GUILD RULES
1. GENERAL
1.1 Anyone can be invited to join the guild and any member of the guild of Ember rank and higher can send an invite. Just click ‘add member’ button next to the guild list.
1.2 Use your ‘NOTE’ to list your spec, professions and any alts you have in the guild. To change your note, click your name in the guild list and type in the note box.
1.3 Feel free to ask for help and advice from the guild, that’s what we’re here for!
2. BANK (GV)
2.1 If you take items from the bank, please also contribute to the bank.
2.2 The gold in the bank is for repairs, feel free to use it. Please don’t take gold for other purposes without asking an officer first.
2.3 Do not add grey items to the bank, these items are junk and should be sold to a vendor for cash or destroyed.
2.4 Only take items from the bank which you can use. In the case of armour and weapons, this means the item must be useable by your class and by your level. Armour must be of a material your class can wear. Weapons must be a type your class and level can use. Recipes must be at or below your level skill for your professions.
2.5 Taking items which you cannot use is classed as stealing.
2.6 Taking items to sell for cash, whether at a vendor or in the AH is stealing.
2.7 Thieves may receive one warning or may be immediately removed from the guild.
2.8 Each page of the bank has details of what kind of items are appropriate to that page under the ‘info’ tab.
2.9 The sixth tab is secure and accessible only by officers. You may still request items from there though. Higher value items should be deposited there for security.
3. CHAT
3.1 Feel free to take part in the guild chat. Type ‘/g’ to join the guild chat channel.
3.2 Please try to keep offensive language to a minimum as there are players of all ages in the guild.
3.3 Do not spam the g chat. It’s annoying and your right to use it may be revoked.
3.4 Do not beg for gold. Everyone hates beggers.
3.4 In parties, use /p to chat. In raids, use /raid and in battlegrounds use /bg.
3.5 Until 9pm time, please keep naughty words and topics for older people to a minimum ;p
4. PROMOTIONS
4.1 Promos will be given to those who earn them. If you take part in chat, help out other guild members, attend guild events, and are generally sociable and friendly, you will quickly be promoted to a higher rank.
4.2 Access to the GV increases with rank.
4.3 The minimum level for each rank is as follows:
Storm Elite: 80. This is a rank for long term, hc-ready level 80s.
Trooper: 60 This is the rank for higher level guild members.
Ember: 20. This rank is for guild members who are still in classic wow levels and who have been in the guild for a period of time and proved that they are worthy.
Firestarter: The first real rank, with the lowest bank access. To gain this rank all you have to do is show up, take part and enjoy the guild.
Firefly: This is the rank you will automatically be added to when you join the guild. It has no bank access to help guard against thieves.
Above Storm Elite are the raid ranks, for the raid teams.
4.4 Reaching the above mentioned levels does not mean you will get the promotion to that rank; they are simply one factor you must fulfill.
4.5 Do not ask for a promotion. You won’t get one for asking and you will just annoy people.
4.6 You will not be demoted without very good reason. Stealing from the GV and abusive behaviour are both reasons for a demo, but are more likely to lead to the removal of a character from the guild.
4.7 If you are Ember rank or higher, and you add an alt to the guild, your alt char will be promoted to Ember rank as soon as they are at the required level.
4.8 We have ranks for raid groups! All three ranks have the same settings and are a useful way to keep the teams together.
5. GUILD RAIDS
5.1 We usually have raids happening most nights from 8:30 realm time (7:30 GMT) but days and times may vary. If you sign up, please show up.
5.2 Guild raids will be added to the calendar up to one week before they take place. Details such as the number of people who can attend and selection process if all turn up will be put in the event description.
5.3 When there is loot in a raid, looting will be done on a MASTER LOOTER setting. The ML will link an item and ask you to link your current item which you wish to replace if you want the loot. You must then link your item in raid chat. The ML will then tell all those who are eligible for the loot to /roll for it. Highest roll wins. Roll only ONCE and when asked to. We do not use a system of dkp or effort points.
5.4 You must arrive, before the raid starting time (not one minute after) with all the reagents, flasks, potions and buff food you will need to maximise your performance.
5.5 Please sort your gear out before coming. Raiding in pvp gear, with a fishing rod equipped, or without proper gems = bad.
5.6 Quitting raids before either the boss is down or the raid leader has decided to call it is a no no. Do this and you won't be invited back.
5.7 Please don't use raid chat to spam tactics or RECOUNT. Listen to the raid leaders instructions, and if there is something you disagree with or are concerned about, this can be communicated to a raid leader with a whisper.
5.8 Buffs happen at 'Buff time'. Please do not ask for them until this time. We're not going to go without them. Similarly there is no need to ever say 'summon plz' or 'rez plz'. We won't go without you and it's kind of obvious that you are dead.
5.9 Never stand in front of the tank unless specifically asked to. (Doesn't apply to Stell).
6. VENTRILO
6.1 It is required for all raids! If you don't have it, you will most likely not be able to join the raids.
6.2 English is the language of the realm, and also the vent, simply because we all understand and speak it.
6.3 Ask any officer for details of vent if you don't have them yet.
6.4 There are many channels on vent. The raid groups each have their own channel and there are also channels for instance groups, arena teams and certain raids.
6.5 Our vent can have 50 people logged in at once. Please feel free to use it whenever you want!
That's all for now...
Even when they are rogue tankz?
