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. Curently leading The Oda Clan on EQ2.

About time
Nice to see you finally put in an app. Looks good too.
So, I've known Zhouyu - Z - a looong time. About 6 years now. We used to play SWG and EQ2 back in the day, and he's the reason you guys have to twist my arm to get me to do any kind of PvP, lol. He's a very good player, especially as a tank or dps. He's a great PvP'er, and has been leading a successful raid guild in EQ2 for the last two years. Personality-wise, Z can be a bit of an acquired taste - kind of like Tranq, or Relm, or Gnome.
He's vain and likes to act egotistical and arrogant at times (though to be fair he'll probably only act like that with me since he knows he can get away with it) and he has a weird George Michael fetish, but overall he's a good, solid player and can be a pretty cool person to run with. When he said he wanted to play SWTOR I encouraged him to app to our guild, so I'm glad to see he followed through.
"weird George Michael fetish"
Is there such a thing as a NORMAL George Michael fetish?
Oh my...
Zhou is alright. Solid player, and a bit more humble these days it seems. To say he knows his stuff is a bit understated.
Alrighty
Looks good, and I got to talk to some of the other officers and members about your app, so consider yourself approved! Contact me in game and I'll get you an invite.
