Gordesh Application

[Gordesh]

Hi there, long time MMO player, recent player of AO.

My MMO history began with WoW, and I still presently play FFXIV, and have done some raiding in both.

Your Code of Conduct both makes sense, and is somewhat how I conduct myself anyway. Though I can be a bit quiet.

My Timezone is US MDT as it's summer, or -6 GMT, but will shift to MST or -7 GMT in the winter. I tend to play evenings, but sometimes mornings if I have a day off and not too many errands.

My partner is very attached to this game, and we play together fairly often, though we're a bit slow. I'm looking at possibly joining Athens Paladins because I see you around, and I'm looking to join a prominent and active Clan-side Clan.

I have a few characters, but Gordesh is my solo one at the moment. I'm not looking for much besides maybe information, and occasional dungeon buds, if someone cares to. Gordesh is an MA, and is level 64 at the moment I'm really enjoying how MA works. Seeing as I just got ganked walking into a dungeon by a multiboxer, it would be fun to call in the Cavalry now and then, assuming folks are on, and in the mood.

My Metaphysicist is my only other notable character. Neratas, who is 70-something. He is also Clan side. Everything else is 20 or under. I wanted to test a few professions.

I am quite enjoying the jank and customization that AO offers, and graphics, while lovely, don't make all(or if we're honest, even most) of a game. I don't think I'll be super hardcore in terms of being on all the time, but I will likewise be glad to help out with anything as my knowledge and ability expands. Love playing every role in FFXIV, and being able to fill in for friends, or help show folks how a boss works so we can beat it.

Anyhow, hope to join ya. Thanks!

Welcome Gordesh. It's great to see a real new AO player!

We welcome all styles of gameplay and it's totally fine if you play "slow" (your word ).

We are happy to help new players, people leveling up for the first time, discovering the game, etc. Please, always feel free to ask for info, advice or help. It's what we do. If you don't get an immediate answer in-game, just post on forums or Discord so more APs see the message over a short time.

So, now, let's meet online... and thank your for already agreeing with our Code of Conduct. Here are the last moves for joining AP:

  These are temporary invites: do it again each time you want to be on guest chat.
  
  Once on guest chat, feel free to introduce yourself and ask for an officer. Also ask for help with any questions you may have about your application.
  
  At some point, an officer will contact you for a brief interview.

3. FIND AN OFFICER TO TALK TO

• Help, questions, concerns, interview… Officers are here for you.
  
  Once you are on our Guest channel (see #2 above), do !online in chat to see who is online and to find any of the officers listed below.
  OR
  You can directly see if a specific officer is online and on what alt, by using the command !is in chat, like for example, !is Reyz will return the character(s) Reyz is online with.

    Enter here with friendship.

I appear to have been added to the Private Chat, but I confess I have literally no idea what the syntax is to interact with it.

If you are on our guest channel in Bobsan, just select Bobsan in "talk to private group" and type. It's all.
