re: Congratulations to our newest Peacekeeper Karyn!!!!

Hello Karyn (Or DeathunterD as the case me be hehe)!  Thank you for your Application!

I am a former SWG player, though admittedly I did not start with that game until Jump to Lightspeed hit. I even lasted past the NGE patch when a lot of people dropped off. When I find a game that captures my interest I typically have a hard time letting go. I played Ultima Online for just shy of 10 years (long after my friend mover to EQ and then WoW) when Mondains Legacy was announced (Elves?? Really?) That's when I began moving SWG. That held my interest until just after SWTOR was announced for development. At that point my effort in SWG fell off since I knew SWTOR was the future. I jumped over to Star Trek online, but hard as I tried I couldn't get into it.  So I went MMO-Less until SWTOR.

What type of graphic design do you do? Have you ever been in a SWTOR guild before? Being from Philadelphia, I imagine you are a HUGE Penguins fan ;)

re: [Trial: Gunslinger] - SwtorKaryn Ends Oct 27

The application submitted by DeathhunterD is as follows:

Quote:
***Please look over this >>>> thread <<<< before starting your application.*** Before we get started, did you read the "How to Join PR thread" (linked above), and do you understand our application/Trial system? (It is mandatory to do so to be accepted!): Yes Age?: 41 Gender: Male Where are you from?: Philadelphia What is your main character's in-game name?: Karyn Which is the AC for your main character?: Gunslinger What level is your main character at this time?: 60 What interests and activities do you enjoy spending your time on both in and out of game?: In game I am very active pve player who loves to run ops and flashpoints during most of the days of the week with some crafting done on the side as I do them. However I also love to pvp on my characters as well. I sometimes do GSF when I have time but normally for me I do not GSF. Outside of game I chill out while listening to music while doing some art or designs as I am a graphic designer so I really love art and design. How did you hear about Pax Republica?: Server forums on SWTOR What was it about Pax Republica that encouraged you to sign up with us, rather than with another guild?: The fact that PAX is guild that has been around for a long time and I can tell that you have a guild that works together by all I have learned about the guild from the postings I read. Do you consider yourself a hardcore player, casual player, or somewhere in-between?: in-between real life would get in the way of me being a hardcore player as I work as a graphic designer so I could not put in the time to be a hardcore player. Are you currently a member of any SWTOR Republic guild? You can not join us if you're in another Republic guild.: No Have you ever been kicked from a guild for poor conduct, unruly behavior, or inactivity?: Nope I have never been kicked out of a guild for any reason. Which of the following interests you most?: Story Which of the following interests you second most?: PvE Which of the following interests you third most?: Socializing When you've been in a guild a long time, do you usually stay a regular member, or do you end up in/aspire to be in a leadership position?: Leadership Position The following questions are to provide you with a quick insight regarding the trial requirements. Do you acknowledge that activity is key to our community and that failure to contribute to the community(every week unless on leave of absence) could result in possible removal from the guild?: Yes Do you promise to act with maturity, friendliness and courtesy towards all Pax Republica Members... and other SWTOR players?: Yes Do you acknowledge that you must complete all the trial requirements given to you by the Pax Republica Officers to become a full member?: Yes True or False: You will re-visit the forums often over the next two weeks as you go through the Trials.: True Is there anything else you would like to include as to why we should accept you as an applicant to Pax Republica?: I am a very friendly person who is very easy to get a long with and I am a knowledgeable player of Star Wars the Old Republic as I have been playing sincere-launch of the game as such there is a lot I can bring to any table with that knowledge. Even before SWTOR I use to play City of Heroes that game is gone now but I played and was a member and trails(ops) team lead for the supergroup (guild) I was in. I use to play World of Warcraft before that and I use to main a Paladin and as a Paladin I main tanked, healed, DPS, raid lead, teached others and been a offer/class leader. I am a very hard working person who takes this aspect into games so I work on a issue into I am done working on it and the same thing happens with learning something new. I look forward to talking with you all more later. Are there any questions about the guild you would like answered?: I see that PAX has been around for a long time so I must ask how many members use to play Star Wars Galaxies as I must ask being a former galaxies player? Or what other mmo's did your leadership play before SWTOR? Once again to ensure you know how things work: "I read the "How to Join PR thread" (linked above), and I understand Pax's application/Trial system, activity rules, etc.": True

re: Congratulations to our newest Peacekeeper Karyn!!!!

I started playing Star Wars galaxies before Combat Upgrade came out I was playing a Combat medic Rifleman Lucinda as my main character pre-nge and I use to play in the server Intrepid. I also had a Entertainer on Europe-Chimaera named Anise where I was in a entertainers guild.

As for Star Wars the old republic I was playing with the guild The Descendants which all the founding leads had moved on form SWTOR so I took a few months break form the game and now I am back. 

As for my design I do everything from website coding, logo designs, brochures, flyers, posters, magazine covers and ads, book covers, photo and video editing, web ads and t-shirt designs to name a few of what I do. Below are three examples of my design work and my personal logo.

re: Congratulations to our newest Peacekeeper Karyn!!!!

