[DONE] Application (Champions Online @revolting)

[Revolting]

Good Evening!

The Basics:

31 years old, British, looking for a relaxed, mature, drama-free guild to enjoy Champions Online with.


Current Gaming habits:

• Mostly Playing Champions Online at the moment. I have many characters, having filled up 15 of my 16 slots, and I’m enjoying them all immensely. A couple are already in extremely limited friends/family guilds, while the rest are all looking for a place to call home. Account name: @revolting
• I also play on xbox360, although not as much as I used to since the Champions Beta. Gamertag: Revolting
• My playstation 3 mostly gets used as a bluray player. I’ll more than likely give MAG a whirl when it launches, though. Playstation ID: Revolting

Gaming History:

I’ve been gaming for approximately 25 years, for as long as I’ve been able to push buttons. Started with the rubber-keyed ZX spectrum at the age of 6, long before even tapes became the game storage norm and the Breakout code had to be typed up manually… each time you wanted to play it. Moved on to the more robust and tape-tastic ZX +2, followed by an Amiga which received many years of abuse before starting a long and convoluted chain of PCs starting with a 486 and upgrading every other year for fifteen years or so up to today. During this time I was quite a PC-snob, and completely dismissed the entire console universe, writing them off as childish toys, only to see the light and completely eat my words with the glorious arrival of HDTVs and the 360/PS3. These days my gaming is divided roughly evenly between the trio of the two consoles and the PC, the latter seeing action mostly in the MMO department.

MMO History:
Started playing MMOs a very, very long time ago. Various random MUDs aside, my first proper MMO was Meridian 59, which I played for about a year before getting sucked into the launch of the behemoth Ultima Online. However, my time in Britannia was limited to about a year, at which time I soured to getting constantly murdered and robbed by endless PKers, which put me right off both UO specifically and MMOs in general. Because of this, I completely sidestepped the entire Everquest era, a brief fling with Anarchy Online notwithstanding, and my next visit to MMO land didn’t happen for another five years or so, when EVE Online launched. I played that for a year, and then dropped that in favour of City of Heroes, which I greatly enjoyed, but ultimately it was just a placeholder until the arrival of World of Warcraft on European shores.

World of Warcraft has at different times been many things to me; both the most engrossing and beloved game I have ever experienced, and the most reviled and hated. I played it virtually non-stop for four years, got sucked into a semi-hardcore raiding guild, eventually becoming a high ranking officer and webmaster for three of my four years in the game. However, rather than increasing my love of the game, this actually slowly and bitterly killed it for me, turning it into a second job, bringing with it more stress, pressure and drama than any real job I’ve ever had. Eventually it became too much, completely overshadowing my enjoyment of the game itself, and after much deliberation I just had to bite the bullet and cancel my account.

I loved much if not most of my time in World of Warcraft, but the way I experienced it is the exact polar opposite of what I want from Champions Online. If WoW was my second job, CO will be my retirement home. I’m looking forward to enjoying it in a much more relaxed, casual fashion, just popping on for a few hours here and there after work and on weekends, with no obligations or pressures for it to be any more intense than lighthearted entertainment.

And if I can do that with a bunch of like-minded, mature, l33tness/drama-free adults, so much the better.
