Guild Rules & Information

First of all, can we stress that this is an adult guild, run by and for the adult players of World of Warcraft.  That doesn't mean that we refuse to allow younger players to join - we are happy to have younger members as long as they can obey the few rules that we have and can act in an appropriate manner.  Just be aware that, from time to time, the conversation can be of a more adult nature (current affairs, relationships, etc).

First rule of the guild ... be nice!!  It is up to you how much you interact with other guild members.  You can be a lone player, someone who likes to just pop in for a chat or a highly active member.  We do ask, however, if you do join in the guild chat that you do so in a considerate manner.  Persistent "offenders" risk being being kicked from the guild.

We do not allow begging - being in the guild does not give you the right to demand money/goods or even time/services off other players (this includes begging for "boosts").  This includes begging via "whispers"!

We DO NOT condone abusive or offensive behaviour (although bear in mind that  "offensive behaviour" can mean different things to different people), nor do we condone any action that may be frowned upon by Blizzard (basically, anything that tries to work-around the controls they have put in place, such as botting, conversing with the Alliance, account sharing, etc).

Please be considerate when playing and chatting with other guild members - if you wouldn't say something in real life to a stranger, face to face, then it isn't likely that it would be acceptable in the guild either ...

Alts (alternate characters) are welcome in the guild - please just let us know so that we can place a note in the Guild Roster. 

Information on how to access the guild chat channels can be found in the forum here.

Ranks and Promotions

The guild ranks are, in order from lowest to highest: Pup, Cub, Juvenile, Wolf, Grey Wolf, Beauwolf, Beta and Alpha.

Alpha is the Guild Leader and Beta is the "officer" rank. Beauwolf is a rank reserved for "alts" of the Beta members, and was created in memory of a well loved member of the guild, Beauvine, who sadly died after a tragic accident.

When you are first invited into the guild, you will be placed in the Pup rank - a probationary trial ranking where you get to see if the guild is where you want to be.  If you are happy to continue on in the guild after two weeks, there are no objections from more senior members of the guild, and you have been active for a reasonable time during that two weeks, then you will be promoted to a Cub.  After that, any promotions will be earned through activities within the guild - helping other members, taking part in guild chat, etc.

The main benefits to promotion include increasing access to items in the vault and additional areas of the website becoming available.  The Grey Wolf rank is reserved for members of the guild who have previously attained the Wolf rank, and have reached the level cap.

When you are first invited into the guild, you are expected to play that character at least a few times in the first two "trial" weeks ... should any character be invited into the guild but then not come online for 14 days or more, they will risk being removed from the guild unless they give prior notification (for example, if they are going on holiday, etc).  Any guild member from a rank of Cub upwards have an increased inactivity period of one month - if after a month, without prior notice, a member has not been active, they can be removed from the guild roster without warning.

Officers who fail to come online for an extended period of time without prior notice risk demotion to Wolf/Grey Wolf rank after a period of two months.  After that they are liable to the same removal rules as all other members of the guild.

Should you have problems getting into WoW for a long period of time for any reason, you can contact us through the "Contact Us" e-mail address to let us know, where we can put a hold on your characters removal, or simply leave a message on the forum.

Returning Members

Any members who leave (for whatever reason) and wish to return, must first contact an Alpha or Beta of the guild for permission to re-join.  We reserve the right to refuse reinstatement into the guild without explanation (although usually it is fairly obvious!).  Should a returning member join without the permission of an Alpha or Beta they risk the possibility of removal from the guild without warning.

If you have had a name change or wish to bring in an Alt, please let us know.

Any returning members will  join at the Pup rank again and will be treated as any other new member in respect of promotions, access to banks, etc.

Recruiting New Members

We do not "advertise" for new recruits, and do not generally recruit those who are asking in Trade or other channels for a guild.  If you are approached with a request to join from a potential new member, please ask them to check out this website first, specifically these rules, and to apply via our application form on this site.  

Should you wish to invite a friend or family member to the guild, ask them to check out this site first, then an officer can invite them on the strength of your recommendation. 

If a current member wishes an Alt character to join, we have no limit to Alt numbers, although Alts will be treated the same way as all other characters as far as promotions are concerned (with the exception of Beta Alts).  If you add an Alt to the guild, please ensure your "Main" character name is shown in the notes.

We currently have no age limit for new recruits, however, please explain that we are an adult guild and expect new members to act accordingly - those wishing to join who are under 16 would probably not find the guild suitable for their needs.

