Easy Rules

This is an easy guild with respect to alts on other servers, or mains even, with respect to the amount of time you are on line with us. It is not, however, easy in the sense that you can do whatever you want. We have a set of rules and both new and old members need to play by them. These are our rules:

As a guild we have relatively high standards. High standards considering the skill involved, but even higher standards regarding the social aspects of the game.

We are part of because we like gaming in a friendly community, and because we like raiding. We aim to improve our play as a team as well as as an individual. We have a mature community, this shows in the average age but more so in the behaviour of our members.

members are expected to behave in a friendly, respectful and compassionate way, in other words, as sensible adults. We interact in limited ways (through short text messages and though Vent-channels), we can't see face to face and the difficulty in timing of responses hampers a natural way of relating to each other. We ask of members to take this into account when gaming together.

Be patient. When not clear about another's intentions, ask for an explanation before you respond. Also, we have nights where we wipe, a lot. This is taxing upon the patience of all involved, try and keep a positive and constructive attitude.

Be courteous. This also means that we ask you to refrain from using harsh or indecent language. Someone may take offense, which is plenty reason to be civil. Courtesy is also to let someone finish what he or she is saying over Vent and to try to not interrupt each other. Curtecy is also to arrive in time for a Raid and to be ready and in front of the instance if possible, don't keep people waiting unnecessarily.

Be respectful. Respectful to fellow gamers, but also towards those who try to organize/manage things in . Raid Leaders aim to make a Raid as fun and rewarding as possible for all present. Raid Leading can be stressful at times, try to understand and try to empathize. When your don't agree with decisions being made by either Raid Leaders or Management, let them know, but try to be civil and constructive about it.

members aim to improve upon themselves. This means we should be willing to ask for and receive feedback from other players. This may sometimes feel like negative criticism. Try to have an open mind when receiving feedback, listen to the advice, think it over. Try not to respond in anger or defense immediately.

There is a flip side to this. members should strive to help others improve upon themselves. This involves running an instance or even a battleground with a Guildie to help him or her to get that piece of loot. This also involves giving feedback; when asked for, but also spontaneous. When giving feedback, be it about play or other aspects of the game, assume the other person has given thought to the subject at hand. Try not to be demeaning, but try to be constructive in your imput. Have patience when the recipient appears to take offence and try to explain in a different way what you mean.

Be polite and courteous to non-guildies! You have the tag over your head and you should act accordingly. Don't call players names in BG's - even though they behave insanely stupid - but ignore them instead. Don't spam the trade channel, don't yell insults at someone being annoying, appologize when you accidentally ninja-pulled a quest mob form a fellow gamer in the area, etc...

These guidelines are necessary when we want to make a place where we can all feel at home and enjoy gaming together. Please aim to play by them.

Addendum: Regretfully the following statement has shown to be necessary in the recent past: Threats, racism, bullying, blackmailing and other behaviour that it criminal or borders on it, will absolutely not be tolerated in and will be acted on with severe measures.

Do unto others like you'd have them do unto you.
