First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:
I'm an easygoing guy, I play for fun, and I'm quite fond of immersive experiences.
What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:
I'm from Norway, with Norwegian being the primary language.
How did you get into Warcraft?:
Well, I heard about it a bit before the release, but I didn't play it before 1.9 or somewhere close to that. My first introduction to the Warcraft universe was playing WC3 at a LAN with my school mates.
What made you seek our server over others? (Or how did you find us?):
Well, I've heard a lot about this server from Graros and Kreah, all of it being good stories, so I wanted to experience it myself!
What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:
First and foremost, small, short experiences, fleshing out the daily life of my characters. I also enjoy long stories with overarcing storylines, especially spanning several events, months or even years time-wise.
What is your favorite race/class? Why?:
My favorite race and class would be Undead, and Rogue. Undead is my preferred race, due to the fact you have a whole lot of options open to you. You can decide a lot of stuff, either going for the "easy" solution, where death comes with amnesia, and you get to choose any path you want from there, letting every interaction create the framework of your character, or you can have memories, leading to the possibility of using undeath to sort out problems you had in life, or simply just spending an eternity researching your favorite subject.
The reason for rogue being my favorite class is the amount of tools you get for roleplaying. Everything from stealth, to sprint, vanish.. Tools that really help when roleplaying on retail, considering the immersion really is slightly limited. (most of my roleplaying experiences are in a MUD called Achaea, where everything is in plain text, which for some reason gives me a much more versatile experience than graphics ever will be able to. Think "interactive book".)
What are your expectations of this server?:
I expect to meet people that enjoy roleplaying, without having to deal with the "LOL IDC 'BOUT UR RP, SERVER BEST PVP WARR, U MAD?!!1" people in between. In general, a much more immersive experience than retail can provide.
Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:
I'd probably say the "Keyboard skills" one, mainly because nothing ruins my immersion more than "I seks u an u liek it xD", or simply just "How can I help u?" Also the one related to knowing a bit of history is good, so there's nobody going around claiming stupid stuff which is contradictory to what the lore states.
Lastly, tell us a story! It can be short, it can be long; but most importantly, we want to see your work in action. Go!:
The characteristic sounds of glass clinking sweeps through the main room of the inn in Brill. By the fireplace, two undead, recently risen, appear to be arguing over something.
"Listen, Jonah. I'm -clearly- more experienced with swords than you are, why should you get to keep this blade?"
"It's not about skill, but innovation! Properly used, a sword isn't just a weapon, but an extension of the users body!"
"That's the exact same thing you told me last week, when we found the dagger. Care to remind me what happened to it?"
The undead smirks. His body is clad in plate armor, and leaning towards the wall next to him is his rather rusty two-handed sword. His messy hair is clearly cut using a blade of similar sharpness. Bluntness would probably be the approperiate word.
"I treasured it. I would've still been using it, if it wasn't for those damned Scarlet Monks."
The other one, named Jonah, has a frail body, even for an undead. His left eye is missing, along with a finger on his left hand. His body is clad in leather armor, suggesting he prefers flexibility over protection, unlike his friend. Strands of long, white hairs, reminiscent of spider webs, partly covers the socket where his missing eye would be.
"This isn't the first time you've underestimated them. Considering the missing finger on your left hand, your grip is a bit weaker than most others. No wonder they prefer disarming you."
"Oh, and I suppose the next part of this lecture is you telling me I should change my suit of armor to plate, so I can waddle around looking as stupid as you."
The undead sighs. The sound is heavy, rattling. A breeze fills the room briefly, before the sound of the kitchen window slamming shut is heard, and the wind subsides.
"Fine then, take the sword. Keep in mind though, next time we come across a weapon that's sharper than a table spoon, I get it."
"Of course."
Jonah replies, grinning slyly.
"Of course.."
Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:
Not really, no. Looking forward to your reply!
