Would you be happy moving all your alts into the guild (excluding alts that are in a private guild to keep Guild bank access)?
I have a number of alts that I have on my old server Eonar that I have not touched in a long time. To move them to this server would cost me a small fortune and I can't really justify doing that.

This is my main character from the time I first started wow. I bumbled along not really knowing what I was doing for the first few months, think I tried tanking in arms for a bit as I found a cool sword! Over the next few years I played fury as in Kara we had two very good tanks. Then my chance to shine came when we did Gruuls lair, I got to be an add tank on High King Maulgar. Ive not really looked back since, Tanked all of the content from BC all the way up to SOO in Mists of Pandaria at that point real life meant that my raiding days had to take a backseat.
When I'm in a dungeon or raid, I read up on my tactics, follow instructions, don't stand in the crap on the floor and try to keep mobs off others!
I read mmo-champ forums, reddit, icy-veins, blizzardwatch.

What, in WoW terms, are you the most proud of? *This does not have to be a recognised Blizzard achievement*
In game terms I think the best achievement our guild ever had was killing Lady Vashj pre nerf, that one we worked for weeks on and the feeling to get her down was amazing never had the same feeling on a boss since. I was lucky enough to twice get realm first JC with some abuse from someone on my server doing it at the same time (still have the screenshots of the whispers from that particular player).
But Im most proud of making a lot of great friends from the guild I was in, we met in person, went out for too many drinks and was lucky enough to be invited to a wedding between two of our players (they did know each other before wow!)

Other Stuff
Do you know an existing member of the Highland Warriors? If so, who: for how long, and how do you know them?
I can't say I do, when I was looking through your applications I did see that a friend of mine from my previous Guild applied here last year. I know he has not been playing in a while and don't know if he still is here. Nightmare.
Why do you want to join the Highland Warriors?
Im looking for an active, friendly guild where I can make some new friends, run some 5 man mythics and your guild seems to tick the boxes for me.
Anything extra you would like to tell us about yourself?
I am making this application not only for myself but for some of my guild members also (they will be making their own applications). We have been together since pretty much BC, we moved to Wildhammer from Eonar to try and kickstart our raiding team after Wrath as many of us could not commit to 3-4 nights a week raiding because of work, babies, dviorces, deaths….you get the idea. But sadly the server move signaled the end for most of our ageing (they will kill me when they see this!!!) raiders. And our guild Demise lost members over the last year with WOD not really offering anything to do at max level.
But then Legion came along, we have world quests and Mythic 5 mans, and class campaigns. Finally something to do if you can't raid!!!!
This will be a very new experience for us to move to another guild and not be involved with the running of it and i can't wait for that. You will find we are all helpful and friendly people who just want to find a new home. (P.S. I have made it sound like there are hundreds of us, its only few! The rest of the guild jumped off this sinking ship a long time ago!!!)
Finally, as you should always end on a laugh, tell us your best joke...
Has to be from Dennis Pennis: Why did the super model stare at the orange juice? Cos it said 'concentrate' on the carton!
