Application: Returning Player

Post by Zinogre »

Hi there!

I'm a player who has been gone for... A while.
Specifically, I reactivated near the beginning of April 2018 and FC lists my last registered payment on the account as 2008. Bit of a gap there.

There were a few characters I was known for back in the day, the ones that would perhaps stick out the most are Chanell (Doctor) and Sheryn (Engineer).
Over the last years, the account Sheryn (as well as some lesser alts like Thelana) were on has been lost. I won't bore anybody with details but the account belongs to someone I am not on terms to call up and ask for verification anymore.

Chanell on the other hand was a child of the pre-SL era and is thus thoroughly out of IPRs. I might reactivate her eventually, but for the time I've refocused my efforts.
Specifically, I decided to roll up a soldier and get back in the game as I go forward through the content.
Said soldier, Zinogre, is (as of right now) level 196 and the member of an extremely friendly organization.

Unfortunately however, the organization appears to be a little bit of a poor match for what I personally desire, with them focused heavily on twinking lowbies and PvP, neither of which I am overly fond of.
I would prefer to reach 220 once again and participate in all the wonderful endgame activities AO has to offer.
I've spent many many days getting Otacustes to spawn and missing every shot against Eel, the high level stuff is absolutely where the joy in the game for me lies.

Thus I would like to join the AP family and relive the wonderful days in my favorite mmo.


About me:
  • I'm a born German, although my German is a little rusty and my keyboard doesn't have umlauts.
  • I play primarily during EU and US East hours.
  • I'm a part of a regular D&D group and have been enjoying pen&paper roleplaying since the 80s.
  • I have a great passion for a wide variety of video games, both old and current. My soldier is named after my favorite monster from the Monster Hunter series.
  • I was born in 1982, which I've been told makes me a 'cryptoboomer'. Take that for what you will.
  • Most common nicknames I go by are: Frost, Ruffle(tuft)
Characters:
  • Zinogre, soldier
  • Chanell, doctor
  • Meylinda, metaphysicist
  • Keetiara, trader
  • Sheryn, engineer (lost with the 2nd account)
  • Thelana, shade (lost with the 2nd account)

Both the Code of Conduct and the Chat Recommendations topic have been read and I find myself in complete agreement with the laid out terms.
I look forward to joining a family environment! :)

I will make an effort to join the chat group as soon as I am able.
