How long (approximately) have you been playing World of Warcraft?
I have been playing World of Warcraft for about 3 years now, I started in 2007/8, but unfortunately I do not remember the month that I started playing. I started at the beginning of the Burning Crusade expansion.
How confident would you say you are with the English language?
I am confident with my English. I was born in England and lived there for 9 years. My Grammar is fine, but I make the occasional spelling mistake, but this tends now to happen so often.
What experience do you have with roleplaying in the past?
I have been Roleplaying for about 2 and a half years now. I tend to know what I am doing and I do not jump into an argument unless I do not know the Lore. I like to have all the facts before I start Roleplaying. I have had several successful Roleplaying Guilds in the past and I like to try not to change or correct other's roleplay.
What experience do you have within the World of Warcraft?
I have had experiences with Raiding, Roleplaying, And PvP. I took a break from WoW for 7 months about 4 months ago and before that I was a Hardcore Raider, So I know what I'm doing there. I also did PvP for quite some time before it got a little boring for me. As mentioned in the previous paragraph I have plenty of Roleplaying Experience. I did not get a chance to raid in the Burning Crusade expansion because when I reached level 70 (when it was the level cap) Wrath of The Lich King was about to come out in about 4 weeks. I was a tank in WOTLK and I was good at it. I don't think I will be doing much raiding on this character considering I want to stop leveling when I reach level 70. Altough if I do go beyond that then I will be happy to help out with raids even if it is just explaining the tactics. I am most familiar with WOTLK Raids (especially Trial Of The Crusader).
If you were to join the guild, what would you bring to the strong OOC community the guild shares?
I always enjoy helping out guilds that I am interested in. On my Paladin (On Alliance) I joined a small Roleplaying guild which I really enjoyed. I helped out as much as I could and considering this guild seem very interesting to me I would help out as often as I could. I would be friendly, Welcome newcomers, Help people with what ever I can (If I have the time) And try my best to keep everyone happy.I am fairly social and usually very jolly. I enjoy making others feel happy as well. Although if I was in a bad mood or if I was sad I would probably not say much to avoid accidentally annoying or hurting anyone
If you were to join the guild, how often would you be able to play?
Well to be honest I made my Forsaken Character because I was bored. Currently there is an RP drought on the Alliance side, and seeing as how I'm such a big fan of Lordaeron RP I decided to make a Forsaken. I am really enjoying the Horde and I have been on this character much more than any of my others. I would try to be on at least once every work day but on Fridays I am usually not online because to be fair I think I deserve a night out with my friends after a week's worth of work
. The weekends would Vary depending on if I was going out or not but I would try to go on even if it is just to help a fellow guild member. Some weekends I may not be on considering I play Rugby and recently I have had a lot of games and Tournaments, So the weekends are becoming less active but only temporary. In the summer I tend to be on less often, but I still try to come on whenever I can
.
If you were to join the guild what would be your priority when online?
I think that the priority would be to enjoy myself and make sure that others do so as well. Generally I would try to Rp but I would also try to level up a little bit considering I want to get this Character to level 60 fast. I would be quick to give up leveling though so I could help out and socialize with guild members.
Why do you wish to join the guild?
To be completely honest I wish to join because I can not get enough of Lordaeron RP and I met a member of "The Spine" and I asked for a heavy Forsaken RP guild and she recommended this one. I Would really enjoy to be with a group of people who enjoy the same RP as I do than be with plenty of people with different views, because that can make stuff complicated. I really like the Idea of Forsaken, and the whole Roleplay and being with a group of people who also enjoy it would mean a lot, and I wouldnt have spend countless hours on my paladin just flying over Stormwind because I have nothing better to do.

Essay on Forgotten shadow
The Cult of The Forgotten Shadow was formed of those who once followed the Holy Light. Those who gave up on the Light considering they felt like it abandon them in their time of need. Seeing as how many Forsaken devoted their life to the Holy Light and only getting death in return they decided to make the cult. It takes many Virtues of The Holy Light but twists them in their own way to benefit the people more and embrace shadow magic. Priests still remain priests but they have their own methods. They practice shadow magic and figured out a way to use the Light as a Shadow magic. This whole Philosophy is trying to make life better for the Forsaken who have abandon the light. Although it may be small it is a growing cult. Many realize that this system of belief is more fair and that considering the Light offers nothing and only offered death to the Forsaken they should jump at the chance to join a cult which still represents the same virtues but promotes selfishness. The Priests are not completely selfish. They will still offer Wisdom and Guidance to those who seek it but in a shadowy form. Things may appear to be more gloomy but if one is to look at the fact that you are already dead, It can't get much worse than that so gloomy is the way to go. This cult helps many Forsaken who are lost and confused wondering what they did wrong to deserve such a fate. They then realize that they had done nothing wrong and that they should not Embrace the Light considering it does not offer much to the people, especially people in need. The journey is still the same but made in to a more fair system and more self centered. The Cult offers many things to those in need, and this is why so many are turning to the Cult of Forgotten Shadow, because unlike so many other Faiths, it makes sense.
