Welcome our newest Peacekeeper, Taic!

[Taic]

The application submitted by Taic is as follows:

[Pax Eternus]

Hello Taic, and welcome back to the forums!

I don't see the name "Taic" on the removal list so we must have missed you. I remember you were a jedi knight, right? What made you change your mind and be a smuggler?

Thank you! And yes, I was originally a Jedi Shadow, then class changed to a Jedi Sentinel. I decided to become a Scoundrel instead because I changed my mentality from wanting to become a melee damage archetype to a healing archetype and I love the story behind the smuggler. I will probably have a Jedi alt of some type in the distant future.

Edit: Added SWTOR account to the OP.

For the information of all responding, Taic left the Guild in June via resignation and in good standing.

Good to see you back, Taic! We've got quite a few new members since your last time here, we'll leave the application open for a little bit and see if they have any questions for you. We'll get your trial rolling soon after .

Thank you very much! I appreciate the warm welcome.

Welcome back Taic always good to see old members returning!

[Hart of Hircine]

It seems a bunch of former members have come back, wb man.

Thank you much! I'm still in the process of moving into our new place and my girlfriend and I got the chance to play in the weekend test that just finished. Really re-enforced my decision to play. I've been told that I'm not to worry about getting the game with a very stern voice from my fiance when I ask about pre-ordering which leads me to believe that I'm getting it for Christmas, haha.

Until then since she enjoys WoW, we went ahead and got the annual pass so I have something to tide me over. She's excited to play TOR as well (but she's extremely shy when it comes to meeting people and using vent).

Just a heads up if your girlfriend would like to be more involved with the guild. I've taken this quote (below) from our Family and Friend Policy since you are unable to view it.

Thanks for the welcome back and I did get to play. However, with the NDA still in effect, sadly I can't talk about it even though I'm sure most if not all of us have gotten a chance to play. If not, within a few weeks there will be a free-for-all beta test weekend and I highly recommend that everyone gets on and plays!

I am ready!

I’ll be unavailable for a day, I’m getting a new video card installed, so don’t worry if your trial doesn’t get updated right away. I’ll update it when I return. Good luck!
