[APPLY FOR GM HERE]

It has been brought to my attention that the majority of the posts on our application pages are simple copy+paste jobs from previous threads. The reason that this new thread was created is because we felt the old ones were stale, stagnant, and didn't truly represent the candidates.

To join the staff, here is the information you must provide and what is required of you. The more details you provide, the easier it is for us to evaluate you as a potential member of the Embers Team:

• Your age
  
• Your timezone (offset from GMT)
  
• Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc)
  
• Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
  
• How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
  
• How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
  
• What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)

When you answer these fields, please keep in mind that we view our staff as a tight-knit group. We are a team, and as such, we support each other! Those who cannot compromise, work in a group environment, or have an open mind NEED NOT APPLY.

Your age: 16

Your timezone (offset from GMT): GMT - 8(PST)

Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc): I have been playing WoW for about three years. Started back on KL when it was on patch 2.3. I have played on retail a bit since then, but never really liked it so I stopped.

Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands): I can say that I have had quite a bit of experience using ArcEMU and Mangos commands. I know basically every command there is on ArcEMU and Mangos and have used them all while messing around on my own private servers. But I have no experience with MySQL or C++. Though I will be learning C++ as soon as I can.

How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?: I think I would be a good disciplinary GM/world channel moderator. I would also be willing to learn how to fix bugged quests and fix any bugs I run into. It shouldn't be too long before I have it down. I am a very fast learner.

How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?: As I said I used to play on KL and I left once it started to go downhill, but then I was talking to Xiri over Xfire and he told me about the server so I checked it out. I have a few characters: Xiather; Xiagruka; Xianide; and Xiakau. All of them are Horde and in the Twilight Initiative guild.

What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)
Dark Blue!

I have never had the good fortune to experience a real wow server so that is why i love playing on blizz like server ive been playing world of warcraft for about a few years (2-4) and ive always been enjoying it
-Technical experience
I was a gm for about a year in a server... i learned every command possible but the server was in the burning crusade time and not the wrath of the lich king time . Currently i am helping my brother set up his server its all set up hes just trying to make it public (i dont think its gonna get a lot of ppl xD) so yea i got a lot of experience as an in game GM
-How are you connected to Embers of the Legion
Through Knights Legion ofcourse it was the most amazing experience i ever had and im searching for that amazing experience on this server I also love all my awesome friends that ive made on server and their the reason i keep coming back i just cant seem to stop playing wow xD
What is your favorite color?
Red i truly just love the color of red. It is the color of love and passion and when ever i see it on something it just makes me so happy .
Seemed like the application was missing something so just gonna write it here
The things i plan to change in the server are
1) Truly i will change the spirits in the server i noticed during a certain time (forgot the time period xD DOH) the server gets so quite and so gloomy i will fix this gloomyness with Embers own creative events!!! in the servers i was GM in i always loved making events and watching people just go crazy over winning and not even care about the prizez xD i love that stuff
2)My guild mates need some new instances to OWN so i would want to maybe help out with that stuff on the old server i fixed some ingame buggs with my ingame powers like if an npc was missing i added him after making sure and if some sort of item was missing i created an quest item vendor and put it next to the quest npc for help im not sure how i am with DB's cuz ive never actually fooled around with one but i hope ill be able tooo
3)Quests...i saw a lot of bugged quests in northrend (only 3 right now xD) and ive got some ideas on how to fix them their a simple fix and im sure even if i dont make gm ill be glad to help

Experience playing wow : I've been playing wow from before burning crusade on blizzard for about three months before my mom said it's to expensive so she stopped playing untill bc when my cousin introduced me to private servers that he got off a torent which was none other than knights legion > and have been playing till this day.

Technical experience : well I have owned my owned my own server for quite a while but decided to discontinue you because I didn't have a proper host nor could I afford one. Like deathlife who was one of my gms the best one I had I learned every command up to 3.0.9. I've been a gm on naxpgaming for about 6 months but I left because the other gms were very seldomly on and late for their shifts and when they were on they were afk and I had to deal with everything myself which got annoying. I also am good with lua programming language, mysql is as easy as things get, and I am pretty good with fixing small stuff never really attempted anything huge.

