Guild Introduction: Caladorean

1. What games are you looking to join us in?

At the moment, I am only interested in joining the WoW community within your guild as I have planned to delve into Star Wars MMO with some Alliance friends

2. Do you have characters on our servers already? If so list the ones you have which you plan to guild.

Name: Caladorean
Class: Warlock
Level: 85
Primary Spec: Destruction
Off-spec: Ive been debating which would be a valid companion. Aff and Demo both have their uses but are completely different in some aspects as compared to destruction via gems,chants, reforging etc...

Tell us about your gaming history...

3. What previous and current MMO's have you/do you play?

WoW is the first MMO I have played although I have enjoyed strategy/fantasy games since Axis and Allies was introduced to me in the late 70's

4. Describe what makes a good gamer, in your opinion:

Real life can be a hassle, stressfull and alittle complicated. Playing a game shouldnt be. Most games have a loading screen or portal of some sort to enter the game coming. Real life issues should never be allowed to port into the game with ther player.

5. On a scale of 1 to 10 tell us how good a gamer are you, and why?

Seven, give or take. Ive been fortunate to have traveled around the globe now and then thanks on part to our foreign policy and the United States Army. Wow is an escape of some sort to a chaotic calmness that I find pleasing and entertaining...Why should I should allow anything like real life to disrupt that?

6. Have you been in any other guilds on servers which we play on? How about in other games or on other servers? Which? Why did you, or why are you leaving them? Basically we're looking for a basic history that you've had with guilds previously.

I have been in three Guilds on this server. Eternus (alliance) which morphed/joined together with The Senate Altius I have Caladoreane (prot pally 85) and Caleiph (resto shaman74) in that guild as that was my first Guild I joined several years ago. I also have two rogues, lvls 7 and 8 each having their own guild as my bank toons. I had a summer stint with Heaven and Earth on their second raid team. On the Horde, I am currently in ' The Hollowed Arcana ' and have the following characters; Calaco (85 resto druid), Calaypso (85arcane mage), Calatorean(73 prot pally) and Caladorean(warlock85)

I am interested in your guild for my warlock as their are no opportunities to raid with him. The warlock is my first toon and I miss raiding with him immensely. I have talked to my Guild leader before I wrote this application to express my views and let her know. She has no problem with my decision ( Andromada if you would like to clearify any questions)

7. What do you like to do with your time in WOW or SWTOR?

I enjoy the different aspects I can discover within the game. Leveling a toon with all sounds turned on so you can really feel the enviroment. To actually read a quest and get into the storyline is something I recently began to enjoy. I leveled another warlock to 67 on the horde side to see the different quests in Kalimdor from a goblin's aspect ( I deleted said toon a few days ago) I also enjoy end game content as it has the 'new car smell ' feel to it.

Talk to us about Natural Order...

8. How did you hear about Natural Order?

I was searching for another home for my warlock on the Farstriders forumn and say your recuitment thread

9. Is there a current member of Natural Order who could reference you in a good or bad way? (Who?)

No there is not

10. Have you read all of the posts in the About Natural Order section of the forum? (this is very important to us)

Yes I have

11. What are your expectations? What do you think you will gain from joining Natural Order, and why are you applying?

Another branch for my Wow family-tree

12. What do you think you can bring to the guild? Why are we going to be happy you joined us?

A jovial sort-of-fellow whose best aspect is that he is married to the better half and maybe a spot now and then for a range dps on raid nights

13. Are you interested in "end game activities" with us in any of the games we play (such as 25 man raiding in WOW)? What days are you available for these sorts of activities (generally between 9pm and 12pm Eastern Standard Time)?

I have been retired medically this past winter from the Army ( back injury from a deployment) and I have all the time in the world...oh, the wife wants me to mention that it really shouldnt interfere with me cooking her dinner ( 5:30pm EST )

14. If you are interested in raiding with us in WoW, are you willing to build a secondary set on this character, and respec as necessary (generally to dps) if the raid needs it, without bitching excessively?

The question seems to be in regards to tank or heal characters but if someone thinks that demo is better for said fight, then I dont mind

Tell us about you...

15. Do you meet our age requirement?

Yes I do

16. How old are you, if you don't mind us asking?

42
