If you wish to apply to us, please do so using the form below. Please note that “txtsp3ak” or the sheer mention of ‘gear score’ makes us want to claw our eyes out with a rusty spoon, for more information if you find yourself feeling a little Maligned you can check to make sure you really are here.

The form is a simple one, but we do expect effort to be put into completing it, many have fallen at the first hurdle of making a bad impression, don’t be one of them!

Here is an overview of what we expect on our application form. Don’t copy this part for your application, but rather the bit in a pretty box below, our example text is lovely but we don’t like to see it over and over with every application.

-

YOUR NAME: We are of course making the assumption that you are not some kind of feral child that was discovered by the guy that played Bilbo Baggins in Lord of the Rings. It may also help us ascertain if you are in fact a ‘Real Life GURL’ and forward on such information to Raspi.

NATIONALITY: Austrian is not a real nationality, we know this and we're not going to be fooled. Maligned has members from all over Europe and the little bits outside of it.

AGE: We don’t have a minimum or maximum requirement as such, but Maligned is a very grown up guild with many adult words being thrown around, we also like to feel good when we learn that people older than us are still playing games.

ABOUT YOURSELF: Do you like to torture puppies? Have you ever been stuck in a lift with any members of the Greek royal family? This is the place to tell us, because we will find out eventually – we always do.

YOUR CHARACTER: So what is your character called and what other information can you give us about it such as class and specification. What made you choose this class? Please include a link to the armory especially if it contains some of those weird characters that are purely exist to annoy others.

GEAR: Many gear setups speak for themselves, but other times we see things that make us wonder what is going on, if you feel there is anything non-standard about your enchants/gem/gear choices please let us know.

RAID & GUILD EXPERIENCE: Did you poke C'thun in Vanillla? Or destroy Illidan during the Burning Crusade? Have you tickled the Lich King Heroic? What is your experience with end game content with other guilds? Why would you leave these inferior guilds? While we do focus on 25 man content, the 10 man encounters do give a taste of the respective 25 man encounters. What is your experience as a player?

WORLD OF LOGS & SCREENSHOTS You can lie to everyone but the bull, some kind of reference to saying you are a good cowboy, but are actually lying. While you may feel you are god’s gift, hard data will prove it – that and we also love statistics, a screenshot will also give us a good impression of your raiding ability and comfort with addons.

TEAMSPEAK & ADDONS: Maligned uses Teamspeak3 for raids as typing is just so old fashioned, are you able to both listen and if needed talk on Teamspeak? Don’t be shy. Sometimes we also require that raid members install and use addons for various encounters specific to one or more fights as well as various popular boss addons are you ok with this? What addons can’t you do without?

RAID ATTENDANCE: During times of progression, we typically raid on Sunday from 6pm til Midnight game time and on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7:30pm until midnight game time. You will be expected to attend at least 3 of these days. Do you think you will be online and available to raid during these times?

OTHER SPECS: What sets of gear do you have besides the one shown on your armory? If you feel inclined to tell us about your season 2 PVP gear, resist, although we do have many members that are active in the arena so if you do have decent and current arena gear mention it here. In addition, as a smaller roster of players we often need to have players use different specs for different fights as needed, could you be one of those players should it apply?

TECHNICAL STUFF: How is your connection and your PC? You might be awesome but you won't be much good if you disconnect just as you get Conflagrate on the Eredar Twins fight, while dancing with Heigan or something a little more relevent to current progression. Generally during progression a drop in frame rate or a disconnect will get you killed and maybe even cause a wipe which we really frown on.

ANYTHING ELSE: Post anything else you think we might like to know here.
