Your application has been:

Do not worry though; this does not mean you cannot apply again, quite the contrary! After a day or so you may apply again which gives you plenty of time to fix up your application, plan it out as well as use all of this advice which I have given you in this post to make your application one of the best. Please check the links at the bottom of this post, they will help you so much.

You have been denied because:

Your definition for powergaming is incorrect, and your metagaming definition could do with some "cleaning up".

Powergaming is not "doing something you cannot do in real life", as powergamers do, do things which are completely possible. Please do some research on the subjct of powergaming. Luckily for you there are plenty of ways to learn the correct definition. First of all you can look on the lord of the craft wiki and then search for "Powergaming", you can join our Team Speak channel (You can get Team Speak from http://teamspeak.com/?page=downloads ), or you can do a google search.

Your definition for metagaming uses a lot of repetition. Read what you have written, and then re-write it so that it looks and sounds a lot nicer then it is currently.

Your biography needs a lot of work.

. Please include the entire question when writing your biography such as your characters history, personality, description and age. With the description don’t just write He is tall and old and carries around a bow. There are a lot of tall, old people who carry around bows. Get descriptive; what is your hair colour? How long? Eye colour? Big eyes? Small eyes? Do you have wrinkles? How tall are you? Are you muscled or slim but agile?

You also need to add your characters strengths and weaknesses as well as reasons for such. For example, if your character is good at swordsmanship, bows or even farming you need to explain in your biography why your character is so good in what it does and how it developed these skills.

Your character is not allowed to do "bad things" unless he is a villain (and you have an accepted villain application, which you can apply for after you have been accepted onto the server.) You need to make your character less "evil".

We would like you to include some more lore from the world of Aegis and/or Asulon 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,'>http://www.lordofthecraft.net/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page, or in the lore/history sections of the forum and website. The types of lore you can include can people places such as towns and kingdoms, or even people or events (such as the exodus from Aegis to Asulon which affected almost everyone).

Your answers to the RP situations need some work.

You cannot be like the bandits, as your character is not allowed to be a villain just yet (see what I wrote before).

Also, you cannot just write that “I kill the bandits”. There must first be some role-play such as talking and some warning before the combat takes place. Be as descriptive as possible when writing about the situation. Include all of the bandits and your actions, as well as all of the speaking that takes place.

The same thing goes with the second one, everyone (and I mean everyone) just writes that they buy something, and leave. What is that? It shows a lack of effort in my opinion. All you have to do is use your imagination, create something innovative, exciting and fun for the reader. There are endless possibilities, for example you could write that the shop keeper is actually a bandit who is luring victims into his shop and then he gets his thug friends to come in from the rear to block your escape, or perhaps the shop keeper tries to cheat you of an item and you respond by calling the guards and something exciting happens. The possibilities are endless, all you have to do is be creative.

Your skin needs changing and it needs to be embedded.

The skin is not RP enough and it looks very "non-human". Change your skin to match your character description (when you get one), and then re-add the skin.

When you right click on the skin picture and select "Copy image location", keep it copied and do NOT put it into the application yet. Click on the insert image button, (it should be under the text color and to the right of insert link button) then paste it into the text box given.

It will then add some [img ] tags surrounding the link. LEAVE THEM ALONE or it will not work.

Do not post another application within a day or that application will be skipped.

Please do send a PM my way if you are having any trouble understanding the application process or my feedback, I would be glad to help you. :)

Good luck for your next application!
