If you violate any of these rules you jeopardize the reputation of our community and will face disciplinary action up to, and including, removal from this community. Do you understand, and agree with this rule? (Yes / No) Question Category - The GAMES I Like! Q 1: Which game(s) are you currently interested in playing with us? A: I am currently interested in playing Final Fantasy XIV Q 2: Do you currently have characters playing in game? If so, What is the name of your in game character and what server are they on? A: Yes, I have a character that I am playing. Her name is Jada Brylar and I have recently moved her to the Diabolos server. Q 3: Guilds can serve many roles, and as with most things, expectations matter. In order to get a better feel for whether this is a good fit, we would like to know what you look for in a guild. A: I am looking for companionship and laughs. I play MMO's to play with others and finding a group of casual, friendly people to play with is my goal. Q 4: When and How often do you usually play? This is so we know when to look for you in game and get you in the Guild. (Please add your time zone in the answer) A: I normally play for a while in the late afternoon, early evening, Pacific time. Weekends are hit and miss, depending on what is happening in real life.4 Q 5: Tell us a little about your experience with MMOs. Which MMOs have you played and how long have you played them? Please share one of your favorite memories in a MMO you have played. A: I have been playing MMO's since Ultima Online in the mid 1990's. I have played many, including Everquest, Asheron's Call, Dark Age of Camelot, WoW, Aion, Tera and now FFXIV. Out of these my favorite was probably Dark Age of Camelot. I fondly remember learning to do realm vs realm sieges and having the opportunity to craft the siege works. There I learned to love crafting. Q 6: What is the best game you have ever played and why? A: I'm not sure there was a best. They have each offered deeper experiences as the technology has advanced. I find FFXIV to be very deep in story and plenty to keep one occupied. It doesn't become boring. Q 7: Are there any upcoming games you're interested in playing? A: I am looking forward and am a contributor to Camelot Unchained. I loved DAoC and can't wait to see what they come up with. Question Category - Community OSD is a group of folks that has gamed together for more than ten years, many of us consider this group as extended family. The following questions help us to understand who YOU are as a person, not just a gamer. As we are more than just a gaming community we like to get to know a little about the folks that want to be part of it. Q 8: OSD advertises on various gaming websites, Facebook, Twitter, and in the games that we are playing. The following questions will help us know what formats are working and where we can improve. Who or What brought you to our Gates? A: I saw a recruitment thread on the FFXIV forums. Q 9: There are many ways to engage and get the full guild experience with OSD. How often do you see yourself using the Forums / Discord rather than in-game to interact with the community? A: I love reading forums and will post when I have something to contribute. I have used Discord in the past and will use it again. Q 10: Please tell us a little about yourself. No need to be too explicit. We don’t need your home address or shoe size. Let us know about your hobbies if you have them. Do you have family? Pets? Work? Do you plan to conquer the world by using Lucky Rabbit’s feet or some other crazy idea? (This is probably one of the biggest questions on this application as it lets you tell us about you.) A: I am a wife and mother. I work full time. We have 3 golden retrievers, which you will meet when I am on Discord. They get noisy. I love games in all fashions, not just online games. My family has family game night once a month to play board games. We even have a plaque that lists each month's winners. We are slightly obsessed. I also like to read, cook and bake, garden, travel, hike and camp. My husband has rubbed off on me and I have a fairly well developed, warped sense of humor, so I find that I make off the wall comments that I must apologize for. I love to laugh and have fun. I am outgoing and friendly. I am not the world's greatest gamer, but I do enjoy playing and will always try to improve. Q 11: Is bacon awesome? What form does bacon manifest in your dreams? A: Bacon is the food of the gods. I appreciate it in it's most pure form. Thick sliced and crisp, while still warm. ~~~~~ Thank you for taking the time to fill out the application. We know for some game time is limited and application answers are the last thing on your mind. However, this process is something we hold dear and feel it is the best way to get to know someone that isn’t part of the community yet. Once you have posted the answers in the Silver Gates someone will be along to say hello shortly. Be patient as those inside are gamers as well. Have a great day!
Welcome to the Gates, Maedra! An officer from XIV will be along shortly to view your app. @Doctorhoo @Flash
Welcome Maedra! I understand how noisy fur-babies can get which is why I've always been a fan of push to talk. Not so much for the noise they may make, but to save sensitive ears on the other end from my responses to them at times. We have owned up to six siberian huskies at one time, in the house. Currently we have our last husky, he will be 15 in spring. We also have a hybrid wolf and a german shepard.
I'm beginning to wonder if anyone will be along shortly? Is it usually this slow a process to get into the FC?
My name in game is Flash Reaper, I can get you in and so can Caer Sing, Tanis Batouse, Katya Threadbare, Doctor Hoo, Andrameda Hoo, Valkyria Swiftwind, Yurei Kuchiki Find anyone one of us or bust our fc house in the mist ward 1 plot 15. We'll be sure to get you in. And again sorry I been busy
Again sorry, for my tardy response. Real life got a hold of me this week with my 3 kids, wife, and big changes at work. Very sorry and I apologize whole hardheartedly, certainly not a normal week for me. I did put in for approval for your application. I think you will certainly like my animal loving wife Andrameda who's in the FC as well. We have 3 dogs - husky, gordon setter, and hound mix along with 2 ragdolls and tabby cat. We are planning on having a FC meeting this month, after i talk to 2 people, then finalize the date with a Dungeon Event afterwards with prizes. Once you get approved feel free to check out this link for new recruits. I haven't had time to get online since the reset, have you gotten in the FC yet? Doc
I have no w gotten in and no need for the apologies. Real life always comes first! Thanks for the responses.
Maedra great to have you with us! TY Flash! I've been doing my hardest to NOT start FFXV too heavily until I get my all my therapy licensing CEUs finished. All I can say about FFXV so far, only very lightly in, is OMG WOW. Very Sharp! I believe its good enough to have that that FFVII effect on casual people and pull them in. I think we have at least half a dozen FC people playing it atm as well. I'm hoping to get my dailies/weeklies in on FFXIV this weekend. Ok back to my online class. Doc
