app them now, srsly.

Hello everyone!

As you may know, applications open once again on June 1st. That's in...precisely two weeks! New crew members abound! They don't actually get to play until July, but it's never too early to start thinking about characters you may want to apply for. If you already have your idea, great!

If not, well, sit back and allow us to provide some suggestions.

For this...is...ENABLING NIGHT! ((Offer does not expire at midnight. Enable as long as necessary.))

Use this post to tell us why the canon you love and character you want are so spectacularly fantastic that they deserve another chance. That this ship will wither and die without their vital, life-giving presence. That they are worthy of being picked up and applied for.

How can you accomplish this? However you like! Essays extolling their virtues, your very best pictures of them, your favorite music videos, EXTREME ADVERTISING, and whatever else you have are all welcomed here! Let's make this ~fun~.

Good luck and happy apping! I'll have example comments up very shortly.

'One of the largest game fanbase of all time'

Not inspired yet? =D Not a problem, what about a rich and impressive lore that dates thousands and thousands of years. A world full of conflict and mystery? Dragons, Gods, different dimensions, different worlds, shifting realities, advancing technology mixed with magic, this world has such an immense variety of things to work with, that chances are there is something that you might really like!

This is an amazing and rich canon to work OC's from, just like Dungeons and Dragons. And I myself am passionate about it, having a slew of over 40 oc's from this canon alone. OC's of course, don't make up all the awesome that is the Warcraft canon; no no no, the amazing canon heroes in the world are legendary level!

Each faction leader, and heroes of the world of Azeroth, on their own, have intense history behind them but talking about them wouldn't do them justice. They're all too amazing to put into words in their own ways!

Thrall (http://www.wowwiki.com/Thrall), Vol'jin (http://www.wowwiki.com/Vol%27jin), Cairne Bloodhoof (http://www.wowwiki.com/Cairne), Sylvanas Windrunner (http://www.wowwiki.com/Sylvanas_Windrunner), Bolvar Fordragon (http://www.wowwiki.com/Fordragon), Tirion Fordring (http://www.wowwiki.com/Tirion_Fordring), Alexandros Mograine (http://www.wowwiki.com/Alexandros_Mograine), Garona Halforcen(my favorite hero ever in the series ^^) (http://www.wowwiki.com/Garona), Medivh (http://www.wowwiki.com/Medivh), Jaina Proudmoore (http://www.wowwiki.com/Jaina), Lorthemar Theron (http://www.wowwiki.com/Lorthemar), The Biggest Badass of the Entire Warcraft Universe! I mean Varok Saurfang (http://www.wowwiki.com/Varok_Saurfang)

These are just some of the big names in the series, characters loved and inspirational to millions.

Don't like yer standard fantasy races? Think they're played out? Don't worry Azeroth's history is FILLED with multitudes of sentient races for you to choose from;

Kobolds (http://www.wowwiki.com/Kobold), Gnolls (http://www.wowwiki.com/Gnoll), Murlocs (http://www.wowwiki.com/Murloc), Nagas (http://www.wowwiki.com/Naga), Dragonkin (http://www.wowwiki.com/Dragonkin), Nerubians (http://www.wowwiki.com/Nerubian), Tol'vir (http://www.wowwiki.com/Tol%27vir), San'layn (http://www.wowwiki.com/San%27layn), Quillboars (http://www.wowwiki.com/Quillboar), Ethereals (http://www.wowwiki.com/Ethereal) and so many others!

Aside from having a huge fanbase, a vivid and rich storyline and amazing characters, but before WoW I have to say that the art of Machinima was pretty unheard of, and the quality of good machinima was, well, laughable? But WoW made machinima a respectable and amazing medium to honor your favorite games! Here's a few examples that I love love love!









As you can see, everyone has their own way to tell their stories, some more extreme, some more casual and quiet. Warcraft's world is open enough to allow great possibilities for roleplay, and story writing. Everything has a line of course, but the lore is open enough to allow more creative writing and fun stuff to work with.

Be part of the Horde

or the Alliance

or one of the many races in Azeroth

Whatever you choose, I bet you'll have fun, or hope you have fun, cause that's what we're all here for right? Having a blast while playing with friends! <3

And if you're Garrosh Hellscream, Lady Sylvanas, or Varian Wrynn? This guy will try to tie you up, gag you, and lock you in a closet because frankly you're the most idiotic people on the planet.
