[DONE] Aion application

[Ftumch]

Good evening good people - and welcome to yet another application thread. Yay!

Now this is kinda strange, as I have only ever applied to one guild in an MMO before - which I did as an ABAB rhyming poem (took forever!) - so applying to a yet unreleased game to a guild/legion that doesn't have a server as a character I have yet to create and name is a new experience for me.

I guess that means letting you know about myself, something I tend to keep to myself rather than post online (am I alone here in NOT using Facebook or Twitter?). So what am I willing to divulge, hmm?

Well, I'm 38 year old male, married 15 years and have 3 children aged 8, 6 and 4. I reside in Sydney and work as a Java programmer for a small-ish Sydney based international company. Now I know you don't believe I'm a programmer and dont use Facebook or Twitter - but I hail from a time when the world still rotated without the need for every spotty teenager to sport a cell phone just so they can txt "Where R U?" to their friends who are no more than 10 meters away from them. But I digress...

Why the application? Well I was a long term Wow player. In fact, I lasted 3.5 years and managed to raid during that time fairly regularly while raising a young family. Yes, my wife is a saint. Anyhoo - I am very fond of my main character (Enhancement shaman) but have (finally) grown tired of the game due to not being able to find the time to log on regularly and just the whole humdrum that Wow has become for me. So I started looking elsewhere....

... and that led me to Aion and, in my search for more information, eventually here.

TOG sounds like my kinda thing. Serious enough to want to get things done, mature enough to understand that gaming can't happen 24/7 and casual enough that your focus is on fun rather than e-peen.

As for which class, I'm likely to try a chanter (close to my beloved wow shaman) or the ranger class.

So.... I dont know what happens really from this point, other than I will be checking back on here in the lead up to Aion's release regardless of a successful application or not.

Right. Back to work, then

oh, and "Ftumch" is from that episode of the Young Ones, not some acronym