Favorite colour : blue or green... Yes blue that's the one

Well I can help out in game a heck of a lot after assessing the problem and testing it
myself and then help the player or just come up with a solution


Well that's my application hope u liked it

Ps I'm making this application in advance as I am currently out of hue country

2 year official, 1 private Before BC when I started.
* Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
I know few GM commands, but as before always willing to learn.
* How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
Help those in need, if there is something that I know that another staff member doesnt I can inform, as well as my time and patience will be put into the helping of players if possible as well as the fixing of technical problems.
* How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
Sheva and Unite started me on Embers of the Legion when we were on path 2.4.3 and I have been playing ever since doing what I can with what I have to help others out with questions or needs.
* What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)
Purple forever will be.
Again thank you for your time in reading this I will see you all in game.

i know i haven't been here for too long and i'm coming completely out of the blue here but i'm hoping to make things run more smoothly in game.

* Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc)
I've been playing for about 1.5-2 years now. I started out on Knights Legion and eventually moved to Prowlers. I'm not sure exactly when I came in but I have know experience prior to Burning Crusade.

* Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
I'm unsure of most commands but I am a quick learner.

* How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
With the amount of completable quests and quest chains available, I'm hoping to track down and fix any problems with quest items, locations, and kills.

* How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
I found and joined the Knights Legion server over a year ago and recruited a couple of friends along with me who got to know many of the members of the server before we eventually moved to the Prowlers server. Later when the population of the server plummeted, I tagged along with the rest of the Prowlers who migrated here.

* What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)
I have never really had a set favorite color, so I'll just say BLUE, to amuse you.

Your age: 25

Your timezone (offset from GMT): -5

Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc): Played on Blizz during beta testing and for about 2 years, took a break for half a year and played again for another year on Blizz, now I have been playing since on this server and I love it!

Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands): I have several talents in the computer industry because I work in it, I do not have any GM experience in and of itself but I used to run a Counter-Strike server as an administrator so I understand the scripting and general scripting command structure. I'm a very fast learner which is cliche to say but it's true, I'm self-motivating in work, my personal life, and in-game, and I'm always ready to take constructive criticism and improve the way I do things.

How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)? I will strive to keep people happy while making sure everyone is being civil with each other, bust most of all I will lend a helping hand. I think my primary focus would be to take care of those early morning hours (Between 8:00AM GMT -5 and 3:00PM GMT -5) when there's not usually a GM on.

How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)? Joined this year around March I believe, I'm in the guild POTL and I've known everyone just about as long as I've been here.

What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!) It changes everyday, today it's Green :-)

What can i say, am not gonna blow smoke up my own a**

30 years old

been with KL and embers (embers since it was born) took a little time out, but now back with a vengeance

got my own webiste (could clone) if things go well........ more sites the better

Hopefully hear back soon about GM but if not al see you ALL, in game..... need any help msg me,

oh and my fav colour is red and am about -6 gmt from washington if that helps

No answer yet Mr Den....... take that as a NOoOOOOO

Yes I'm applying again, yeys embers!

Age: 19
Timezone: GMT
Experience playing WoW: Since WoWEmu 1.1.0 for a long long time, since a little before KL started, not sure exactly, but a long long time.
Technical Experience: Experienced with MySQL and with Mangos/WoWEmu rather well, been awhile since I did anything so would take me a little time to get back into the swing of it, learn commands for current server kit.
How I will compensate: Well I'll work to keep events occuring, keep players interested which will hopefully stop them from whining atall, I'll also work in any area I can on the technical/development/bug fixing side of things to lesson the work on other GMs. Hopefully I can help keep spirits up aswell, as I know Staff is a pain in the a** at times
How are you connected to Embers: Well I have a stack of characters, Butch and Renegade are probably most well known, I have been here since embers started, worked with the original staff of embers to help get it up and running (although Den did just about all the work I just watched and pointed at things with a spikey stick) I know most of the staff/players rather well, and I used to play and Dev/GM KL while I was there for a long time.
Favourite Colour: PINK! THE COLOUR OF POWA!

