Personal informationYour real name: Juri
Age and Country: 19, Finland
Tell us about yourself: I'm finishing my last year in senior high school in evening courses (It does not intervene with raid times, though) and "working" the days.
Tell us about your history in WoW or other MMOs: I've been playing WoW since the US closed beta. Moved to EU closed and EU open after that. Pre-ordered the game 3 months advance. Started to play as a rogue, got some feeling to MC with it but got bored and rerolled to Priest which became my main for Pre-TBC and later BC. Raided MC and wiped on Razorgore in the guild 'Anxious Hearts' before moving to the finnish guild Grim Sight Clan alongside with the finnish members of Anxious Hearts. Raided MC and BWL here of course, and took server first kills off of Skeram, Sartura, Fankriss and the three optional bugs. We got stuck at Huhuran for 2 weeks but got it down finally, but this was server second :< Then we wiped on Twin Emperors for a while before the guild kind of broke down, and merged to Beyond Redemption along with 2 other top horde guilds. I quit WoW here. 1½ years later, I start BC again, as casual of course. Raided Karazhan and tried the arenas for a month or two. Didn't really reach far though, 1650 was the best rating iirc. I quit WoW again. 1½ years later (I guess), we start WoW again with Diccolopick shortly before the release of WOTLK. We PuG raid some of the BC content as it has been made easier and buy wotlk on day one. Hour one, to be precise :-) Quickly level to 80, do all the heroics, and then move to our original goal of doing arena. We quickly realized, that WOTLK arenas are more match-up based than skill-based, so we never reached high with this combo. 1600 was the highest. So we pugged naxx, sartha, voa and other wotlk raid instances and then quit wow for 1 month, raging at the pvp inbalances :> Felt really content with the latest patch, so started WoW again, and have been raiding with Cielago since then and I'm starting to turn into a hardcore PvE maniac again. This was a short biography.
Did you read and understand the criteria for joining us inside the "Application Template"? Yes. I'm turning 20 soon, not afraid to talk on vent, am with peace with my parents and hey, I raided pre-tbc, farming is the second nature for me :-)

Do you have any PvP experience? If so what rating and bracket? (From armory): Highest 2 man team rating: 1723, Highest 3 man team rating: 1617. I've been the slave of match-ups: the 2v2 arena I did with a random I don't even know.. In fact, we got so frustrated that Diccolopick rerolled a rogue which is currently 80 and being geared just so our synergy would work better :< 3v3 is me, diccolo(hunter) and kuvajokeri(priest) too.
What do you expect from Results May Vary? I expect a friendly guild atmosphere, with no nazi officers =D and no lootwhoring. Basically, I raid to experience content and loot has already been just a bonus to me. Since a lot of my old acquiantances from Cielago's "invitational PuGs" are joining too, it seems very much like a guild I would like to experience Ulduar with.
Do you like playing your class? No, playing DPS is too easy!! I used to play a priest and now I just hate how you can hardly affect the outcome of the fight at all
Well, truthfully, I like playing a mage a lot :> I've always felt it was my true calling ever since I made a mage alt. Oh, and I'm a pvp-junkie, and frost mage pvp is the best.
How active do you plan to be? What days can you and cant you raid? I might skip a few raids here and then, since everything is on farm status. My raid attendance was around 70-75% in my pre-tbc guild before AQ40, when MC and BWL were in farm status. But I plan to raid on every possible day when Ulduar airs, count on it. Your raid schedule seemed really fine, they dont intervene with anything at all for me, so I can raid on all days unless something special comes up.
Any additional information you need to tell us? Please forgive me for being badly geared! When we started WoW again with diccolopick, we were expecting to just focus on the PvP part of the game — and to be casuals. But once we started doing Cielago's raids, and a bit before that too tbh, I've been drooling for Ulduar and I started to collect some PvE loot — but my luck with rolls is just awful! Cielago can confirm this :> Well, I'm not really "badly geared", just misgeared. That is, I have low sp (around 1820) and low crit (350 rating) but 700 haste rating in my PvE gear and I don't have the gear to respec into FFB or arcane that I would rather raid with. I do have my old HC full epix FFB spec gear though, but that won't do. I plan to fix this before Ulduar for sure. I've been working on it for almost a month now.
