Greetings!
Heres a short version of my application. If there are any additional information you require please feel free to contact me:

-Real Life Info-
01) Real name, age, location/nationality.
Elias, 26 (will be 27 this november), Sweden/Swedish

02) Previous MMO experience.
I started my MMO career with Lineage 2 in may 2003. Prior to that i had the common sense to steer clear from any game that would consume my entire life,but at that point i had no job, no girlfriend and no life so i tried it and was hooked! After that i have been a hardcore MMO gamer until recently (see later posts). Before i fell into the MMO-addiction i played mostly FPS because they were easy to log off from when IRL called (i was in one of the top 3 swedish Day of Defeat clans during the winter of 2001).
When WoW went into open beta i tried it out and have been playing it ever since, meaning im closin in on 2 years of this game now. During this time i have been fortunate enough to have a peek at some other MMOs too, beena beta tester for the Matrix

nline, Dungeons and Dragons:Stormreach and most recently im a beta tester for Archlord. None of these games have been able to overthrow WoW yet, although some exciting titles are closing in (Darkfall, Conan and Warhammer being the top three on my wish-list).

03) Total /played.
Dont know, dont want to know.

-Game info-
04) Previous guild experience, including server and reasons for leaving.
Ah yes. I started this game at the release day together with some old guild mates from Lineage 2 on the Bloodscalp server. Being already organised we leveled quickly and was one of the first guilds to enter Molten Core and the first to down Ragnaros (this was when Ragnaros was considered a "tough guy"

). Just a few weeks after this, Blizzard was launching new servers like crazy, and i left to try the alliance side of the game together with a few IRL friends. We joined the Haomarush server where we ended up in the server "bad boys" (you know these guys that are really good at the game, but total arses without any social skills whatsoever). We played with them through BWL and deep into AQ40 until we could just not take their ignorance anymore. So we left and joined an "up and coming" guild, and with us as raidleaders we were soon counted the 3rd best guild on the server. I really liked this guild, and still visit their forum regularly. After months and months of hardcore raiding (4-6 nights a week) things was really starting to tear on me. Summer was closing in (this was late may), i had gotten a new job, and my girlfriends whine about me spending too much time in front of the computer had resulted in her buying a puppy (i love dogs, so she knew that would get me from the screen).

So it was a sad day in june when i packed my bags and told my guild goodbye after helping them through BWL, AQ40 and also trying the first mobs in Naxx.

Even though i tried, i couldnt quit the game entirely, so i went back to my shaman and started casual-pvping him. Some weeks i didnt play at all, but slowly i rose through the ranks and am currently sitting at rank 10. But i kinda miss the raiding too and even though i dont ever want to go back to the hardcore grind i would love to find myself a guild where i can raid casually and still pvp some and STILL have time left for real life.

05) Current guild, if any.
Im currently in Pwn, a pvp guild. Since its a pvp guild, there wont be any hard feelings if i leave.

06) Do you know how to use Ventrilo and the "Push to Talk" system?
Ofcourse!

07) Do you have any other guild application pending?
Nope, if i cant find a suitable raiding guild id rather stay and just casual PvP until either Burning Crusade hits me like a nuke or another better game comes along.

-Character-
0

Name/Class/lvl/Race
Trukson/Shaman/60/Tauren

09) What do you consider the role of your character in end-game raiding?
Well, healing and putting up totems.

10) Character talent build and gear. Please categorise according to spec and list/link to as required.
Im currently 31 enhancment/20 Elemental and i hope to stay that way.
I got full Champions Battlegear (blue PvP set) plus all the reputation rewards from all battlegrounds except Arathi Basin (give me 4 weeks and i got those too). For PvE gear i have 3/8 Earthfury (Shaman Tier 1) and the Will of Arlokk.

11) MC, Onyxia, Naxx and BWL ready?
You bet!

Anyways im gonna quit rambling on, most of you have probably fallen asleep reading that anyway! Like i said in te beginning please feel free to contact me ingame or via this forum if you have any questions whatsoever!

Cheers
