Name is Kemble and I'm a long time real friend of one of your WoW officers, Skye.
My wife, Arrienn, and I are going to be playing WildStar and with the recommendation of Skye we have decided to play with a new family in this game.
New family you say? That is correct. It is with a heavy heart that I am saying that after 15 years I will not be playing along side a guild that I have been a part of since EQ in 1999. For 15 years I have helped run a very successful raiding/casual guild in multiple MMO's and have had many, many, many fond memories of doing so. Sounds like your motto eh? Family, Honor, & Loyalty?
However, as time goes on I've now gotten a family and with it comes large responsibilities. Those responsibilities have caused me (for the better of coarse) to change my gaming habits and I can no longer be the backbone of a new game as I once have been in the past.I am a serious hard core gamer at heart and am always striving to be the best in everything I do, from researching strategy in 10/20/40 man raids to theory crafting pvp advantages. But this time in WildStar, as hard as it might be, I will be taking a back seat and playing the game for the enjoyment of the game.
Why not continue playing with your 15yr old family you say?
Well that's simple... because I've been a leader for all those years, a progenitor in your ranks, it's very difficult to step down and just be a regular member when you have hundreds of people who know who you are and what your capable of. I tried it before and only found myself back in the leader seat because I either a) didn't like the way the guild was shaping out to be and didn't want the guilds reputation to go south. or b) ended up getting asked 1 million questions on how to lead, thus leading things from the backseat.
I will however be truthful to say that my original family/guild will still be a home for me. I still currently own/run the domain/website/paypal/teamspeak and will continue to do so. I did not see anything about a multi-guild policy in your charter so please let me know if it will be an issue and I will regretfully pull my application. I'm not entirely sure how the North America servers will be set up (one large server or multiple servers), but my original family will also be playing WildStar, in fact, one of the founding members is one of Carbines lead designers. Therefore, there is a slight chance that I could run into them in game. Guess I'll cross that bridge if it happens.
So without further ado, I'm applying to be apart of your WildStar (Exile) family and would very much like to call it my new home away from home so that I could enjoy a game with a new group of people who share the same family, honor, and loyalty that my original family has but without the pressures of being in the leadership seat.
