Q: What brought you to our website? A: Recruitment post on GW2Guru Q: This recruitment process requires that we get to know you a little bit. Please tell us a little about yourself. A: I am in my 30's and have been on a break from gaming for a couple of years spending time raising my son. Now he is a little more independent, the wife has gone back to work and I find myself with free time. No coincidence that Guild Wars 2 is nearing it actual release. My first MMO was the original Guild Wars....I have been through a few others since (LOTRO, Eve, Aion) but none of those provided me with as much fun as GW. Now I have my CE pre-purchase key registered and am looking to hit the ground running. Q: We have found that guild members have a better gaming experience if they use the forums and the events calender. This allows you to get game information and join guildies in events as your real life time permits. Do you intend on being active on our website forums and events calendar? A: Yes...I feel the same way. Q: Once you learn how, we would like you to create events or RSVP for other scheduled events as your real life schedule permits. What are your thoughts on this? A: Can't wait to organize events...as many as real life allows Q: Have you been playing MMO's for a while, or are you just getting started? A: Since the original GW Q: We expect all members to submit and update their characters in our Guild Wars 2 sub-forum. Are you okay with this? After reading the above content, why do you think it might be important? A: We are able to have multiple toons in GW2 so having a list handy will help link people to toons when signing up for events. Q: What kind of character do you typically play? Tell us about your main character you envision, and please list any alts that you know you will be bringing into the guild as well. A: I typically play some kind of caster who like to deal out spike damage. I will also be creating a support caster and a warrior. Q: What type of playstyle do you enjoy the most? A: I like playing in organized groups with a leader who knows how to strategize. Q: If you violate any rules defined within the gaming EULA, you will face disciplinary action up to and including removal from this community. Do you understand, and agree with this rule? A: Yes Q: What time of day do you typically play? How often? A: After 8 PM US Eastern on weekdays for about and hour and a half and whenever I can on weekends. I play as often as I can without hearing about it from the boss i.e. wife Q: Are you affiliated with any other guilds? A: No Q: How do you think you can best help this community? How can this community best help you? A: I can help make this a great community by being active in and outside of the game. The community can help me by understanding that real life > game but that I am doing what I can to be active and take part in all events. Q: OSD is generally a "casual, do it all" guild, meaning we welcome players from all playstyles and don't limit our focus to one playstyle in particular. We welcome PvPers, PvEers, Roleplayers, Crafters, etc. For example, while we may offer weekly raids, we are not a hardcore raiding guild that requires you to raid 5 or 6 nights a week. We also do not consider any one playstyle to be more important than another, all members of OSD are equal. For example, a hardcore PvPer will never be considered "more valuable" to the guild than a casual Roleplayer would be. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic? A: Sounds good...I feel its fair and look forward to seeing this philosophy in practice. Q: With the previous question in mind...We will never force you to participate in any activity or event that falls outside your playstyle of choice. However, from time to time you may be asked to help the guild out if we are short a particular class, or just need to fill up an empty group spot. Are you okay with this? Any additional thoughts on this topic? A: I am ok with this....I am actually interested in experiencing all facets of GW2. Q: What previous experience, if any, do you have with the original Guild Wars? A: I played all of them...mainly with a Necro who had a handful of item in the Hall of Monuments.
Isn't that the truth!? Luckily I have a wife that likes mmorpgs and enjoys playing them with me. It took years...it was not an easy process. Anyway, thank you for checking us out and taking the time to apply. We're a great community here at OSD and judging by your application, I think you'll fit in quite nicely. I'm going to go check your permissions and if everything checks out, I'll be welcoming you as a Dragon soon.
Alright, I've approved your citizen permission also. Welcome to OSD! I think you'll fit in very nicely here.
