About Jocelyn

Jocelyn is a under-employed Professional Services Manager living in Northern California on the San Francisco peninsula. With a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Minor in Technology Business Management under her belt, she donates her free time to the Center for Creative History, a not-for-profit organization that produces events supporting living history through the arts.

Jocelyn’s first gaming experiences were in standard table top gaming and an early computer text games called Colossal Cave Adventure. In the early 90′s she branched out into games for 16-bit Windows and eventually migrated on to games like Quake/Doom/Hexxen as OS technology improved. As an early adapter to computer games and technology, she found herself drawn to strategy games like Sid Meyer’s Civilization series and city building games like Caesar and Rollercoaster Tycoon.

Sometime in early 2005 she installed World of Warcraft and has been lost in the world of MMO’s ever since. During the peak of her time raiding, she achieved status as a World 10 ranked Disc Priest in a highly competitive Server First guild on the Galakrond server. She currently plays a Cleric on a Server First guild in Rift on the Alsbeth realm, and thoroughly enjoys the unique challenges and tactics of cutting edge progression where there are no established strategies or guides. She also plays healing classes in Lord of the Rings Online and Everquest II as a casual player.

As a Blogger she has journaled on many sites since early 1992 and is involved in various projects covering a wide range of topics from US politics to the care and feeding of happy Psittacines, to Computer gaming.

About me:

What I bring to the table is an exceptionally experienced, raid-aware player who maintains a 99% attendance rate for scheduled events. As a proactive raider, I enjoy reading up on future anticipated encounters, and frequently follow up on popular strategies within the healing community even after the initial “first kill”. I am an adult who understands the responsibilities of being a strong team member, and as such, have no problems getting my own avatar to raid locations on time and bringing proper equipment for the evening’s content in advance. For me, its part of the enjoyment of playing an MMO game to be able to research and test my own content-specific macro’s, stay current on mods and their updates, and maintain specialized min/max gear for progression encounters.

Furthermore, I an one of those strange breed of raiders that loves to test and develop cutting edge strategies for new fights, and am ready and willing each night for the strategic teamwork of a productive night spent on progression – wipes and all. My computer is top of the line and my connection is one of the best in the nation. I maintain at least one max level alt for consumable support and farming and enjoy participating with her in Alt runs and other guild events in my free time. I have WOL and WMO logs for the entire content of Wrath as well as raiding references spanning five years of WoW.

What I aim for is a professional-minded progression guild with a constructive team working atmosphere and active schedule. A good guild for me is one that keeps a tight roster so players have as little sideline sitting as possible. I work best in a respectful, positive environment, but at the same time enjoy the fun, lightheartedness of a well-integrated team of gamers. Short scheduled breaks during raid are a huge plus.

Although I take my raiding seriously, I realize this is a game, and as such, social aspects of an easy going but serious guild are a nice extra. Also, an active well populated server helps make out-of-guild play time more enjoyable all around. I am always up for random 5-mans, WG runs, and fun activities, and frequently PVP or pug to maintain my edge and meet new people.

Lastly, it is vitally important to me that the guild name over my head should be respected for the quality and personal integrity of the players that share it with me.
