Personal
Age: 39
Country of Origin: Portugal
Timezone: GMT, erm or UTC as its called now
Occupation: Banking applications analyst/programmer ( yeah i know sounds boring, and it is...)
Availability to play: Well HC raiding hours pretty much match the kind of timing i had on my previous Guilds and tbh its one of the biggest reasons im applying to HC :)

Additional
Why would you like to join The Hidden Circle: Raid hours and Days match my previous guilds schedule, also i know hidden circle since like.. forever, i confess i dont know almost anyone in your guilds roster other then Magebonita from unity channel, seen most of you guyz running around not sure ive grouped with some of you or not, i remember like 4+ years ago my first BRD visit was toured by a old hidden circle member, aeowen, she was a very nice person and i was a noob back then level 56 orso , was my first real experience on a proper wow dungeon....dam was so long ago.

List your previous guilds: Leveled up to 60 in a guild called UK Raiders, remember i was still using trial version when a noob called Galamoth passed by me near stormwind and gave me a few copper bars and asked me if i wanted to join is guild, weve been friends since then and i still remember him teaching me the basics of tanking in those elites in hinterlands when i was like 40, then i remember the sadness when he left UK to join morningstar, also remember to go help him ( basically watch since he didnt need my help at all lol) getting his thunderfury from prince thunderaam, magical times i miss. After i dinged 60 i joined The fallen order where i remained happily until WOTLK, was CC and officer in TFO till the day i left ( never want to be an officer again anymore lol, salute to all that are, its not an easy task), when wotlk was about to launch a big chunck of my friends decided to form a new guild, at the time i was completely thorn between leaving many from TFO and joining many more in KAA, in the end i joined KAA where i remained till 1 week ago when the last of them decided to call it a quits and hand over KAA control to a few new and old members but none of the original ones, they have a montruous task at hand since more then 60% of all raiders left for other guilds or left due to IRL issues, i wish them the best of luck but dont have the strenght to rebuild from zero once more, besides ironically in the end TANKs where the thing we had the most making it easy for me to leave withouth beeing a major loss...

Why are you leaving your previous guild: i already did , basically answered on previous question.
If you recently crossed realmed or changed faction, list your previous character name:
Previous raiding experience: vanilla did full ZG,MC,Onyxia, BWL up to nefarius, also did AQ20 but unfortunatelly never set foot on AQ40 or NAXX, in TBC did kharazan, SSC up to vashj but never killed her, also did lootreaver and the warlock boss wich i dont remember the name :(, never killed alar or kael , killed all bosses in mount hijal except
archimonde, killed magtheridon, gruul, cleared zulaman, never set foot in sunwell and for TBC its about it.

In wotlk cleared Naxx, EOE and OS both in 10 and 25 men, OS only managed to do up to 2 drakes, 3 drakes eluded us during its proper time to be killed. Ulduar 10 and 25 did all bosses except Algalon, many hard modes in 10 men just a couple in 25 men. In Toc we managed to achieve tribute to insanity (10 men heroic) as second in realm only after Nos ( that was our highest point 10 men wise tbh :p ) , cleared TOC 25 and managed the first 2 bosses in TOGC 25, in Icecrown citadel we did the first 4 bosses 25 men wise and up to rotface in 10 men ( me at least ) this was achieved mostly with less then 25 men in raid since our biggest problems started when icecrown citadel was launched. Its a pitty, ive been here in bloodhoof from start and never managed to kill the last boss of any of the chapters but, tbh , every kill was a progression kill for me since i never joined a guild with anything already done ( only had 3 guilds anyways :p ) , if with any luck i manage to join u guyz itll be the first time theres already dead bosses that i never did :p

Please post a screenshot of your UI
Include any other information you feel is relevant: Well, basically i left KAA with no plans in my mind, most of my friends are in Protectorate, some old friends in TFO and many others scattered thru several guilds, it was a sad things to assist to the decline of something that you actively participated since day 1, unfortunatelly RL catched up on some great friends like the GM kenethrios and many others just got burned from the burden of running a guild, impatience from some more hard core members and consequent leaving didnt helped either, it where bad times but at the same time revealing times. In the end i had 4 options ( they where 3 since i didnt knew that HC raided at 21 server time :p) to quit, to join protectorate as social if they accepted me, beeing almost impossible for me to join any raid due to theyr starting time, or change server ( cant see myself on any other server other then bloodhoof, its 4+ years of cyberbonding :( , and the 4th popped up when i asked magebonita your website and was surprised to see that u guyz start raids at 21 GMT( or UCT) :p , ill be 100% honest, im married and have a daughter and a dog, sometimes this things make me not to be a 100% attendence kind of guy but i always warn in advance when i cant join ( unless its something really surprising) and if i sign up i try my best to be on time and ready, i know prot warriors are not by a far stretch the tanking class atm but... its what i love, always been one and will always be until i give up i think.

Tried other MMOS ofc, have a Barb 80 and a TOS 80 on AOC in fury server ( dont play aoc anymore, was more of a social escape that i played almost like a RPG alone upon some sad events on my life, my mother had cancer and died from it, made me isolate myself a bit and AOC was a escape from WOW) also tried AIon, have a templar 37( ofc :p ) and a sorceror level 20 but already canceled subscription since it became a huge grind and i dont have time for it.... so wow is all that is left, oh, im also crazy about car simulators so i have a cockpit and a pc with a wheel just for that , im even a beta tester on the best car sim on earth :p Live for Speed... yes its LIVE for SPEED not need for speed lol... anyway...im an old fart at many of you guyz eyes so i hope there isnt a upper limit on age :P.

Best regards
Lino aka spiderx

Forgot to mention my connection, its a 50Mb/3Mb fiber optics ( yea right ) conn, basically its fiber optics from central to a cell where then they divide signal thru several cables, unfortunatelly it seems my area is oversaturated until march where they will upgrade hardware on the area, what this means is that on some odd nights i may have severe packet loss leading to spikes and therefore high latency, mostly when all is normal i have pings of around 50-100, but when packet loss starts things get ectic..

Thanks

You wrote all that in a hurry? :o To me it seems like you really took your time here mate lol
Your english is better than most btw, so no need to excuse that! Atm i believe we have the tanks needed to do our raids, but i'm not an officer so i dont have the full overview!

anyway, good luck with your app! you seem like a nice guy :)

Hey Spider,

We've had a short chat among the officers, we all think it would be great to have you in the guild. We also acknowledge that we are pretty full on tanks. We have around 5 regular tanks, many of whom have a near flawless attendance over the past couple of years. Usually attendance goes up and down, where one month we might full on dps and the next we're short. This however isn't usually the case with our tanks, although there have been a few times we've been caught short.
Since you're guildless at the moment I can offer you an invite with absolutely no guarantee or any number of 25 man raids. We do usually run 3 or 4 10 man ICC where we're often short tanks and we've been dabbling with the idea of a second 25 man ICC group. You're welcome to stay until you either find another raiding guild who can offer you more regular raiding, or if you decide to to stay that's also fine. Have a think about it Spider and let us know.

Seems fair enough m8, and no i wont use HC as a safe heaven till better pastures pop up, when i mentioned my 3 other options i was beeing completely honest about it. I was MT in all guilds i passed by and tbh do not mind to sit back a bit and relax and help out if need be when need be.

Best Regards
Lino
