[WIP] Guild Guidelines and Goals

Rules

These rules may seem a bit overwhelming at first but its just all about control, professionalization and order. I think all the rules are reasonable.
In the end remember that there is no disadvantage into joining a guild, but loads of advantages only!
-EXP buff will always be on.
-Guild storage provides with extra storage.
-Interesting items available in the guild storage.

Activity
-Recruits are kicked after 21 days offline.
-Members are usually kicked after 28 days offline.
I will judge Senior and Veterans personally.
Be mindful that there can be exceptions, in any case.
If you have a Sub account then Its important that you edit the about me info at the members tab in the guild window (Ingame). I cannot remember which sub account belongs to which person!
Should a situation come up where you cant come online for a certain period, just notify me, through an PM or ingame mail (yes the ingame mail system works actually pretty cool!)
*It is okay to just log in and instantly log out*



Ranks & Promotions
Recruit:
-Gets guild bonuses like EXP buff.
Any starting member.
Member:
-Gets guild bonuses like EXP buff.
-Are less likely to be kicked in case of inactivity
-Can solicitate for Senior Guild Membership
Recruits who have stayed in the guild for about 1/2 weeks and have shown a decent level of activity will be promoted to Members eventually. If you do not get this promotion and have been in the guild for a long time you're doing something wrong. You have to express yourself a bit more through the guild chat or guild parties or just generally be a bit more active and talkative!
Senior Guild Member
-Gets guild bonuses like EXP buff.
-Can access Guild Storage and interact with 100 items per week.
-Can invite other people to the guild.
This promotion is not automatically given after a certain period of time, you have to deserve and earn it!
*At this moment you can also apply for it since I can use the extra help*
Veteran
-Gets guild bonuses like EXP buff.
-Can access Guild Storage and interact with 1000 items per week.
-Can invite other people to the guild.
-Can kick people from the guild.
-Can take gold from Guild storage.
So far I'm only handing this Rank out to my Real Life Friends. You'l need my absolute trust to receive this rank since you'l be able to kick people from the guild.



Main and second/sub accounts
All Members are allowed to have up to 3 characters in the guild, per person
Its important that you edit the about me info at the members tab in the guild window (Ingame).
I cannot remember which sub account belongs to which person!
*Inactive Subs may be kicked, but when possible this will always be discussed*


Level requirement
We do NOT have a level requirement although I prefer that members who join are at least lvl 10.
Lower level members are more easily disposed in the case of inactivity though. Higher level members may get a little bit more time. This is because with high lvl chars you have shown that you are committed to the character at least. Low lvl chars usually end up deserted


Behavour
We expect you to be nice and decent to other people in-game.
-Scammers will be kicked!
-Spammers will be warned then kicked if no improvement.


guild storage *Updated*
From now on only Seniors/Veterans can access guild storage. If you want anything from the guild storage you're gonna have to ask us.
*Gold can not be taken from the guild storage except by me and Veterans, but feel free to donate gold <3


Boosting
I'l be clear from the start.
I'm not gonna boost members. (on a regular basis)
Be realistic, no one wants to boost other players, they have their own business to attend to as well.
If someone is boosting you that person is not progressing.
You can join the guild and enjoy the EXP buff, guild chat atmosphere, and eventually storage, but that's it. I'm not gonna boost you because you just joined.
We get new members almost every day, do you think I have time to hand out boosts for all newcomers every day ?
Characters @ lvl 70 spend 200 BP per abyss dungeon below lvl 70.
Also i'm not constantly switching from apprentice's.
But!
I'm willing to boost only if you/we can manage to form a party of 4 guild members (me included)
So we get the additional guild exp
So in short :
Don't ask for boosts, ask for party's!

Current Status
At the moment we have :
A lvl 14 guild with 100 members.
I'd say we are a mid-class guild at the moment and should continue the way we are heading slowly, but stable to being a top/well-known and respected Guild.

Status Update
In 4 weeks time we went from lvl 14 to lvl 17
From ±100 to ±120 membes.
Cleared EDN.

Short-Term Plans :
-Clear Mare Oblivion HC.
-Clear Emerald Dragon HC
-Promote 2 Members to Senior Guild Member.

I'm posting a threat on Dragonnest.eu Forums about our guild, once we reach level 20!

I've Noticed that a few members where overwhelmed by massive newly recruited members past days. So I'm Will not actively seek for new recruits until Saturday. To give the Guild some stability and have people getting used to each other. So we are in a cooling-down Period for 3 days.

In the following week we went from ±120 members to ±140 DESPITE the fact that I had announced a recruit cooldown, somewhat.

We cleared SDN and EDN HC @ Sunday both.
Big achievements, we clearly are moving forward and clearing these nests gets easier and more fluent over time.

Unfortunately we have not been able to Promote 2 members to Seniors yet.
I've talked to Jack about this and will be engaging some of the more active members personally about this.


Current goals :
-Promote 2 Members to Senior Guild Member.
-Practice DDN
-Clear Anu Arendel’s Ordeal Nest with 6
-Clear Mist Nest with 4
-Clear Guardian Nest with 4
(repeat EDN/SDN @ will)

The Current State (As of April 2015)
At the moment we are, Still growing,
But we are also dealing with some kind of setback.
Some of our important members, went inactive or left.

Current Inactive Important Members:
-Sivelle
-Quackswag
-Sejin
-Mirtos
-Jack
-Grafiter
-Creeperreaper
-Yokiatsu
-Raiking
-Blazzing
-D007 (Left)

As long we don't need Member space, I'm keeping them in the Guild. I always believe that some of them will come back. And they are worth more than any new recruit, the chance of the new recruit being as important as them is lower than the chance of them coming back.

The current focus should be on keeping recruiting.
And just hope we will be lucky to recruit members like them.
We had a good DDN/Memoria Practice yesterday.
And some of the new members are finally starting to put themselves into the spotlight.

So in other words, We need some fresh wind again, and I expect Jack, QuackSwag, Sejin, Grafiter and Blazzing to get back in action eventually at least. Once they do, with the addition of 2/3 new good/active/high lvl recruits, we will be a force to be recon with ^^

At the moment things are looking pretty good for us :

Veterans Sejin and QuackSwag have returned to the game.
Jack Should be comming back soon.

The comming patch will allow us to really practise DDN well, so that should be our primairy focus from now on.

With the current Dragon Hunting events and the Upcomming lvl 80 patch (Farewell Lvl 70 Event)

Guild Raids are currently set on a lower priority level during these events.
We'l use these events to practise both DDN and BDN and will have a serious attempt on DDN after the dragon hunting event is over.
