Application - Valj/Kjoral

Post by Kjoral »

Hello my name is Dave and I would like to join Athen Paladins. I have been playing AO since 2002 with numerous breaks in between.

Short version for reason for joining = returning player looking for a good home.

My time zone is US PST or -8 GMT I am usually online afternoon/evening PST with earlier times on the weekends.

I fully agree to your CoC and Org chat guidelines. I appreciate that this is an important subject for the Org.

List of characters I am spending time on:
if I'm online it should be one of these.

Valj = MP 150/16 neutral
Kjoral = Trader 53/5 neutral

on account no real plans to play
Valcier = keeper 123 neutral
Yandle = MP 170 Omni
Veridion = Adventurer 177 Omni
Rymi= MA 116 neutral
few others under level 50

With that out of the way I will add some back story.

I started AO in 2002. My wife got me into the game and since she was playing Omni that was the direction I went. Initially there was no other reason than Omni shops paid more when you fed them fodder. We had a small org that hovered around 20 active players for awhile. These were the days before the NW expansion. It seemed most people played in those small orgs. As the game expanded and more and more content started requiring larger groups she drifted away from the game and has never returned. I played up until that other game(WoW) showed up and took the bulk of AO. At that point I had an MA and MP both in the 210ish range.

After a couple years there, the newness appeal was gone and I attempted to come back to AO. I struggled with the game then, not knowing anyone, seeing a friends list with over 100 people on it being completely empty for days on end. After a couple months I ended up deleting every toon on the account with the exception of my adventurer with the intention of never coming back.

Since then I have bounced back and forth from console games to AO. I've probably have leveled about 40 toons to the 100-175 range playing mostly solo, and deleting most of them. I've tried a couple different orgs along the way but haven't found the right fit.

I saw that AO had set up the new server. I came back once again and played over there a bit. With the temporary nature of things and it being the base game only I have come back to RK5.

As far as the Clan/OT conflict, I can say that I haven't really been involved in anything concerning the towers. I never found that to be my thing. I have been to Tara but not in 15 years. Back when it was on the 18 hour timer and the whole server would be there.

I'm playing neutral right now because it's so much easier getting around when running around solo. Also, being neutral leaves open the option to join either side when I find the right fit. I realize to keep my interest so I don't leave again, it's best to find a good org to experience the rest of the game and all the TL7 content that's out there.

Hi Kjoral

Welcome to the AP forums and thanks for your interest in AP. Good to see veterans coming back to the game, and thanks for agreeing the CoC.

As a clan org you would need to level clan toons and/or move some of the neuts/ Omnis over - which would be expensive... Not sure how you feel about that, but have noted your comments on pvp. You can have that conversation with one of our generals or officers when you join guest.

The next step is to join our guest channel on our org bot so we can meet/team online. Any AP member can invite you to guest chat. It does not have to be an officer.
You can usually find AP members at the big Vanguards building ramp near OA grid terminal.
If you can’t find a member you can self invite by typing /tell Bobsan !join
This is a temporary invite, so you'll have to do it each time you want to be on guest chat.

Once on guest chat, feel free to ask for an officer and introduce yourself, and also ask for help with any questions you may have about your application.

At some point soon, after you've spent some time with us, an officer will contact you for a brief interview. As our officers can be busy with raids and other duties, it may take a moment to contact you. Always feel free to tell an officer that you are there.

Some of the officers you can contact for help with questions or concerns are:

Bitnykk / Enginyk / Healnyk / Kynecrat GMT +2
Boomer / Bloodstripe / Iwojima / Shelbycobra (General Human Resources) GMT -6
Cherib / Jacythna / Officegrrl GMT +12
Chrisax (President and org Founder) GMT
Codeish / Codemanforce / Shacode GMT+1
Crazi / Crazidoctor / Epok / Hornblower / Stokken (General) GMT +1
Gsxdsm / Oweo / Dbldeez / Evopwned / Skurappy / Anothaone GMT -5
Bonniedoom / Betadoom / Amagosa / Whapperz (General) GMT -5
Falcondoct/ Falconcrat /Falconsold / Falconenf GMT -5
Jetson / Noobasdoc / Noobastank (General) GMT +10
Namisan / Merques / Namizo / Vampyren GMT + 1
Ustarlen (RK5 & RK6)/ Bellorum / Zanda (General) GMT+12
Carequinha /Toughcrat / Toughenf / Reapermann (General) (in memoriam beloved Paladin and Officer)

For time zones referred to above please see:

We look forward to seeing you online
