Dean Stride here!

First and foremost: Tell us about yourself, as a player:

I'm a casual player, but I've been playing World of Warcraft on and off since 2007, although I haven't played in 3-4 years.

What country do you come from? What is your primary language?:

Bulgaria. Bulgarian.

How did you get into Warcraft?:

Interest from the RTS series and incitement from friends.

How did you find us? Did anything in particular draw you to the server?:

I was looking for a role play server, since I enjoy the lore and the cooperation parts of MMORPGs. A lot of servers I've been to focus more on end-game raiding or PVP, which is not my thing. I love questing, and instances, too, but only for fun, not for items. Far too often do games feel like doing work rather than having fun, because of the endless grinding and the mindless item fetching (be it via raiding, PVPing or otherwise). This server seems to offer just what I want.

What kinds of roleplay do you enjoy?:

Any that involve an adventure. I really have no more details on this bit. The sky's the limit, literally.

What is your favorite race/class? Why?:

I've never played the new (old) Cataclysm races, but I have to say that the Worgen sound interesting from a game mechanics point of view, but also lore-wise; werewolves are always cool! However, my heart belongs to the Horde, so my favourite race would be the Undead. They have such a vibrant history, some of which I still remember from the RTS (e.g. Sylvannas' death and subsequent undeath). The blood elves are a close second.

As for class, I think I already mentioned I favour mages and warlocks best. Out of those two, the warlock would prevail if only because it was my very first class when I started playing.

What are your expectations of this server?:

That it will feel like a game and not like a job.

Out of all of our rules and regulations listed on our server, which appeals to you the most?:

Humility, which works best for me, because I rarely like to be the center of attention. I feel best as a supporting character. For example, a vice-something would be my ideal position.

Did you know that we have a Mentor Program? It's entirely voluntary and you as a new player can sign up for it right now in your introduction! Are you interested in signing up to be assigned a Mentor? If so, say so here (Please enter at least "Yes" or "No"):

Sure, I'd love to. Showing is better than telling, and that goes for gaming as much as it does for creative writing.

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!:

Note: This is part of a piece I wrote several years ago for an RP forum. I've edited it to fit the context of this game.

''A mighty dragon! A truly awesome sight to behold, it was! Nay through the foggiest swamps nor on the highest of peaks, never before had the valiant knight faceth such plight. But upon his honour, he was to uphold his duty and rescue the fair maiden in distress, princess Lillian, whose beauty overshadoweth the glimmer of a thousand stars on a clear night. As it is told, with a buckler and sword in hands, he ventureth off with his trusty steed into the peril-''
''Here's your gum,'' interrupted the storekeeper, ''now get lost, you're holding up the line!''
Setto turned his head back and carefully surveyed his surroundings.
''There's no one here, and I didn't finish my story yet!''
''Setto, why on Earth would you think that I'd want to hear yet another one of your ''Romances of the Valiant Knight'' by John Beggins? God, I even know the damned writer!''
''Well, I-''
''Get the hell outta here!'' yelled the clerk.
''OK, OK!,'' said the young boy and hightailed out of the not so convenient store
''This ended better than I thought. Still, I've got about five hours to kill. Hm, I guess I might pay a visit to the newly opened Stormwind Playacting Association,'' he said to himself, as he took out a small piece of paper.
''It was so nice of that strange girl I've never met before to give me this suspicious map of some questionable location. I never even knew there was such a place in this city!''
Half an hour later, Setto reached a small shady looking building with the sign 'SPA' over the entrance door.
''S-P-A. This must be the place!'' Feeling gitty, he entered the facility. ''Damn, it's kind of hot in here. I wonder why there's nobody on the reception.''
After looking around, the boy spotted another sign with an arrow pointing towards a dark corridor. Underneath the arrow it said 'To the theater. No clothes, please!' with a towel hanging next to the sign.
''No clothes? Oh, I get it, this must be an ancient Night Elf drama! OK, let's get these things off,'' he said, promptly proceeding to remove even his barely noticeable earrings. As he went further into the dim corridor, it began to get hotter and hotter, and by the time he neared the the end of the tunnel, he felt almost out of breath. A few steps more and he would be out of the darkness, yet before he could see anything else...

TBC

Is there anything else you would like to add, ask, or otherwise clarify?:

Nothing comes to mind.

Throm'ka, potential recruit!

You have taken a tremendous step with this submission! You will receive an 'official' response in due time, but meanwhile you may wish to ensure you've reviewed the following:
  • Rules (Remember, ignorance is no excuse in the case of rule-breaking! Don't make the Peon Overseers lash you with the whip any more than necessary!)
  • Policies (There are some policies that may be rather uncommon, so if you have not yet checked them then spare a moment to do so!)

Some extra reading that may be of use:
Soon, you should receive a reply to your submission from one of the Peon Overseers informing you of whether you are a suitable candidate for Peonship. Be patient! Just review the above information and a response will come before you know it! As an aside, I think Peon deanstride has an... er... 'interesting' ring to it, eh?

Hello and welcome to Conquest of the Horde, Dean Stride!

Your avatar is making me all nostalgic. :( I loved that show when I was a kid. Also, great to see you're interested in the mentor program! I'll get you signed up. You should get a PM when a mentor is assigned!

Now, as per standard approval procedure, a couple of notes! Once you've doublechecked all the pages Krotok linked (they're all great sources of information when you're just getting started!), make sure to create an in-game account here (if you haven’t already) using the same information you registered your forum account under.

When you create your account and log onto the server, do not forget to /join Chat, where you can talk with other players and ask questions. We also have a Skype group that I'm sure you'll find useful for finding/planning RP and, well, just talking to people (assuming you have Skype, that is)!

We also have character creation tips here and a lot of various guides in the forum Krotok linked. You may find them useful when working on your first character or profile or just trying to get the feel of the server. This guide is recommended for all new players!

Lastly, feel free to toss me a PM (I swear this is the last link) if you ever have any questions or concerns and I will try my best to respond soon!

And, of course, have fun! ;)
-Dilly