Notes: Just one more thing, I will be spending alot of time with my gf and (hopefully) at work, meaning I won't be available all the time. I'm sure this will serve as a rather nasty little problem, so I'm letting you know in advance.

Applying to be a GM!

Age: 22

Timezone:Eastern Standard Time (EST -5)

Experience:Been playing since 0.8 beta of WoWEmu on the server before it became Knights Legion. (aprox 4 years)

Technical experience:: I am familiar in MySQL in both a professional environment and WoW Emulation. Hosted Knights Legion so I am also familiar with the workings of a server including scripting, patching, database editing, linux, some PHP and web hosting, GM commands and their functions. I have experience with WowEmu,Mangos,Ascent, and Trinity Core Emulation including UDB Database. I have been a GM (or higher) for 3 1/2 of those 4 years of playing.

How will you contribute as a staff member:I am willing to provide constant assistance to players no matter what Im doing. I also feel I can aid in the inner workings of the server including in dept quest fixing via SQL, patch testing, and other development duties if needed.

How are you connected to Embers of the Legion:I was part of the original Knights Legion community, and the server before it Platinum Prison. On those servers I was known as Ronux, and here the same. I have 3 levels 80s and 2 characters a work in progress.

What is your favorite color?: ORANGE FTW!

Age: 27

Timezone: Eastern Standard Time (same time the server is)

Experience: I've played Blizz servers for 3+ years, started playing it back during lvl 60 cap ended up quiting due to RL during TBC, which I also endgame raided for right at a year. This is the first private server I've played on besides the private server I used to run to allow my guild to get framilar with the layout of a new encounter along with working on strats for boss fights. I've only been on this server for a short time really, a few months

Technical Experience: The server I had ran on the Mangos core. I have xp with php webdesign so I know how to work with a mySQL database, have about 5 years easy xp with that. I have about a year's xp with GM commands atleast for TBC.

How will you contribute as a staff member: Well I'd be able to provide assistance to those who needed help with something only a GM is able to provide, I already help out with some problems ingame players have if I am able to do something to help. With the hours I am ingame I see time spans where there are no ingame GM's. I learn fast, so once I get adjusted it won't be a problem for me fixing bugs. I'm always up to testing of instantances. I'm one who can fill most any place that's needed, if I don't know something I teach myself by reseaching and playing around with it.

How are you connected to Embers of the Legion: As I've stated above, I've really only been here for a few months but most people ingame know me. I currently only have one lvl 80 but have others I'm currently working on.

Favorite color: Blue the one color everyone who knows me IRL see's me in, lol.

* Your age
56

* Your timezone (offset from GMT)
GMT-5 aka EST

* Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc)
Approximately 2 years playing on private servers; 2.3 patch and up.

* Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
Fair working knowledge of MySQL and am learning C++. Good working knowledge of Trinity Core GM Commands.

* How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
I believe that a GM, first and foremost should be about helping players, whether that be the handing out of information or arbitrating disputes in a fair and even-handed manner. Being an older player with my own business I can bring organizational skills to the table along with my technical expertise. After all, not all "WoW issues" are game related, but rather hardware related.

* How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
Like many, I have multiple characters on this server. I also played on the KL server with many who play here now.

