Guild Rules

We are a team. To enable us to get along like a team we have a few dealing with other people rules that must be followed at all times:

• BE POLITE: Using words like 'hello', 'please', and 'thank you' are common courtesy. Members will be kicked out of the guild if they are rude, unpleasant, or harassing to others.
• BE ACTIVE: Inactive players will be kicked from the guild. To maintain active status use your stamina to hunt xp at least once a week. LEVELING IS MANDATORY: we require at least one level per week for anyone under 30 million xp to the guild.
• BE PREPARED TO JOIN GROUPS: Join every group unless the member creating it specifically says not to.
• Know and follow the game rules.

DO NOT beg for fsp or gold or items. Ever.

DO NOT swear, curse, or use language you would not use in front of your seventy year old nun aunt in chat.

DO NOT use multiple accounts. If we catch you we report you to HCS.

• DO NOT attack any member of a guild ally or disrespect allied guild members. Ever.
• DONATIONS: we don't require specific mandatory donations but we do expect everyone to help support our guild structures.

All items, gold, and fsp donated to the guild are guild property & will not be returned even if you leave.

some few members are required to provide Akita with fully forged beer and crispy snacks when requested.

• BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHER MEMBERS:

DO NOT ask for buffs you can cast on yourself. Ever.

DO NOT ask for buffs you don't need. Be specific about what you need: 'buffs please' is not specific. 'buff me baby' is also not specific and if used toward certain female members of the guild will result in getting kicked from the guild.

• DO NOT recall equipped gear from active members. Ever. Active = has been online within 7 days.
• ALWAYS return [shared gear] to the guild store before you go offline.
• READ THESE RULES & KNOW WHAT THEY ARE - seems simple but yes we require you to do this.

Shared Gear

Shared Gear is a short list of items that are available for all guild members to use. We require this gear be in the store before you go offline. Ignoring this rule will result in you finding a new guild to call home.

Guild vs Guild

We are not currently active in starting GVG conflicts. We do participate in incoming conflicts if we can force the attacking guild to miss. Our Rules for GVG:

• ASK FIRST before joining GVG.
• ALWAYS look before you hit. The easiest way to force a miss is to buff a target while someone's attacking.
• ALWAYS pay attention to GVG if you are active in PVP: if you attack someone on the bounty board that is in a guild with conflict active it WILL count as joining the conflict. One miss = we lose.

REMEMBER: Each conflict lasts for 24 hours so there's no reason to rush into an attack unprepared. Our best chance to win is to think things through properly.

If you are in the guild & interested in participating talk to Akita, Dragon, Insane or Iseult; we are actively looking for people interested.

We do not currently pay for gvg wins; we also do not charge for gvg losses.

PVP

There are a number of people out there who consider attacking people for attention and the joy of stealing gold the most fun they've had in years. Do yourself a favor & realize this is part of the game.

There are also guilds that not only allow thievery but encourage it then back & protect their members quite zealously. They are not afraid of losing 5 levels and could care less what you say or do in retaliation to an attack.

We do not support PVP players. If you are attacked as retaliation for your own PVP attack or from you hitting someone on the bounty board you are on your own. If its an ally you're out of the guild.

If you leave more than 50k gold on hand expect to get attacked for it.

If you have more than 100k gold on hand expect to get attacked for it as soon as you go offline.

All of us are concerned about protecting and keeping our own gold. If you haven't figured out a way to protect it PM Dragon or Raven and we will tell you our little trick.

• If you are attacked contact with your attacker should always be courteous. If you want your gold back ask nicely. Remember your actions reflect on all of us.

• If you are attacked 3 or more times from the same person and have the logs to show then send them to Dragon1329 and he will help set up a de-level party on the attacker.You must have been hit 3 or more times. 1-2 hits you should set up your own bounty and post it if you wish but allies will not be notified. If you get hit more than that from the same person contact myself or a guild leader. Save your LOGS! Keep copies in your note book.

Do yourself and the guild a favor and wear an offline attack or defensive set, this is easy to come by as most common items you find during your hunt will yield good defensive numbers. If you need help finding gear - ASK - several of us are always willing to help.

The Order of Knights

• Bounties (Bounty Parties): As allies, we wil notify each other of bounties. This means that if we place a bounty on the board, we will notify our allies so they can participate in the bounty. If we are placing the bounty for purposes of deleveling a player, our allies will help with 100 stam hits, and will use only 9 attacks so the bounty stays up as long as possible. If it is just a general bounty, then they have the option of how much stam to use.
• Bounties (our members): If any of our members are on the bounty board, our allies agree to use only 10 stam hits. The person taking the bounty has the option of returning gold. It is up to the individual player. We will do the same. This is the one exception allowed for the rule that prohibits attacks on members of allied guilds.
• Attacks on members - We will not attack the members of any of our ally guilds. We expect the same in return. In the event this happens, it is expected that all gold stolen gets returned, and compensation for lost XP gets returned as well (at a cost of 10 gold per point of xp lost). The gold will be given to the player who lost gold and/or experience points.
• GvG - As allies, we will not enter into GvG competitions with each other.
• Relics: Relics held by allies are fair game for attack.
• Kicked members - If a member of our guild is kicked, we will notify our allies of the name of the kicked player AND the reason why they were kicked. We expect the same in return from our allies. Additionally, if there is a known scammer on the boards (stealing buffs, gold, etc), then we will notify our allies of this fact, and expect the same in return.
• Buffing: We are under no obligation to buff our allies for free. It is up to each individual member to buff when requested by allies. Some may give free buffs, some may give discounts to their posted prices, and some may charge full price. This is up to the individual buffer.
• Gear: We do not share our gear with allies.
• VIOLATIONS: If an allied guild violates any of these terms, we have the right to terminate the alliance immediately.

If a member of an allied guild violates these rules and hurts any of our players, we will hit that player with a delevel party. The Druids Keep protects its own players, and regularly hits our enemies as retribution (they lose 5 levels). We have zero tolerance for allies that break our alliance rules.

If we retaliate against a member of an allied guild and any other member of that guild strikes back at us for our action, then we will declare an all-out war on your guild, and all your members will be subject to attack.