Generally, most new recruits are gained through word-of-mouth, ie, friends/family of those already in the guild, or those who have enjoyed questing/PUGing with members.

Requests for Help

Please be considerate in your requests for help.  Members are encouraged to help each other, primarily by giving advice on the Guild Chat channel.

Please bear in mind that all quests other than dungeon and "group" quests should be doable by a lone character.  If you find one too difficult, either ask for hints in Guild Chat, check one of the helpful websites or simply leave it for another day.  Other members of the guild may volunteer to help, especially if they have a character of the same level/with the same quest, but please don't expect others to drop everything - bear in mind that, whilst you are questing, it is more than likely others are too.

If you need help with an instance or group quest, please just make a request in the open guild channel or use the Calendar to organise something for a future date.  Please DO NOT whisper people individually begging for help - this makes people feel uncomfortable and less likely to want to help.  Again, please don't expect others to drop everything - most people are not just stood around waiting for something to do but are busy with their own characters.

You are more likely to get help if you have previously helped others - either doing quests with others or simply giving advice on the Guild Chat channel.

The Guild Bank

We have all tabs in the Guild Vault, these being for various materials (split into two sections), patterns/recipes, armour and weapons, potions and buff foods, etc.  The final tab is for high value items.

Please note that Pups can donate to the banks, but cannot withdraw.  All ranks after that have increasing access to the vault.  Please don't request items from sections of the vault that you do not have access to.

The guild is happy to accept donations which can be deposited in the relevant slots in the Vault (or if you do not have access to the relevant slot, you can either mail to an officer rank with a request to place in the correct slot, or place in a tab you can access, for future movement).  If you can access the relevant tabs, please deposit items in the correct place!

Please don't donate grey items, bandages, non-buff foods or items that can be easily purchased off most vendors - these will only reduce space in the vault for more useful items.

We are happy to accept items that you have made, but please only deposit one or two of any specific item to reduce clogging up of the banks.

Please note that, especially for the "Armour" tab of the guild vault, there is a "system" in place that is monitored regularly - please feel free to add/remove items as necessary, but resist the temptation to rearrange items already there unless you are fully aware of the system.  The bank vault takes a lot of time and effort to keep organised and we therefore take a dim view of anyone increasing that load!

NOTE: The guild bank vault is just that, a bank vault for the benefit of members of the guild.  Please DO NOT remove items from the vault to benefit other characters not in the guild, or for resale.  All items withdrawn by a member must be for the sole benefit of that member (or the guild), either something that member will wear or utilise in some way personally.  If you are unsure, please ask prior to withdrawal.

The Website

We recommend that all members of the guild fully sign up to the website - instructions on how to do this can be found on the forums here.  We also recommend that members visit the website and forums on a regular basis - any news, updates or useful information will be posted here, often on a daily basis.  The more members who access and post on the website, the more useful it will become to all members.

Complaints

Should you have a grievance, please let one of the Officers or the Guild Leader know, either by whisper or via the in-game mail system.  We understand that in guilds there will often be misunderstandings or problems ... a lot of these can be resolved simply by checking this website for information or by letting us know - being an Alpha/Beta does NOT make us all knowing and we will occasionally miss things or make mistakes, so please don't take it to heart, we're friendly folk, honest!

On the other hand, should we get a lot of complaints about one particular individual, depending on the offence/perceived offence, we may just have a chat, or we may just simply remove the individual from the guild. 

Removal from the Guild

There are various reasons for being removed from the guild, the usual one being that your character simply has not been active enough (see above).  Generally characters will be allowed to stay in the guild for a number of months of inactivity prior to being removed, although strictly speaking a Pup who has not been online for over two weeks, or any other rank for over a month, risks removal.  A warning will usually be issued one or two weeks prior to removal, both in-guild and on the website.  Once members are removed due to inactivity, another notice will be made on this website, in the "News" section.

Any other removals from the guild will usually be simply because of a member not adhering to our rules.  Please read them carefully.  They are not difficult, and there are not many of them, but claiming a lack of knowledge is not a good enough excuse.  Most members will be given at least one warning, often more, prior to removal - either via guild chat, whisper or an in-game mail.

If you have been removed from the guild and are unsure why, please contact either the guild leader or an officer (Beta).  It should, however, have been explained to you and be obvious why it has happened.  If you have been removed from the guild, please note that it was NOT done lightly, there WILL have been a good reason for it, and if we receive complaints that you are annoying members of the guild because of it, you will be reported to Blizzard and run the risk of your account being banned.
