View Full Version : Recruiting mature and skilled players for Aion

Hi all,

Our guild has begun early recruitment for Aion and this seemed like a decent place to advertise. Currently our roster consists of ~10 people that were previously in the guild for WoW and ~15 more friends of those people that will be joining us.

In WoW we were a "hardcore raiding guild," in Aion we will be putting a stronger emphasis on creating a friendly and fun atmosphere for people to play in, doing away with our previous mentality of just creating a hardcore group of players merely capable of working together (without being concerned about any social interaction).

We will likely focus on both PvE and PvP. It is uncertain at the moment how end-game PvE will work in Aion, most people only know WoW raids and it may or may not resemble that, but however it presents itself we are looking to tackle any content the game has available for us. Our current player base also consists of many heavily PvP oriented players, including at least 10 gladiator caliber players and some more than that (omg red eyes).

If this sounds like something that may interest you, we are looking for mature and skilled players to join us. Both of those traits in bold are equally important. We are not looking for the kind of PvPers always looking to trash talk or stir up drama, but we are also only recruiting highly skilled players (just being a nice guy isn't enough either!). If you think this description fits you please visit us at www.voodooguild.net to find out more. Applications at this time do not need to be lengthy, we just need to see evidence that you are the kind of person we are aiming to recruit.

Thanks for reading.


Edit: Just a fair warning to anyone reading this thread for the first time now, I will just quote one of my posts on our forum.

Just to reiterate on this subject, we have received many more applications than we originally anticipated (almost 100 in less than a month). If you do not receive a reply to your thread please do not be offended, as we have almost stopped all form of recruitment at this point, with the exception of a few players who come from a background of very high level PvE or PvP (top 10 PvE in the world, Merciless Gladiator players, etc.).

If you do not fit in one of those categories but still wish to join, there is still hope. When the game is getting closer to launch we will announce on this forum which server we will be choosing. If you do not find a new guild to join before then, you should still consider rolling on the same server as us. Once we are actually in the game and actively involved with potential applicants it will be much easier to judge players we would like to recruit. Things that would stick out to us at that time would include people who are fast to level, people with high abyss rankings (similar to the original honor system in WoW), or just people we happen to enjoy grouping with.

If your application goes unanswered now, but you still choose to level up to 50 on our server and then resubmit your application, that will stand out to us as an extreme amount of dedication. And unless there is another guild or group of players you would consider playing with instead of us, it shouldn't do much harm in choosing our server instead of just randomly choosing another. We will also attempt to choose what we think will be one of the most popular and competitive servers.

Veex is a beast.

But dont get off topic, the opportunity to play with a gaming god must be promising.

Also, your guild website is funny...

Though I must also say I personally cannot blame any of our members. I do, however, blame Naxxramas for ruining the competitive raid mentality needed from people. It obviously didn't have the same effect on every guild, but when a new guild, like ours, is born under those kind of conditions it is difficult to evaluate the true worth and dedication of your members or to train and prepare new ones until it is too late. I also blame Blizzard's new idea of "hard mode" progression for killing off the last bit of motivation from our old school raiders. Average DPS would kill this encounter in 5 minutes? Okay, kill it in 2. People are living too easily through 15k AoE raid damage? Okay, well double it. Might as well just put a 1 minute enrage timer on Patchwerk and have him drop Frostmourne next patch, by their logic I guess you couldn't argue that it wouldn't be hard. Who knows, maybe next they'll be putting some huge button you can press to just increase the damage/health of a boss and add an enrage timer to it! Oh, and fire! Lots of fire!

The irony is its completely true and is exactly why raiding in wow is such a joke now :(

Not sure what server yet, waiting to see if they announce where they're located. I assume they'll all be in the same location, but would prefer a central/east coast one if possible.

Hey, I'm interested in mabie joining up with you. I might look into getting the game the next days I have coming up here.

Does it have servers like in wow? Let me know if you roll on one and a side you are on (if that is the same too)

My roommate just downloaded the demo so I'll know soon if I'm going to give it a try. Wow has become quite ill to play competitively lately. :)

I would love to play central / east coast as well if possible. Drop a server name and mabie some vent info if you care to chat it up.

Thanks,

W

Leaning towards Elyos atm, though it's not fully decided.

Servers work same as WoW, though beta only has 2 servers atm. I won't be participating in this weekend's beta since I've already played Chinese retail up to lvl 25, looking forward to the Abyss one in two weeks though.

And thanks to everyone who applied today, will go through them tomorrow and begin replying.

Aionarmory hasn't changed anything yet, but that could just be lag from translation or something else.

aionarmory is slow as fuck for updating. in fact they are hiring more people right now i believe.

and dont be misled by the name. aionarmory is not like wowarmory, it's a fansite maintained like wowhead or thottbot, except they dont have an in-game addon to farm the data for them.

I was reading the updated 1.5 patchnotes and they had a list of "new" stigmas or something, and none of them had Elyos/Asmodian-only tags so I think they are homogenizing them right now. I think I linked them but in case I didn't here it is
