The guild rules define both who we are as a guild, and how we expect ourselves and others to be treated. while there are many rules that apply to specific situations within the world of warcraft game, one caveat stands above the rest:

Treat everyone with respect and honor. (see rule number 5)

Code of Conduct

  1. Respect guild members and strangers alike and treat them as you would want to be treated. Remember that you represent the guild in your actions. you have a tag above your head and everything you do is representative of the guild. (see rule number 5)

  2. No extortion of Guild members. we are here to help one another. Trading is fun and helpful!

  3. No begging. This includes but is not limited to begging for Gold, sexual favors, Instance running, and power leveling.

  4. Try to restrict your use of profanity and sexual depravity in Guild chat and Vent. Kids play this game, geez!

  5. Don't be an idiot.

  6. Don't stand in the fire. GTFO. This means you! (see rule number 5)


Raiding

  • Preparation
    We expect each and every one of our raiders to come prepared to every single raid. Being prepared includes coming with your Reagents, Flasks, Potions, Well-fed Buff Food, knowledge of the instance, and with an attitude to raid. Your gear should always be upgraded, gemmed and enchanted and at the best level you can achieve. We have numerous crafters at max level for every profession who can help you prepare.

  • Signups
    Raiders are expected to sign up on our website if they wish to be included in the raid group. This is not a guarantee that you will be included in the raid, simply a way of letting the raid leader know that you are available. It is the raid leader's responsibility to choose the party that incorporates the best class mix for that particular raid. Signing up available AND unavailable is required, as it helps to let the raid leader know whether you will be there, and if not, why.

  • Attendance
    We expect you to be available for most nights on our raid schedule. Being there every raid day is ideal, and will help to guarantee your raid position.

  • Conduct During the Raid
    During a raid, we expect our raiders to stay focused on the task at hand. Keeping vent clear for the raid leader and knowing your assignment are necessary for all of our raiders to understand. The raid leader's word is law. Do as he or she says or be asked to leave the raid. No exceptions.

  • Breaks / AFKs
    We will have scheduled breaks periodically throughout the raid to give people a chance to repair, restock, take a bio break or whatever. Please restrict your AFKs to these times, unless it is an absolute emergency.

  • Required Raiding Mods
    Deadly Boss Mods, Omen Threat Meter, Raid Frames (such as Grid or X-Perl), and PallyPower for paladins. These mods are necessary to insure the success of the group as a whole, and are therefore required for every member of the raid to use.

  • 10 Man Raid IDs & Loot
    10 mans will be on a Master Looter /roll system. Raid leaders are responsible for determining group composition, times, etc. It is up to the raid leader's discretion whether a 10-man will be listed on the calendar for signups or run with a static group. Anyone interested in joining a particular group should speak with the raid leader. If you are interested in starting a group of your own, pugging, or running with another guild, you are welcome to do so. There are no guild restrictions placed on 10 man raids. We do however ask that anyone with a raider or backup raider rank refrain from running 10 mans when a 25 man raid is scheduled.

  • 25 Man Raid IDs & Loot
    You will be expected to reserve your 25-man raid IDs for the guild. 25-man Raid Looting is a bid-based DKP system. You can read a full explanation of this system here: EL DKP RULES.


Instances & Loot Rules

  • Be considerate to your groupmates, and unflag for the instance to allow everyone to benefit equally from buffs and group heals.

  • When an item drops - If you want it, greed it. If it is an upgrade for this character, need it. If it is for an alt, greed it. If nobody can use it, have an enchanter in the group greed it, disenchant it and everyone rolls on the shard. If you have already received a shard, pass and give others a chance to get the shard. If there is no enchanter in the group, everyone greeds.


Alts and Inactivity

There is no limit to the number of alts you may bring into the guild, but we do expect that you actually play any alts that you bring in. All alt characters are assigned a rank of Alts and will be expected to have a last logged in date of no more than 15 days. Inactive alts under level 40 will be removed from the guild after 15 days of inactivity. Like mains, Inactive alts over level 40 will be removed from the guild after 30 days of inactivity. If you have a real life situation and need to be offline for longer than this period, you will need to let an officer know.


Ventrilo Voice Chat

There are no rank or other restrictions on who may use the Vent server. This can also include friends outside of the guild, if you need a place to communicate. Everyone not in the guild will be granted GUEST status, and will be subject to the same rules and regulations as all of our guildmates. Namely, to treat everyone with respect, and always abide by rule number 5 (see above).


Guild Bank

We encourage everyone to contribute to the guild bank, ie food/fish, materials, gems, etc. The guild bank is for all of us to enjoy, but it is only fair that if you plan to make withdrawals, you will need to have also made contributions.

Guild members of any rank above initiate are eligible to request a withdrawal from the guild bank. If you would like to make a withdrawal, you should ask a member of the council, and be prepared to input half AH price.

  • Some item withdrawals cost DKP. These are distributed through bank auctions which are announced in the Guild Message of the Day

  • Everything else can be bought for half the average Auction House price of the item.
     
  • We encourage you to purchase items in the guild bank by donating raiding goods worth the above named value rather than cash. (eg, purchasing mats for an enchant could be done by donating several stacks of food, primals, or potions as opposed to cash)

Food and other raid consumables are stored in a seperate tab in the guild bank, which is open to members of the rank Raider and above.
