Hello Iron Edge
I am applying to you with my lvl 70 undead rogue Doomblade playing on Dunemaul.
Personal Information
My real name is Niklas, Im 18 years old and live in a small town in Denmark. Im currently studying on a gymnasium (closest resemblance would be a high school) in the same class as the huntard also known as Gerdi. Im on my last year and got my finishing exams in a few weeks, after that im planning to spend a well earned vacation until the social authority drags me screaming out of my house and tells me to continue educating myself.
Character Information
As I mentioned earlier- I am the happy owner of a lvl 70 undead rogue. Ive done my finest, to gear him up outside of raid instants because Ive spend most of my TBC time in a guild with some raiding troubles, but more about that later. Im abit of a PvP person and Ive obtained the warlord rank aswell as keeping my hunger for PvP through my entire game time. So basically Ive tried to collect some really nice PvE gear, aswell as some good PvP gear. This is the gear I am currently using in raids and instants:

Raiding
I am a few weeks away of my graduation. After that, the summer holiday is here and then my holiday year where ill be working, which means I will have time to play pretty much every day besides maybe wedensday or the weekend evenings which means I can raid in the afternoon.
More specific times after my graduation:
Mondays: Free
Tuesdays: Free
Wednesdays: Might have an appointment around the evening.
Thursdays: Free
Fridays: Free, except maybe for the evening.
Saturday: Free, except maybe for the evening.
Sundays: Free
This might change abit though. Since Im not sure of my working times after the holiday it might depend abit, but basically I should be in the day hours and thereby be free to raid in the evenings.
I dont mind spending alot of time grinding pots and gold to supply my repair costs. I am currently working on my last skill points in mining and I stopped lvl’ing my enginnering when I achieved a certain item (Jumper cables for the win, I r ressor). This means I am selling all the stuff I get on AH, which is a very reliable source of gold. Not to mention fist spec = grind bot.
Gaming (optional) and World Of Warcraft history.
My interest in Blizzard games started with Diablo and after that it just went on with Diablo 2, Warcraft (2+3+TFT), Starcraft. Beside that Ive been playing pretty much all the classic FPS like CS, HL2, BF1942 and so on.
I started playing WoW after a friend introduced me to the beta. When it hit the stores I got it and started lvl’ing a warlock on dunemaul. I was in one of the old school guilds on Dunemaul called The Bastards while lvl’ing, but after I reached 60 it disbanded and reformed into DH. Instead of following some of the old members who joined DH, I managed to get a spot in Ravenous, which was competing with BR to be the 2nd best guild on the server at that time.
I was with Ravenous through BWL and AQ and decided to take a break from the game in summer 2006. After the vacation, TM migration had made ½ of the old members from Rave, many of them my friends, leave for TM. So even though I was offered to return to Ravenous, I decided to throw my time on a new found passion for PvP on my rogue alt. I farmed for several months and went through alot of pain and misery to achieve rank 13. After that I started farming Silithus like a madman in order to get Earthstrike (which I threw away after 3 days of TBC… The irony).
TBC arrived and I decided to go abit casual (shame on me). So I joined the guild Storm in which I had a good IRL friend. They had been progressing really nice through BWL despite the fact that they were casual so I was pleased to get in. Sadly TBC went really wrong for the guild. We ended up having officers in 1 Karazhan raid and the rest of the guild doing nothing because most of the members had not done the attunement quest. This brought alot of trouble to the guild and even though Storm is getting back on track I realised that I had a really big problem with playing casual.
Since I was’nt raiding I did alot of PvP, instants, jumping in Orgrimmar and whatever could increase my /played. So I wasted alot of time and played even more than I would like too because I didnt have a raid schedule which I could stick too. Besides wasting alot of my time, my goal was to gather a nice bunch of equipment, despite my low possibility to raid. If you feel like I just wasted alot of your time and prevented you from gathering a nice bunch of equipment, despite your high posibility to raid, whisper me and ill send you a /hug ingame.
Why do you want to join Iron Edge?
As mentioned earlier, I realised I suck at playing casual and didnt have a raid schedule to stick too. And after Gerdi yelling at me that I should learn to raid and join Iron Edge I decided to give it a go. I want to join Iron Edge because I enjoy being among the first to do raid encounters on the server and work to complete these. I want to join Iron Edge because I have friends in it aswell as the fact, that Ive meet a large part of the players in the guild and they turned out to be really friendly, skilled and entertaining personalities. And finally to avoid this being 3 pages of ass licking I don’t mind to run around in l33t shiny epix while having Iron Edge tagged over my head.
What can I offer to Iron Edge?
I can offer a dedicated and descent-geared rogue, considering I nearly haven’t been raiding, that has been playing this game since its dawn and experienced pretty much all of its aspects. While grinding for my warlord and ES I set a goal and spend time on achieving it and Id like to do the same with my raiding even though there might be up’s and down’s. I play this game for the moments you experience when you have been working for something a long time and finally harvest the fruits of it.
Last word?
Einstein decided to throw his passion elsewhere after E=mc^2, ill let him get the last word.

PS: Ive chosen to apply for raider even though I am pretty certain that you dont need rogues atm. Since this is the situation at the moment I would be more than happy to join your F&F squad to enjoy your company and perhaps try to prove myself worthy incase a raider spot appears.
