Application! (Been looking forward to this ^_^)

[WookE]

.5) AMD Athlon 3000+ XP, 512 MB of DDRRAM, 120 GB HDD, ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB, nForce 2 mobo w/ onboard souncard

1) Duroshar

1.5) I started my current character in late May (believe it was the 23rd or so), but had my account deactivated on June 3rd (reactivated on the night of June 12th). I played L2 lightly (due to school) on previous characters during open beta.

2) Level 40 Plains Walker

3) I now play 15+ hours a day, every day, and I generally have long streaks of time for special occasions (played for 41 consecutive hours when my account was reactivated and 21 hours consecutively to complete my PW quests and reach level 40). Yes, I have no life. I wake up, play Lineage, and eventually go to sleep.

4) I was never involved in any of the "major" MMOs in the past few years (EQ, AC, etc). The only MMORPG I was strongly involved in at all was a strongly European based small-time MMO called Graal. I was fairly well known on the Roleplaying server "Valkorlia" as a newbie helper and defender. At the time, the game had completely open PVP (attack anyone at any given time with no consequences whatsoever) which led to large scale outbreaks in where everyone online would join in a fight at a given location. The game had classes in a similar but much more simplified version of those in Lineage (the basic nuker, tank, ranger, etc) and tactics were often employed in a similar manner for fighting. While I doubt the PVP experience was anything on the level of something such as Shadowbane, from what I've heard, it was impressive and enjoyable for me at the time.

4.5) My single greatest feat in my gaming career, in my opinion, would be my flawless record in console Halo tournaments at local LAN centers (I know, much different from most gamers "greatest feat"). Over the course of about a year I had a record of 28 tournament victories and not even a defeat in a tournament round. Though Halo was certainly not the most popular game around, and thus lacking players craving proper competition, I enjoyed my local "godlike" status nonetheless.

As for team feats in gaming, I was quite the Counter-Strike junkie for years. A few months ago my small time clan (unranked in any CAL league) entered a "pug" (a match run like a standard competetive match that is open to public players) on one team against professional and a few amateur players on the other team. We thought we were outmatched but won on 2 consecutive maps. I was scoring kills on the players that I envied and idolized, and it was quite an enjoyable feat.

I'd say that's about as close as I've gotten to greatness... I don't have quite the extensive gaming resume with CPL events that I imagine some of you have.

5) Briefly.. that may be a challenge. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Well, I see Primez as THE premier clan on Lionna. This is obviously shown by your invite to the test server. Frist (a member of Forsaken, for those of you that don't know him) invited me to go out and raid Orfen with the alliance of Nightfall, Primez, and Forsaken shortly after I had recovered my account and I found that there were many great people onboard Primez. Every time I see a Primez member ingame I politely greet them and attempt to have a conversation, and I'm yet to find a Primez member I don't like. Every time I see the accomplishments of Primez I'm just more and more excited about my opportunity of becoming a new member. I remember when I first saw the Primez emblem come up (I believe you were the 2nd or 3rd clan to reach level 3 without prior knowledge of the game...), I knew that they were ahead and would stay ahead of the standard on Lionna. When I would see players like NintheH around reaching their third class while I was among the newb ranks, I was constantly amazed. What started as respect that I had for Primez has now grown into complete awe for their accomplishments before anyone else. I intend to be one of the greatest players on the server and there's no better way then to have even greater players around you.

As to why you should consider me, I have great dedication to achieving whatever goal is presented. You name the time to reach a goal and I'll do everything within my power to reach it. When I first had my account reactivated and I learned of all the great feats that Primez has achieved, I was sure that I would do everything in my power to level up to 40 merely for the opportunity to apply. I kept leveling until I literally fell asleep at the keyboard (this was after 41 hours, 2 orfen and 1 core raid, and over 4 levels). I know I may be dismissed for my low level, but I am capable of progressing quickly. I have tallied a total of 14 days of work on this character to reach level 40 and become a Plains Walker (I was twinked at level 1 with a comp bow, magic set, and about 100k from my previous playing). If you log in at any time and message me, chances are I'm online and working on getting that new item or reaching the next level. My leveling may be slowed over the next week or so as I need to farm for new C-Grade items, but I assure you I will catch up and surpass the guild's average level within due time. I'm currently behind due to my early time playing L2 being restricted by school and then later having my account inactive, but I will recover the lost time and establish myself as a poweful and valuable guild member, I guarantee you that. The journey is more important then the end, and I want to share mine with your prestigious organization.

6) Alright.. the personal stuff. I'm a high school student (yes, just a wee lad) in Melbourne, Florida currently off on summer break. I hope to be going to the University of Florida with a full scholarship to study... some type of computer science... high school is just time to decide what I want to do. I've been a hardcore gamer for as long as I remember, playing console games at age 3 when I got a Nintendo Entertainment System as a birthday present. Eventually Super Mario turned into Half-Life and StarCraft when I came into the PC gaming world, and I've never let go. I try to be competetive in whatever I do, and I take great pride when I'm capable of undisputably surpassing my peers. My favorite type of sport is auto racing (particularly Formula 1.. Michael Schumacher > * [img]tongue.gif[/img] ). IRL I generally fall under the genre of "the funny guy" in the group, though I have a more serious personality in gaming that is strongly competetive and goal-oriented. I usually like to listen to classic rock (Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc). I like to watch anime like any stereotypical nerd. And uh... I suppose that's it.


I appreciate you taking the time to read my application (and I apologize for the lack of paragraphs) and take me into consideration for membership. Hopefully I'll be proudly bearing the emblem of Primez in the near future. Thank You.

WORD, nice app bro.... but since im just a lil new member [img]smile.gif[/img] ... wait for psymon or MG hehe

[Dragonx]

well it is indeed a great application.
But i fell asleep around at the 75% mark ...
but still great and since you promised so much on your application, there no reason not to recruit you and see if you can prove to us that you indeed will remain as competative as you claimed hehe

but dont push yourself too hard. after about 2 months of hard playing everyone shoudl take a few days off , dont get burnt out its bad for the clan as a whole too.

[Psymon171]

it's a good application even though it was long and you should take a couple days break as mighty said otherwise you will get burnt out and maybe lose interest in L2 forever

you have a lot of potential judging by your application and it would be worth recruiting you so you can prove what you can do for primez

[NintheH]

very nice app will talk to you ingame [img]smile.gif[/img]