Welcome to your trial process for Pax Republica! Let's get started:

During this welcoming period you will have 14 days to complete some tasks that will acclimate you into the guild and help you decide if we are the right guild for you!

Then, there will be three days for guild members to vote on whether or not they believe you should be allowed to join.  Virtually no one gets voted no... usually by then someone that doesn't fit in has already been asked to end their trials.

(If you need your Trial to be extended a couple of days due to a trip, or a serious emergency, etc., please contact an Admin and be sure to let them know when you'll be back.)

If you have any questions during any phase of your trials, a lot of helpful information can be found HERE.

Please post in your thread whenever you complete a task.

Here are your tasks:

Complete √ 1. Update your profile here at Pax Republica with a forum Avatar. ***NOTE***- Your avatar cannot be one of the generic default avatars that GuildLaunch gives you. It should be something unique so that it's easier to associate your name with some kind of image, this allows us to get to know you better.

Complete √ 2. Make an introductory post in your specified class forum provided below. Please use it as a chance to introduce yourself to the family, as this is a more permanent area for people to get to know you (your own "personal area" on the forums, if you will) than your application thread.

Trooper Barracks - Smuggler Cantina - Consular Library - Knight Praxeum

Complete √ 3. Either your Guild Launch user name should be your "main" character name in SWTOR, or you should link your main character to your GL account, so that when people see your profile name and avatar on the forums, they also see your most often played character in SWTOR so they can learn who you are. Here's how to do the latter:

  • Click on your name at the top right of the forums and hit "View Your Profile" in the pull-down menu.
  • See over to the right where it says "Stats"?  Click the link that says "Characters".
  • You may see a list of characters you've created on Guild Launch.  If you have already created a SWTOR character with the name for your most commonly played SWTOR character (your main), go to the next step.  If not... click Add In-Game Info.  Fill out the fields to create your character.   
  • Now that your character is made, go to View Profile.
  • Click sites
  • Click "settings" under Pax Republica
  • Choose your main character and click "Post As".

Complete √ 4. Go over our Charter (our Rules and Regulations document) and be sure to post that you accept it. Please read it carefully BEFORE accepting. Click here.

Complete √ 5. Log on to SWTOR and whisper anyone of rank Justicar or above with your in-game name so we can add you to the guild. For a list of our rank structure and names of officers, please Click here.

 Complete √ 6. Arrange and interview with an officer. The interview with be conducted in Teamspeak. The interview gives you the chance to meet with an officer and ask any questions you may have regarding your membership in the guild, and they will take the opportunity to get to know you better.

For a complete list of officers you can approach for an interview, Click here. It is YOUR responsibility to post in your trials thread that you need an interview and to let officers know what your schedule is so that they can offer to help you... or you can PM an officer to schedule your interview before Phase 1 is over. Please don't leave this until the last minute.

Complete √ 7. Group with Pax Republica members to complete 3 guild "missions". You must be in Teamspeak during these missions. A single mission is either:

  1. Two GSF battles
  2. One Flashpoints
  3. Two Warzones
  4. Half a PvE Raid (In other words, one raid attendance counts as two of these "missions")
  5. 30-45minutes of any other in-game activity (questing, etc.)

(Note: It is up to you to post here the different "missions" you completed and who was in the group(s).) The point of this step is to get in groups with Pax members to get to know them, and for them to get to know you!

► Voting Phase

8. Members will have 3 days to vote on whether you have passed or failed as a member, so sit back and relax!

While you wait to pass your trials, you should check out the entire forums if you haven't already.  If you're a raider, be sure to read all the PvE forums - raiding guidelines, DPS parses, etc.  You should post in the PvE forums a thread saying you're interested in raiding with your time availability, current gear level, class, talent spec, how many datacrons you've collected, if you have companion bonuses, etc. Same thing with PvP or GSF... post in those forums with similar information if you're interested!

This is also a time you can ask around about how to join our Pax Republica Facebook Group and our Pax Republica GroupMe Channels.

 

 

Good luck!

re: Congratulations to our newest Peacekeeper Karyn!!!!

I know I will catch some heat for this but I liked NGE. The only cool thing pre NGE was Teras Kasi. To be honest though it was the space game that stood out for me. The pre CU and CU were less than stellar...farming herbivores and mastering professions I had no desire to ever play to try to get a jedi made me quite bitter. It was too easy to make god-mode specs. I tried so hard to like it and played it so long with nothing but hope. To me this was the most pointless farming game ever. Great RP though.

My question for you is this: Will smugglers ever actually smuggle in a Star Wars game?

They may never give Smuggler the job in this game. Maybe the story will have us doing some of that but maybe not but it would be cool if we could make and or sell spice or deathsticks...lol. I like some aspects of NGE about a year after NGE came out when they did all the updates and gave out talent threes to all the classes.

re: Congratulations to our newest Peacekeeper Karyn!!!!

I have updated your trials with the steps completed. Don't forget to update more progress here, or be afraid ask other members to post their activity spent with you on your application thread. This helps not only with tracking your progress, but when your application moves to the voting phase, it helps members, who may not have gotten a chance to know you well, to see your accomplishments, or who they can ask for a reference.

Cheers!
