Guild:Druids Of Old

Druids Of Old [DOO]
This site is a work in progress by a WIKI noob... Sigh, getting it to look the way it should is a pain.

About Us
Druids Of Old has been around since about March 2006 and was formed out of frustration with previous guilds. We started out with two members, Husband & wife. We currently have about ten members however some have become less than regular players. All of our guild members are friendly and helpful, when and if they are on.

Recruitment
Druids Of Old does not actively recruit. It is standard practice that an invitation may be extended to a player only after an officer has played with the prospective new member for a few missions and or quests and that prospective new member expresses dissatisfaction with their current guild or a desire to become part of our guild.

Feel free to whisper Kendra Nightwind with any questions about the guild.

Our Code of Conduct
It is expected that every member of this guild will conduct themselves in a manor that reflects favorably upon the guild as a whole. Members will refrain from any action, inaction or statements that would cause other players either within or without the guild to doubt the intelligence, integrity and honor of any guild member or the guild itself. Officers and members will refrain from: knowingly attempting to defraud (scam) another player, the use of profanity, the use of derogatory comments, spamming (aka flooding) any chat channel, harass or threaten any other player or group of players, begging and whining.

Restrictions on Recruitment Methods
Any officer attempting to actively recruit, via spamming public chat, will be reprimanded, a second occurrence will result in that officer being reduced in rank or ejected from the guild. An exception to this policy may be granted in the event that the officer intends to form a PvP group within the guild or alliance and there are insufficient interested members to form a viable PvP team.

Donation of Faction
Members of this guild will NOT be required to donate faction points to an alliance or to the guild. We will not join an alliance that requires the donation of Faction points or is primarily a PvP alliance. Should an Alliance in which we are member start requiring the donation of faction, we will immediately depart the alliance.

Extended Absences
Any member that has not logged in for three months or longer may be ejected from the guild, unless prior arrangements have been made with the guild leader or an officer and the officer or leader accept the reason for the absence. A few valid reasons for approving an extended absence include attending a school where an internet connection is not available or stable, service in the military and overseas public service such as Peace Corps.

Internal Sales
Sales of items to other guild and or alliance members is allowed.

Equipment Loans
Any and all loans to other guild or alliance members must be reported to an officer.
 * That officer is responsible for recording what the item is and who is loaning the item to whom.
 * The individual that borrows any equipment must understand that they are not to make any modifications to the weapon unless that modification has been approved by the owner and properly recorded by an officer.
 * The original owner of the item retains ownership of the weapon regardless of the value of the modification.
 * The original owner of the item retains ownership until they notify an officer that they are gifting it to borrower.
 * Any item loaned must be returned within two hours of being notified that the owner desires to have the item returned unless there was a prior agreement covering when the item is to be returned.

PvP
The decision to take part in PvP style combat is a personal choice. No member will be forced to partake in such combat. That said, if the player wishes to partake in PvP combat on their own, we (the leadership) will do everything possible to assist that player. We want to encourage our member to assist the PvP players in any way they feel comfortable, including offering equipment if the owner has them to spare.

PvE
PvE has always been the primary focus of the guild leader and the majority of the members.

Faction
With the addition of faction based skills and a desire to explore yet another unexplored aspect of the game, the leaders of this guild have decided to join with the Kurzicks.
