Personal information
Hi there!
My name is Per, and I'm 22 years old. I live in Umeå, Sweden, and I am studying law and hoping to become a lawyer or something. I will start studying again this autumn, after the summer break. During my freetime I like to play games, especially Blizzard games.
In my previous guilds, we have raided mon-thur 19:00-23:30+ and sun 14:00-23:30+ and numerous hours of farming during daytime. Depending on studies and homework, I think my available playtime will fit the Iron Edge schedule. I might however have to take a few days off before exams to study etc.
WOW History
I have played wow since US beta. Once wow went live in US, me and some friends (Brother to name one of them) started playing on the server Gorefiend, and ended up in Sinister (www.afraidyet.net) and played with them until EU went live. Sadly we left Sinister for EU-version the same day we were to set our first feet into Molten Core, so I felt I missed out on some early experience. That's not something I regret though, as playing on US was very demanding - raid times could be around 01-05 in the morning.
When me and my friends (from Sinister) came to EU live, we started up the guild Ravenous (www.ravenoushorde.ath.cx) on Dunemaul, and we became quite successful, being the lead guild on the server up until Ragnaros. Once we got to Ragnaros, we got beaten by another rivaling horde-guild - A Few Good Men.
As we started doing BWL, we ran into some serious internal issues that had been underlying for a very long time, and it lead to many people leaving the guild to join A Few Good Men - including me. During AQ, we (AFGM) decided to mass-migrate to Tarren Mill, as Dunemaul became unbarably laggy.
A Few Good Men (www.afgm-wow.com) has been the guild that I've played with up until very recently, and is the guild I refer to as my "homeguild". We have successfully cleared BWL, AQ, done Naxxramas up to Kel'Thuzard (30%, we stopped due to christmas holidays and upcoming TBC).
When TBC came, we had major revamps to the guild, as the guildleader had to leave for studies and various people decided to quit the game. We started recruiting alot, but as Tarren Mill is not a server full of good players, we had to rely on cross-realm applications, which we didn't get too many of. We managed to clear Gruul, Magtheridon, Karazhan, and did Hydross in SSC. Also did 2-3 tries on Morogrim.
I have been the rogue-leader in AFGM since the beginning basically, and I have also helped out in the administration of the guild, and recently got appointed Officer and co-leader of the guild. I have also been in charge of recruiting since TBC came. After immense struggle to get new capable members to fill the roster, I "had enough", which means I was on the brink of burning out from the game.
That lead to me saying goodbye to many old friends on Tarren Mill, and try my luck on Kazzak, where my character currently resides. Once on Kazzak I got in to Showdown (http://showdown.cr0w.net) as a trial for 2 weeks, and it all went well. However, the immense farming needed in those days (expensive flasks etc) lead me to realise I wanted to change environment. I decided to put WOW on the shelf and take some time off. Apparently what I needed was not to leave AFGM, but leave the game alltogether for a while.
I have not raided since the day I quit Showdown - on my own request - and during this free-time I have been socializing and focusing on studies and various activities, such as tennis. I have now reached a point where I feel the urge to play WOW again, and I feel that it will be alot better if I "go back to the roots" so to speak, Dunemaul. I am also looking for a bit more "relaxed" way of raiding, meaning not having to farm 100's of terocone each day. But this has luckily been fixed by Blizzard's alchemy revamp. I also have quite a few friends on Dunemaul which makes the move more interesting.
Outside of wow I study as mentioned, but I also do alot of movies. I really enjoy making movies of wow, and I've made quite a few with AFGM. I've made a BWL and an AQ cinematic movie, and as of late I'm making in-game movies, showing when I play vs various bosses.

Last Words
The reason I am applying to you is because I want back to raiding, and I am hoping to be able to do so at a little less "hardcore" way. Even though I say less hardcore, I don't mean in any way that I will play less serious, it just means fewer hours (outside of raids). I will always play at my best.
I want to join Iron Edge because I believe you have the community, will, and strength to keep raiding at the level I'm looking for.
Currently I am visiting my parents in Luleå during summer holidays, meaning not as much play during daytime as I'm used to, which means that I might have problems keeping 100% raiding in the start. Once I get home to Umeå in august it will be game-on once again!
I consider myself motivated, dedicated, and active. I also take an active part in problem-solving during raids, which I see as a must if you are going to succeed as a guild. I also want to be a part of the community that is Iron Edge.
If there is anything you would like to ask me, I will mainly be active on the forums, so a PM would be the best way to contact me. I also have MSN which I try to use (pw84@hotmail.com).
I hope this application is satisfying and provides you with the information you need. I really hope you consider me and my application valid, and I wish you the best of luck.
NOTE: My character is locked to Kazzak until July 13th, so there will be room for thought and conversations. Feel free to contact me.
NOTE 2: My current gear is a bit outdated I guess, but I will work to get some upgrades as soon as possible. And don't laugh at my gloves/belt. Still haven't seen A SINGLE belt or gloves drop in TBC, that are better than tier 3. Luck ftw.
Regards,
Devlin, Rogue

