| Dedication
A certain level of dedication is required from all members. We do not expect to hear of members applying to join other guilds. If there is an urge to join another guild take the time to leave us before doing so. We respect that all people have different goals!
There is no official guild faction requirement, we now kill any mob that comes our way so be prepared to loose faction.
In general no members should use /anon. Role-play is accepted. We are proud of our guild name and should by no means hide it.
Civil manner
There will always be conflicts in the game. You happen to kill a mob that someone else was camping or was engaging? You take a camp that someone claims to have? Someone starts cussing at you? If the dispute is between you and another player: Avoiding assuming the worst of other fellow players. Lean back some. If the person you are communicating with does not take it in a good way, just let it be. Don’t act out in public. Stay straight. It’s not worth it. Remember that you as an individual represent the guild as a whole. It is always better to take a step back. There will be always be another day to get X mob or Y camp.
If there are conflicting raids: leave it to the raidleaders or to an officer. Never take it on yourself to interfere in the mediation process. It seldom brings a good closure.
Help others not because you want others to help you but because you can. The results of going out of your way to help a guild friend will always be worthwhile you never know you may need help your self, but don't expect people to drop what they are doing ask nicely be friendly and you never know...
Discipline
In the event that one of our members persistently disregards these rules or behaves in some other intolerable manner, an officer will give them a warning. If this warning fails to result in an improvement the High Council will take action depending on the nature of the problem. This might result in a guild remove.
Loot
Loot is done on a points system, basically more raids attended will generate more chances at better loot.
When an item is dropped but no character present requires it, it will become guild property. Items held by the guild bank will be sold to raise guild funds.
It is important to maintain a certain level of guild funds to pay for expenses. For this reason gems dropped on raids will go to the guild bank to be sold to raise funds.
Quest gems will also be held by the bank and will be given out to members in need.
A store of drop spells is kept by the guild and listed on the guild forums. Any guild member may request and receive for free any spell that they need from this list.
Raids
Guild members are expected to try and attend guild raids. For major raids, all guild members are expected to make a big effort to attend.
Currently we run up to 3 major raids a week. Our current raid days are Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. On these days you have to attend if you are online with a WoT tagged character, we have other raids on other days but these are not required attendance unless deemed as a major raid. Please take into account that the more you put into the guild then the more likely you will get help with things such as epics/quests or people even deferring loot in your favour.
Members are expected to stay for the entire duration of the raid. If however you need to come late or leave early take this up with the raid leader in beforehand.
Raid supplementary
Applicants are required to join the wotjoin channel this will allow them to join the current raids and participate in guild groups etc.
If you need a buff, do not ask in ooc, rather request the buff in the appropriate channnel or send a tell directly to the person who can provide it. Buffing classes should coordinate by themselves which buffs they will do.
If you are late on raids you may well miss the full point allocation for the raid please always try your hardest to arrive on time.
Epics / Quests
Members who wish to get their epic weapon, or complete other major quests, should ensure that they have done everything they can towards the quest before requesting help. We do use the raid force to complete an epic, but can if it be done by only requesting help from members it is preferred.
Recruitment
Please see the recruitment forum for our current level requirements.
Proven RL friendship with current WoT member (we need confirmation from related member) simplyfies the recruiting process. More about it at the bottom of "Recruiting process" section.
Recruiting process:
When applying for WoT membership, a post should be made to our "Recruitment" forum. The following info should be posted:
1. Brief introduction
2. Main character's name, class, level & race
3. Significant alts (max. 2)
4. Keys to zones
5. Why would you like to join our guild, what do you expect from us and what are your personal goals in Everquest?
6. A magelo profile is always helpful
After the recruitement post has been made join the wotjoin channel this will keep you up to date on the next raids and available groups. After joining the channel and participating in a few raids you will be tagged. The recruitment process can seem slow please have patience as probation normally takes around 4 weeks this is to allow you to become comfortable in the guild and for us to get to know you.
All guild's rules apply to applicant at this stage and will be treated like a guild member.
Information from your groups and raiding will be posted on the forums and will reflect how you play your class and what type of person you are.
On the final week of probation a vote is held by the members, if requirements are met, probation period ends and you are a full member. If membership is denied, recruiting process ends here and explanation is replied to application through tells or email. Also, any other that might have been involved in this process (RL friend, in-game friend) are given an explanation.
Alts in other Guilds
As a general rule this is disallowed, exceptations can happen, but must always apply to guild which is below WoT in Progression, and playing those alts should not interfere with WoT raid times and events.
Membership of Raidorganizations
It is allowed to be a member of a raidorganization, as long as you do not raid targets on the guild restricted list with the organization, and being a member of an organization should not interfere with WoT raid times and events.
