It was 15 years ago that I started my first guild on the Malygos server. It was a VERY successful and proud guild with over 300 members. We raided, worked together, quested together and kept the emo at bay.
Now, 15 years later I am starting what will hopefully be a similar guild. Here are the characteristics:
- We will not allow emotion and personal stuff to interfere with the guild.
- I have a full-time career, and I am guessing many others do too. Thus we will NOT make unreasonable demands upon you, expecting you to raid every night or be playing at strange hours. If playing in this guild starts to interfere with your real life (work, family, spouse, kids, etc.) then you should worry about important things first…and THEN come and play.
- We are weekend-raiders (once we start raiding). Friday nights: YES; Saturday nights: only if you don’t have church on Sunday AM (I do); Sunday nights: YES.
- We do not raid at super-late hours. The LATEST we will raid is 11pm CST. We will try to start our raids no later than 7pm CST.
Expectations
- You are expected to be helpful and considerate first to your guild and second to the rest of the world. Being a jerk isn’t tolerated. Be helpful, kind, supportive, and patient.
- If you say you’re going to help/raid, then show up and help/raid. If plans change, let us know (discord, guild chat, etc.).
- Mind your language in this guild! We may have kids playing and the last thing we need to be doing is encouraging them to use cuss words or filthy talk.
- Use your professions to help the guild as much as you can. There will be a guild bank toon and one of the guildies will manage it.
Rankings
- 1x Guild Master
- 1x Guild Banker
- 2x Guild Overseers
- 4x Raid Organizers
- 4x Event Organizers (quests, meetings, etc.)
- 7x Class Leaders
- Members
- Initiates
Promotion
Initiates are promoted based on either TIME or VALOR:
- Will be promoted after 30 days of regular play and logging in
- May be promoted sooner if the initiate shows great valor (helpfulness to guild, good reputation, etc.)
Regular members may be promoted as well. If you are interested in filling a Class Leader role:
- The Class Leader position must be vacant (or the person in the position has not logged in for more than 30 days)
- You must demonstrate your worth (Playing AT LEAST 4 days a week for AT LEAST 4 hours a day)
- Apply for the position (more to come on this)
The Event Organizer position is open to four players who not only meet the requirements of class leader, but exhibit additional helpfulness, valor, or devotion, and who love to plan and organize things. The Guild Master and Guild Overseers make this decision.
The Raid Leader position is open to four players who love to raid and who are willing and able to recruit players and spend time learning the raids beforehand. By invite only.
The Guild Overseer position is by invite only from the Guild Master. This two persons must have a special relationship with the GM and have his complete trust.
The Guild Banker position is by invite only from the Guild Master. This person must exhibit honesty, trust, and be playing very regularly. The GM or overseers may also have guild bank toons, but this person will be given funds and resources to have a well-stocked guild bank toon. This person is also responsible to make decisions about resources and funds (distributing gold or items to guild members as needed, supplying items to raids as needed, etc.) and work with the guild members to keep the guild bank well-stocked and funded.
PVP
We WILL do PVP, both battlegrounds and world PVP. A separate guild rank for PVPers will be created once we get going with it.
Technology
We will have a guild website of some sort, or some way of online communication outside of the game. Discord is a strong possibility. We will also utilize live chat features in-game, certainly for raids, but anyone is welcome to use it at other times. We will choose the best addon for raid loot and raid scheduling, if necessary. I will also provide a list of the most helpful addons.
Finally,
Guild members from Member up will have invite power! You are encouraged to invite people as much as possible. The initiate promotion requirement will filter out those who aren’t serious about playing and they will be removed.
Please reply to the post if you’re interested in joining or head to discord (discord.gg/84euyz). While this is a Christian guild, we do not discourage anyone from joining, just so long as you heed the expectations and follow the rules.
Again, if you are interested in joining this guild, please reply to this post and leave in your reply your idea for the Guild Name! I honestly cannot remember the name of our guild from 15 years ago (I think Legends of the Alliance), so a new one must be chosen. Leave your idea in your reply. When the game opens on Monday night, I will work very hard to get to level 10 (I think that’s the requirement) so I can start the guild charter. Any questions or comments, please leave them in your reply!