* What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)
Olive drab green. What else would a Vietnam combat Vet like?

we are looking for some1 who is interested in being a GM from EU timezones. post your applications here

*Your age: 21
*Timezone: +2(EET)
*Experience playing WoW: I have been playing here at embers for about 1,5 years, starting at patch 2.3 (TBC) until the present day
*Technical experience: I am experienced with SQL, but i am more than eager to learn C++ and wow emu commands
*How will i contribute as a staff member: For starters i would like to assist players directly ingame on bugged quests or problems they encounter during playing, and secondly i would like to try and fix some of the northrend heroic dungeons and daily quests, which will in my opinion add in the gaming experience in embers, making it more blizzlike.
*How are you connected to embers: I started back in the days of hellscream legacy with a warlock, and now i have come up with a number of characters, such as demian, berial, yperion and amwrath as well as some lower level ones

Not sure about the version / patches, this is the only server I've palyed on
I've been here since the embers server started, I think it was low 2.x.x

•Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
I have a little experiece with mysql, and apache,and some Unix (linux) based servers as I used to work, at a community college, but I have none with gm commands, but have studied them and I would like to learn.

Well I have been here since embers started, I would really like to start giving back

staff, its up to the staff to how I really would contribute, but I do have alot of ideas for low lvl players and lvl 80 alike. basically they would be world and faction oriented. I do believe I will contribute alot to the server, cause this is the only server I will play at. If the server goes down I just dont play till it comes back up ( im dedicated to embers only )

My age:
What can I say ... 39 in april this year

My timezone (offset from GMT):
EU timezone (GMT+2)

Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc):
I'm playing WoW for about 3 years, from 1.4 to 3.1, only on private servers looking for nice and warm communities (Old KL, WoWSexy, KL and then here).

Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands):
I never learn something i don't need to use. I didn't learn any programming language but HTML, CGI and a little Java because i used them to create my company own web site. But I can tell you: I'm graduated in Elecrtonic Physics, I had my own bussiness (2000 - 2008) in computer sales and services
... I can learn very fast what i need to use.

How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
Well ... I had a good teacher on KL, Ryzel. He learned me helping others is a funny way to play WoW.
I followed his doctrine coming here, on Embers. I created my own guild and I extended it alot in short time. The first rulle of this guild is: Help guild members with mats, gear and hand on difficult quests as much as you can. All this time I helped all guild members and if i had time and resurces the rest of the realm players. It seems my teaches was efficacious because some of my guild members went out and create their own guild managed by the same first rulle.
So i can help spending my 6-10 hours ow WoW at day helping players with knowledge, advice, and much more.

How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
As i said earlier I like to play WoW on small servers with nice and warm community. After KL, Embers was the only one where I found what i like. I have here 5 ally characters lvl 80 and 5-6 others lower lvl, including two horde characters. I hope I'm respected by all players, not loved by all of them ... this is imposible in my opinion.

What is your favorite color? (sorry couldn't resist...DNA ftw!)
Well ... this is a tricky question ... can reveal our spirit ... mine is BLUE

[*]Your timezone (offset from GMT)
Australia - [UTC/GMT +10 hours]

[*]Experience playing WoW (years, patches, official vs private, etc)
Played WoW for a few years now,
Only every played on 3.. KL, Prowlers and Here. Don't see the point in moving around unless there is no choice.
Loyalty to server is #1 IMHO.
I do not play on any other servers full stop.

[*]Technical experience (MySQL, C++, any EMU GM commands)
I'm a nerd XD, but no expert on any of these.
Designed, constructed Db. for work (MSAccess with ODBC addess to hack into Philips Medical Databases and Legacy systems across the statewide network in Queensland, Australia). C++ did my head in Uni so I step back from any claims there, EMU GM Commands.. never been a GM before, but am always happy to learn.


[*]How will you contribute as a staff member (this is not technical, but all-encompassing)?
My major issue with server has been lack of GM's online in my timezone playing time, so filling that hole would be my main goal. (I do notice that a couple of new GM's Myst and Cad help fill that gap).
I'm happy to help where I can and where it is needed.


[*]How are you connected to Embers of the Legion (characters, past and present, former servers, etc)?
Raswarrior and Raspal migrated (to lvl 70) from Prowlers and KL, been playing on this server for quite a while now and gotten to know most of the players in one way or another so I guess others can make a judgement on how fitting a person I am.
