Hi! I browsed like crazy and didn't see an official pinned topic or anything regarding the application process. I saw everybody doing this, so if I'm doing it wrong... I'm sure somebody can fix me!
Anyway, I'm the guy responsible for dragging my sister (Thunderchild/Aerrowyn - she applied earlier this week) and her husband into the gravitational pull of Wildstar. I almost completely overlooked this game, seeing screenshots and thinking, "kids' game".
Then I did some more research, watched the DevSpeaks, and started spreading the gospel... once we got into some Beta, we were all sold.
Needless to say, I'm pretty excited for W*. I'm almost 30 and my wife and I are expecting a baby in the next 30-40 days or so. We'll be getting a lot of playtime in before then and we'll see how we can balance the game between diaper changes and such.
We have a couple dogs that we love like family, and enjoy the typical guilty pleasures like cinema, reality TV, and good alcohol.
I have been using a computer since I was about 3 and gaming for just as long. I've played many MMOs - Ultima Online, City of Heroes, EQ2, Tera, WoW, SWTOR, ESO, etc. WoW was always my "rock" and provided years of fun and camaraderiie. Most recently, I was playing WoW in a 2-night-a-week semi-hardcore guild that was able to clear in 6 hours a week more content than most 3 night a week guilds did in 9-12 hours. I've been a main tank, class lead, and just a good solid DPS in the back - just as long as I'm having fun.
My wife will be playing W* with us, but she's never played an MMO before. She's in to Starcraft, Diablo 3, and other games she can "play with 1 hand" so we'll see how well we can train her to rock wildstar.
Anyway, not sure what else to say for now. Hoping we can join you, and I will likely want to raid. I will get my wife set up with an account on here tomorrow as well.
Let me know if I'm in the right place. I plan on firing up at midnight tomorrow and, if servers are stable, will be on quite a bit.
