Heard good things from several friends and from members. Also read about TWA on the forums. (And of course your own homepage).

Maconabo at least. We used to play a lot together a while ago. (Think we were in the same kin at one time even).

12. ABOUT YOURSELF
Born in the age when disco was not only not dead, but even popular, I suffered through the colour palette of orange & brown (on *everything*). Got into RPGs around the impressionable age of 8 (on a fast track to learn English in order to understand the rule books), I quickly solidified my label as a nerd when I took up computers as a hobby as soon as Atari's Ping-Pong hit the market. Being a mathematician-boy I fast tracked into a MBA, before doing an 180 and taking a bachelor degree in performing arts. At a more adult age, I return to college and grabbed a Bachelor in IT specializing in programming and has for the last three years worked for Accenture with some major IT systems for the Norwegian government. Not much fan for the traditional mmos, I non the less hosted a Neverwinter Nights community for several years (at the largest some 18 servers linked together in an unified world (Forgotten Realms)), before picking up my first mmo once Lord of the Rings arrived in beta. Been playing ever since.

After hearing much good about the TWA, I decided to apply for membership among with my brother (character name Valandar).

13. ABOUT YOUR MAIN
Alerion Carnesir was born in Lothlorien in the later years of the 2nd age. His father died in battle against Saurons forces in the battle of Dagorlad with the last alliance of Men and Elves. Together with Valandar Carnesir, his younger brother, he ventured to Ered Luin to seek council with the elves of Celondim about creating safe passage for the Elves leaving for Valinor from Lorien. Being the older brother and the head of the Carnesir house, Alerion has the responsibility of not only for his mother and siblings, but also a responsibility to complete the mission giving to him from the Lord and Lady of Lothlorien. Burdened with the death of his father in front of his eyes, he now doubles his efforts to fight the growing darkness as well as protect his younger brother from the fate of his father. Engulfed in the quest to protect his home, he has yet to develop a desire for himself to travel to Valinor.

14. I AM INTERESTED IN RAIDING
I am quite interested in raiding. It is a part of the game I only rarely have experienced and most of those times in pugs. Friends of Old so not raid much as a kin, and combined with the low activity is one of the main reasons for wanting a change. I understand of course that as a new member (if accepted) that I have to work myself up to get a seat in a raid.

15. I AM INTERESTED IN FELLOWSHIP QUESTS
Quite interested. I often end up playing solo or with Valandar, my RL brother, but love helping others out with fellowship quests whenever needed.

16. I AM INTERESTED IN RP & RP EVENTS
Quite a lot. Socialization is an important part of a kin and has been one of the things I have been missing lately. It is also one of the reasons why TWA sounds like a good match and why I have avoided the h.c. raid kins.

Heya mate!

Yeah , man. I was with ye in CRSA for a while. Glad to see you apply to TWA. GL, fella.

If by life or death I can save you, I will.

"You see, there's this thing called aggro."
"What's aggro?"
"It's a very complicated, very technical roleplaying expression. Loosely translated, it means 'the healer dies'."

Welcome and good luck with your application!
Btw, I have a friend in Friends of Old (Miralissa)
