Imperial*, SWTOR Redemption *Republic*, or GW2)

SWTOR Reign "Imperial"



How old are you?

25



What country do you reside in?

United States of America



What name will you use in game? (NOTE: You MUST read and abide by our Character Naming Policy)

Athrogate Da'Gara



What type of character class do you enjoy the most? (Tank, DPS, healer, etc...)

I enjoy a mix of all, right now however i will be going tank i believe.



Which area of MMO gaming do you enjoy the most? (PvP, RP, PvE, etc...)

RP is a huge +++, I enjoy the story elements of PVE but i love the aggression once can get out in PVP



What is your take on "Ganking," "Griefing," "Camping," etc...? We define these activities as follows:

• "Ganking" = Killing a player far below your own level
• "Griefing" = Consistently killing the same lower level player over and over again
• "Camping" = Staying on top of a dead player's body until they respawn only to kill them again and again when they are in a weakened and vulnerable state.

Given the fact that we are on a PVP server, i think these actions are very situational but over all they do degrade the quality in player base. Ganking/Griefing are never good. Camping can have its fun times, but one must know when to call it quits. After all, the republic players spend 15$ a month as well, they should get to play the game, lol.



Tell us about your self briefly and why you want to join REIGN.

Well, i am a long time video game lover and have always loved the Star Wars franchise. I played Galaxies for sometime and have always wanted to get back into a game like this. I played WoW and several other MMO's for a long time and have experience in an MMO community. Im fairly easy to get along with and, as i love RPing i follow orders from higher ups with due diligence. Also, i posted on reddit about my coming back to SWTOR and you guys were recommended as a great guild to join considering all of my toons were on Jung-Ma. Enclosed is a link to said post;

Are there any skills, experience or qualities you possess that could help benefit the guild?

Im fairly organized and have loads of raiding exp in other games. I follow orders and am open to constructive criticism of any sort to help further my own place in a team. Essentially, if im doing something wrong, id love to be told how to fix it, in a nice way mind you, and i will always do my best to ensure i am not weak link.



Where did you hear about REIGN and what attracted you to us?

Reddit is where i heard about you, many people claimed you as a very nice guild. Again, link included;

http://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/comments/ ... _question/



Have you read the Guild Charter?

Yes, in full. The ideals of this guild are just another part of the reason id like to join.



Did you read the Code of Conduct?

Yes i did, and i believe i will have no problems following such code.



Did you read the Activity Policy?

Yes, it will be rather easy to keep up activity on those levels, despite the fact iv never really been much of a forum warrior as you put it, i believe i can go beyond the minimum of a post a week.



Are you willing and able to give us plenty of opportunities to get to know you by being active both here on the forums and in-game over the next couple of weeks?

You betcha, the only thing i will mention is as of July 21st 2012-july 26th 2012 i will be AFK due to my own wedding and subsequent honeymoon.



-----------------------------

The following questions are simply case scenarios in which we can get some insight into how you will play the game. There is no right or wrong answer... just pick the option you would as if you were playing the game.

A guild member says in guild chat that he/she is under attack by an enemy player(s) and is requesting assistance. They keep getting killed over and over again. You are a higher level player than your guildmate and currently in the midst of questing yourself. What do you do?

A.) Finish your quest and then offer to help.
B.) Continue about your business and let your guildmate handle it themselves.
C.) Stop what you are doing and come to your guildmate's aid immediately.

Generally, given the scenario, i would say A, but if my fellow guildy is getting quite fed up and really is in dire straight, i would have no problems taking 10-15 minutes out of my time to help him out. After all, the higher ups need to come to the aid of the lowbies once in a while



You are going about your questing when you come across an enemy player who is much lower level than you. Assuming you are on an open Player-versus-Player server, do you:

A) Leave the player alone and let them go about their business.
B) Kill the player on sight once and then leave them be.
C) Kill the player each and every time you see them until they leave the area or you get bored of it.

Iv noticed, primarily in SWTOR, most people have a live and let live attitude, and i too, believe in that. Only if the lowbie provoked me would i cause him singular harm



One of your fellow guildmates said or did something that offended you in some way. Do you:

A.) Forget about it and not mention anything to anyone.
B.) Talk to a leader about it right away.
C.) Talk directly to the member yourself.

Depending on the severity of the offense i would try to reasonably solve the issue myself as i know the higher ups generally are busy with other, more pressing, issues. If escalation occurred or i was unable to get my own guild mate to back off, then i would bring the matter to the leader.

Welcome Athrogate,

Someone should be along shortly to explain our recruitment process. Feel free to post in threads or jump in mumble. Good luck to you.

*PS. You may be asked to change your forum username to something more similar to your in game character name.*

Ok, sweet. And fair enough. KLH2032 just happens to be my handle about everywhere. But i understand if there is a numerical value you wish to not have present in user names. I look forward to hearing from someone! And iv already posted a few times, just trying to get some familiarity.

Welcome Athrogate Da'Gara,

Always glad to have another SW fan and RP enthusiast among'st us. However i am going to have to try and bring you over to the light side of the force

Thank you for your application! it is my honor to bestow you with the rank of Hopeful. Here you will remain for 14 days while we confer about your application internally. Meanwhile, you have been granted access to the inner sanctum of our forums where you can meet and greet our other members and let us get to know you a little better.

If you have not already done so, your first order of business will be to seek out any of the following individuals in-game in order to be invited to the guild. You WILL need to provide the correct passcode, which can be found here.

Character List of whom can invite you to the guild in-game:

• Antraxx
• Silkk
• Dehli
• Shockum
• Azryal
• Nadira
• Gennie
• Gennye
• Nerro
• Quyl
• Humio
• Bavalia
• Horhey
• Nihilia
• Krioz
• Velox

The *VERY* first thing you should do when you are in-game is add each of these names to your friends list. (Note that due to game mechanics, the person named must be online at the time for them to be successfully added to your friends list, so you may not be able to add everyone above but someone should be on and if not, try again later.) From there, you will be able to see who is online and can reach out to that person for your invite.

REMEMBER YOUR PASSCODE!!!

Some things to point out about the trial process and features of this site:

• The whole purpose of your trial period is to allow us to get to know you and vice-versa. The most effective way we can do so is by your presence in-game AND on these forums. One great way to do this is to post about yourself in our "Introductions" section. We also encourage you just to post and chime in on any the of the many discussions going on here. You don't have to be a forum warrior or be in the game 24/7, but your activity in general will give us the best insight to make a decision on your acceptance.
  
  
• If you scroll to the bottom of the main forums index page, or click the "Chat" button in the top navigation section, you will notice that we offer a real-time chat feature! Many members use this to converse daily. I encourage you to jump in a chat it up whenever you feel like it! This is another great way to get to know everyone and let us get to know you as well.
  
  
• If you are going to be away or unavailable for an amount of time, we ask that you post in the "AFK/Leave/Vacation" section so we know that you will not be around. This is just a courtesy so that we don't think of you as being inactive.
  
  
• During your trial phase, your alts are NOT permitted to join the guild; only your main character. Once accepted as a full member, you are free to enlist your alts.

Thanks and good luck with your Hopeful phase!

Excellent, when i return home later this evening i shall seek out those who can assist me, and together we shall bring the might of the Sith Empire down upon our enemies!

Would you be willing to change your forum name (here at least) to your in game name to Athrogate? It's just so we can keep up with who's who.

To do this click User CP > Profile > Edit Account Settings. Type in that name, and then hit submit.

It is as you wish.
