Code of Conduct

This is the Code of Conduct for the guild. If you agree to these terms and complete the application process, contact a guild officer in game for a guild invite. This code may be modified at a later time due to membership growth.

1. No exploiting. By exploiting we mean the use of a bug more than once after discovery. All known bugs must be reported to Blizzard and posted on the forum. Any use of the bug after that is exploiting, pure and simple.
2. No griefing. Griefing is the intentional and continual destruction of another player's gaming experience. If someone griefs one of our members, greifing back is not acceptable. Just give the details to a guild officer.
3. Never charge a guildmate a fee for any item that is meant for personal use. Components and/or resources, if the guildmate can supply them, are acceptable. Silver should never be charged.
4. No kewl talk or profanity. This goes for Guild chat as well as regular chat. We understand that people slip from time to time, so we are talking about a noticeable pattern of behavior.
5. Everyone is expected to be a team player. This guild is not just a chatroom, we work as a team. This means participation in some guild events is expected. Guild events will be posted on forums.
6. Those that participate in PvP, do so with honor.
7. Have fun!! This world has a lot to offer. Enjoy it.

Guild Rules

1. Alts are strongly encouraged to join the guild. Please set notes on the guild tab in game to denote alts, and list them on this thread as well.
2. No divided loyalties. Alts are not permitted to join other guilds. Alts ARE permitted to be in both the Alliance and Horde side, but both with our guilds.
3. We are a RP guild. This will be be enforced. Please try to respect those around you. Since we are on a RP server we want everyone else to have fun too.
4. All members are expected to help in whatever way their character can. This can be done by crafting items for guild members, helping with quests etc. We want to make the game fun for all members.
5. If an issue arises that requires immediate attention, then the highest ranked member of leadership has full authority to deal with the situation. In all situations, the guildmaster has the final say.
6. All members are required to be registered on the guild forums and supply a valid e-mail address. As a member, you are also required to be up to date on the content of boards. This only takes couple minutes before logging in. Not knowing is not an excuse.

Additional Rules

1. No guild member may speak ill of or in any way defame the glorious class of Warlock.
2. No guild member may speak ill of or in any way defame the glorious Gnomes.
3. Gnomish is the official guild language.
