this was all copy/pasted and edited from an application i made to a different guild because i knew it was thorough and complete, and it would take too long to do it all from scratch again.

if there are any errors it's probably from it being copy-pasted then edited.

1.How much time have you spent playing GW? How old is your account /age and which Campaigns do you own?(Screen Shot of your /age in game is a bonus and will help with your application)

i've been consistently playing gw for over 42 months now. i own all campaigns, and the expansion.




2.How often do you play and during what time/days? What is your timezone?

usually after i wake up (during summer 3:00pm-5:00pm, during weekends 10:00am), or after i get home from school (around 4:00-4:30pm). -8 GMT. except for the few days i spend at my dad's house.

3.Which professions do you use and which campaigns have they completed?

I strongly prefer to stick to my ele who has protector for all campaigns, and beat gw:en on NM and HM. but my fem necromancer (my oldest standing character) has beaten all games, and has prot of tyria. i'm willing to use any magic class, as well as derv (though i much prefer my all-magic classes). due to a bad habit i ~HAD~ (deleting any char after not playing it for too long) many of my chars have had to start over. a long time ago i proved to be a very skilled monk, and i'm good at MM.
i certainly don't mind being healer, and i know how most groups are in need of healing, so i want to get my monk back up to speed (but pre-LA prof is so BORING! and i have an inane desire to complete all quests in prof as i see them, adding to the boring side).

edit: i am willing to make any profession that is needed of me, and it shouldn't take me long to get it up to speed

4.Why do you want to join this guild? What do you want to get out of it, and what can you bring to us?

there are so many high-end pve things i want to do but can't as i know very few skilled players to do them with and it's nearly impossible to get a good pug anymore (not as though there were ever seriously reliable). i've never been in a large guild before so i'm curious to see what it is like. as to what i can bring: very active player, skilled in most fields of magical combat, who has achieved the title "guild wars encyclopedia" for his vast knowledge of nearly the entire game (though quite lacking in the area of current meta builds). particularly skilled in most areas of elemental, necromantic, and healing arts (never actually tried protection yet).

Also i desperately want to get all the tormented wepons in my HoM. and the tormented staff i want very badly for my ele.

5.Have you done any of the elite PvE Areas(DoA/UW/FoW/HM Dungeons/Urgoz/Deep)? If yes please state what role you played as in those areas. If no are you willing to work on your characters in order to get to them?

One nearly failed attempt of Lord Jadoth's life, fire nuker. one 3-man trapping run in UW many years ago. A few nearly successful attempts at doing all the quests in UW (due to only being able to get pugs) played various roles. MANY nearly successful attempts at clearing all the quests in FoW (again, pugs) played various roles. cleared frostmaw's burrows on HM a few times right after gw:en came out (as well as scattered other HM dungeons) mostly as a now deleted assassin. 2 successful clears of urgoz NM on a (now deleted, and restarted) spirit wall rit lord. never even been to the deep.

6.What other guilds have you been in? For how long and your reason for leaving.

i recall being in a guild the friend who brought me to GW brought me to, many years ago. can't quite remember the name, though several of my current friends seem to have been in it, they all refer to it as 'The Guild That-Must-Not-Be-Named.' Leaving that for long forgotten reasons i was on my own for quite a while, then the friend who recommended me to gw and some of his friends formed a guild called Koga Mystics [ryu]. i'm very good friends with most of the members, and we've been across many mmos together and several of us have at one time or another been Admins of a public vent server we all use now called Frag Hard (previously it was SQuery Vent). as the guild was only for close friends it grew very slowly, and many of the members have had to stop playing, mostly not 'cause they wanted to (one's computer died, the other got a new job and has been extremely busy ever since). as only 3 out of the whopping 7 of us were still active, we couldn't get anything done.

so i set out to find a new, larger guild, more active guild.

recently joined the Desolation Lords [DL] and got kicked with no warning and no idea why i was kicked.

me and the other 2 active member of the kogas left and formed our own guild, just the 3 of us, Nex Iudicious. we plan to keep that guild up just as our little thing, even if we leave to join other guilds, we'll always keep at least one of us in it to keep it alive.

7.What maxed titles do you have?

1.Protector of Tyria
2.Protector of Cantha
3.Protector of Elona
4.Tyrian Elite Skill Hunter
5.Canthan Elite Skill Hunter
6.Tyrian Elite skill Hunter
7.Guardian of Tyria

i'm very close to maxing (all planed for maxing):

1.Ebon Vanguard
2.Guardian of Cantha
3.Guardian of Elona

i'm planning to max (sorted roughly in the order i will probably get them):

1.Legendary Guardian
2.Tyrian Vanquisher
3.Canthan Vanquisher
4.Elonain Vanquisher
5.Dwarven Rank
6.Asuran Rank
7.Norn Rank
8.Master of the North
9.Cartographer of Tyria
10.Cartographer of Cantha
11.Cartographer of Elona
12.Party Animal
13.Sweet Tooth
14.Maxed Titles

p.s. my usual computer died so i'm using a crappy old laptop for now, but i should be getting a very good computer in a matter of days-weeks. i'm used to running at low fps (things like 7-12 fps was my average when i first started playing GW) so it doesn't bother me, it does mean that i can't do extremely precise things like interupting and infusing, but everything else is fine. and i've noticed the longer i play, the fewer lag spikes i get, so i'd just have to do a few fights against who-knows-what for a few minutes and then i'll be fine.
