Your application has been:

But don't loose hope! After two days you can re-apply which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application and plan it out, as well as use all the advice I am about to give you to make it spot on. Also check out the links at the bottom of this page, trust me they really help.

You need to write a much more in depth description of role-play. Currently it just feels to me you do not really get what role-play is all about. Do a google search or join our Team Speak channel and ask around what role-play means to them. If you do not have Team Speak, I suggest you do the google search.

Both your definitions for meta-gaming and power-gaming are incorrect, please do a google search and find out what these terms mean as they are very big problems on this server and when people are caught practising these things they will get banned.

Please make sure you have voted as it is a requirement to join the server. The link to the website is here: http://www.minestatus.net/6317-the-lord-of-the-craft/vote

To find your vote number look at the total number of votes for this server. That number is your vote number.

Your biography is too short and needs some expansion. Please include the entire question when writing your biography such as the Personality, Description and age, not just their history. Also we would like you to include some lore from the world of Aegis such as names of towns and people, or even events which have happened before and your characters connection to the event. You can find all about the lore of Lord of the Craft here: http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page For example you could write my character was born in the elven kingdom of ... or near the human fort of ...

Try to expand on your ambitions. Write not only long term goals for your character, but perhaps short term goals (such as getting a house or some money), or maybe some life long goals (such as making life long friends or never touching a drop of alcohol).

I would like to see at least a PARAGRAPH for each role-play question and make sure for the combat question you abide by the rules of combat for the server. In role-play you will need to warn a villain before engaging in combat. At least a couple of lines from each person is needed for combat to initiate or it is considered a no-rp kill and you can get banned on the server for it. Do not just write:

I suddenly pull out my sword and kill the bandits. Then I ask the elf for money for helping him.

Write a dialogue as well as the actions of all those involved. This goes as well for the shop question, do not just write a single line, write a full scene. Write the actions of all involved in the situation and what they say, how they interact with each other.

I want to see how good you REALLY ARE at RPing and I want you to try as hard as you can when answering these questions.

Do not post another application within 2 days or that application will be skipped.

If you need any help don’t be afraid to send me a PM on the forums.

Good luck :)