forgot to add:
im not attuned to BT yet, as i took a break before it was released, and therefore couldnt do the prequests. need to talk to some npc in ssc.
-
Hehe WB Devlin i guess and nice seeing you again!
Very nice application and very well written and hopefully our future applicants will take this as an example of how to make one!
Anyways, guess many of the old school players here in IE including me know who you are and the dedication you put into raiding and many of us have even seen many or at least some of the movies you have made so far.
You deffo got my vote and nice seeing you again!
P.s. You know if anyone else are migrating back or are many of them staying in Huhu. on TM ?
-
As noble said most of us, 2y.o. Dunemaulers know u by awesome movies mainly from AFGM raids. Being class leader in such a guild is answer to any doubts (skillwise) and as much as I recall we are seaking for active rogue raider. Though I don't know u I am familiar with your reputation as a player so I give my vote and recomendation to Aleandro to trial you. Good luck.

-

-
Nice app. Gl!
-
Great application, Devlin.
As has already been mentioned, it'll be nice to have another old-school Dunemauler around the place.
Adds just a touch of class to things.
I'm not sure how much raid time you will get, but that's something I hope you've talked to Aleandro about.
G'luck!
-
Devlin!
GET HIM NOW! :)
RL friend of mine and a really great guy, not a lootwhore nor selfish. He's just a plain easy and great guy to play with. He would fit in well in the IE crew I'm sure.
-
Heya Devlin, nice to see you wanna come back. All I can say is GIVE! :D
-
Dear god its Devlin. I enjoyed all your movies and my brother is always like; 'damn Devlin got a really good taste of music' and all I can say, I agree with him.
Ill wish you the best luck

I've seen most of his films so I'm in no doubt of his skills...two thumbs up here!
-
Release the hounds!
-
Great application. Like your movies :)
-
Would that mean I dont have to join AFGM to fulfill my dream anymore?
All the legends are coming into IE
*tears*
-
Very nice application indeed and very well detailed. Nice to see you wanna come back to dunemaul again home is home i guess. Really sad to see AFGM dissband in the first place was one of the guild i really look up to. I hope you will come back here and see that Iron Edge is the kinda guild you would like to be in it has been my home sense "Dark Horizons" Dissbanded and i really feel home here now.
I was also migrated for a while went to Ravenholdt to get some enviourment changes i got bored after TBC came and IE was kinda filled up with rogues at that state so i started playing my priest on Ravenhold again "Zakuak" well well enough said i really hope you come back and join us in our "Epic Adventure".

Nice guy and a awesome addition imo :)
Good luck
-
i really appreciate all the kind words, thanks all! :)
EDIT: btw, is there anything specific you want me to look up before migrating? i have looked into the upcoming fights as much as possible, but is there anything else you want me to do?
-
I've just matched your saphiron movie again!! you is noob you died!!! 8)
jk.. I think you should read all TK and SSC guides, perhaps watch videos but how should i know because i r casual so i tihnk delling/any other CL should tell you!
-
You should really stop spamming posts, Bombardi, if you have nothing useful to say.
You don't even get post counts on the recruitment forum. So, please, stop with the useless shit :)
Devlin - I guess by the time you migrate here we will be working on Kael'thas. You'll want to read up on Lady Vashj too I guess, as she's fairly complex.
The rest are pretty easy going!
-
ive done vashj down to around 25-30%, so i know that fight fairly well. done alar to p2 aswell. though they mightve changed something, ill look up all fights in ssc, tk, bt, and hyjal... so i got something to do while waiting :p
-
What did u do on Vashj? We don't use the 'standard' tactic from some months ago.
-
we were still refining the strats, but we used 4 dps "groups" consisting of 2 ppl in each corner, and when the ones that drop the cores (dont remember their name) spawned we set up a throwing "team" to score! at first we didnt know wtf those things were, but we learned that they could be thrown :D was alot of fun. tried using the dps ppl (the 2 in each corner) to pass the core between each other, and that worked fairly ok. we messed around alot with those cores to try and get the best working strat, but didnt get much further than this. we got out of p2 a few times, but it was wipe most of the time, due to those damn mind controlling bitches.
other than that i (rogues) did not dps the big guys, and on phase 1 we just dps'd vashj to the max as normal.
-
Let's not give away all of our imba strategies yet, Daekesh :P
-
I was just asking.
And, no, that isn't the strat we use :P
-
We had trialist here on our first Vashj kill so it won't be issue. Reading BT stuff right now is more of a fun read rather then must, most of tactics that we use are from www.bosskillers.com and then tuned by CLs to fit our raiding machinery. U will get a hang of it, I am sure. ::)
-
Guess ppl are getting very excited already!
Guess you could watch some movies and read some strats etc as has been stated here above but there is one thing you should know, raiding within IE is very, very ... how can i put this ... Spastastic in the best way and ofc you will fit right in.
Not that ur a spas or anything!
OK, ill go bang my head against a wall now ..
-
