Hey I am Dan.. Been playing WoW since release with the unavoidable 2 or 3 month breaks in between expansions. I own my own business so reliability and late nights/extended raid times are completely cool with me as I can get up pretty much when I like.. One of the most social guys you will meet (if i am online i am in Voice Comms) Ohh and I smoke Mary Jane



Please tell us about your raiding experience (pre-TBC, TBC and WotLK), if you didn't raid then please tell us about any other gaming experiences, be it WoW or other games:

ICC 10MAN (few HM)
Firelands 25MAN (Few HM)
DS 10MAN 8/8HC
MSV 10MAN 4/6N
HoF 10MAN 1/6N


Please tell us what you look for in a guild and what made you decide to apply to The Family Legion:

I would like a guild that knows what they are doing and is stable enough to raid each week without too much of a trouble to find its members.. I applied to you guys as you seem very like minded in your approach to raiding and believe it would fit in with my times and gameplay. Would be great to form some friendships in guild and hopefully become a strong member of your Core team for Patches and expansions to come. I should be accepted as i am an easygoing guy that can take criticism and is willing to listen to any advice that is given to me


If you were in any other guild/guilds before applying to us, why did you leave?

Ran a successful PvP guild on Burning Blade at the start of TBC which slowly turned into a dedicated 10 man raiding team for ICC10HC.. Was a very casual team at the time as we only raided 2 nights a week with very slack raid times and rules. Then transferred over to Outland horde to build another team for Cata.. I was unsuccessful and committed to PVP once again until the next patch began. When the fireland patch was released I joined Psychedelics (Horde) for a few raids and decided that guild wasnt for me. Ok when DS was released i ran a successful 10man Casual team 8/8HC which we continued into MoP with but people started to lose motivation after the first couple of weeks and the group kinda dispanded.


What is your view on progress raiding, raiding for achievements and raiding old content?

Because I have ran a guild in the past I understand that its hard to satisfy all your members and because i have experienced it first hand i have become very laid back with raiding old content for achievements as it still teaches coordination (in some cases).. And for Progressive raiding I understand that it can be tedious at times but when you're in TS with like minded people that are all focused on getting it down just as much as you are.. its the best feeling in the world when you actually defeat the encounter

We are not a hardcore guild. Which means we do not have as strict attendance requirements and sets IRL stuff first. However this leads to a bigger raid group. Ideally we want a raid group of about 15 people, which means sometimes people have to sit out. To make this fair we have a rotation system based on attendance. A more detailed explanation of the system can be found here. Is a signup system like this acceptable by you?

Never seen a system like that before but yes that would totally fine with me.. i dont mind cheering you guys on from the side lines



We are mainly a swedish guild, a few exceptions though. This means the language used in guildchat and ventrilo tends to be swedish. Ofcourse we all know and can speak english, but question is would it be a problem for you with a large part of conversations being in swedish:

Wouldnt be a problem for me but i would ask that all instructions and during raid combat would be in english.. Not sure if thats what you meant?


Please give any further information which you may be of interest to us and may support your application:

Ok.. Well i know i aint 100% geared just yet but i will be buying all the crafting items as soon as i have the gold.. and will be hopefully looking to win some items in LFR (was unlucky this week ) Please don't judge on gear alone as it will be sorted fairly quickly.. You wont regret bringing me into the raid as i am not the type of guy that will let a guild down once i have been admitted into a steady raid environment.

"Ohh and I smoke Mary Jane " Not exactly a selling point mate. Not that I´m complaining, just not oftenly seen in an application(because it´s needless information tbh)

This means, this being a swedish guild. We´re going to be talking swedish in guild chat, we´re used to be talking swedish in gchat/raidchat/ventrilo/dungeons well basically everywhere. Unless you happen to be the greatest guy in history, making us want to talk to you about everything, that´s not something that´s about to change anytime soon. We would ofc instruct you in english, try to shout out quick responses to game mechanics in english(don´t count on it).. Is this something you´re prepared to handle?

From me it would be a no, well written application at times though. But then again, I´m not an officer so my opinion equals shit

Thanks for the apply.

I have copied it to the officer forum for discussion.

Wasn't supposed to be a selling point I was asked to share a little something about myself.. So I did.. Just being honest

And yes of course this is cool with me.. Wouldn't expect anything else (as long as my instructions are made clear to me I am happy). I am usually a very social guy when out of raid so hope that doesn't disrupt anything

Sorry you think it should be a NO mate.. may I ask if it was a gear/exp or personality clashing thing?

Hehe, nono wasn´t trying to be disrespectful or anything You could be injecting bullsemen into your eyes during raiding for all I care, aslong as you do what you´re supposed to I´m cool Just not used to people going into THAT much detail on an application First time for everything. Had just woken up earlier also, not exactly the happiest person on the planet my first few hours "alive" xD

Emh as of now I just don´t see how we as a guild have the time to gear yet another player, we´ve had setbacks progress wise this patch due to players rerolling, players leaving at inappropriate times.
And not to be rude or anything your progress during cata just didn´t strike me as impressive, having downed Deathwing hc in august isn´t exactly a feat of strength. Just not sure if we´re the guild for you.

But that being said, this is just my opinion and if you get a trial I would give you as a fair shot at earning my "trust and respect" as anyone else

Good to hear man.. Have just been given a chance to raid with a very respectable guild on the realm and I think am gunna take their offer.. Sorry if it seems like I was wasting your time but I really wasn't and I wish you the best of luck in progression

Alright mate, I say go for it!

We currently don't have any raid spots open. The range pool is full and we have 1 ½ warlocks already. So giving you a trial at the moment would not be possible.

I would not say you wasted our time. Good to see a trial once in a while!

Best of luck with your trial for the other guild!
