thanks for the info. if there are any guilds that could use an extra archer (hee hee), here's a short description:
i got items and start-up gold. i'm PvP archer: chiv, bush, archery, etc... i sport a comp/xbow combo with 40ssi/40di balanced on both (and some other stuff)... i chug when i think about it... i'm fast enough. just your run of the mill archer-ganker: point-click-kill.
im blue... usually... but i'll shoot anything that doesn't have my tag.
i like gold, even though i don't need it, so i prefer the roll system, since the point system usually puts new members at a severe disadvantage at auction time.
i follow orders (provided the one giving them isn't an idiot) and avoid drama (so if i think you're an idiot, i'll generally just avoid you rather than pointing it out).
i'm not going to build a house wherever i move to, so i would like to have co-own or friend access to a couple places.
oh... and i HATE yew gate fighting. i mean, i'll go, but i get so friggin tired of good PvP guilds wasting their time rollin 15 or 20 people at yew gate when they could be squashing oaks or something. as long as it's balanced and not habitual, i'm good, though.
... eh... and i don't like stupid rules, like "you can't play other shards" or "you can't associate with so-and-so". it's my game. i'll pull my own weight and you can bet on that, but i won't be told how and when to play a game i pay for (yeah, the wound is still fresh...)
------
so, if you have room for this guy, let me know. if you don't like what i've said, i understand... we can agree to disagree. i'll check out some of the forums in the WELCOME thread.
thanks again for the replies!
