Guild Header

We are a guild of players with mature attitudes that work together in and out of quests, helping each other whenever we can.  

We are a family guild with members that span all age ranges, including many husband/wife and parent/child teams that play together. For these reasons, member language is expected to be clean and civil during all times on party and guild chat as well as over any form of voice chat.

In order to maintain a positive and fun environment for all members, we have a set of guild guidelines that all members must follow. They are simple and easy to understand and can help everyone to have a good time. They are:

  1. Every member must register on the forums and ensure that all of their characters that are currently in the guild are listed in their signatures. You can access the forums from a link on the main guild website or by using this one: http://holywarriors.libertydave.com/forum.
  2. All character in the guild must be active. That is they must at least log in every three weeks. If a character shows in a guild roster that they have not logged in for over three weeks they may be removed from the guild. We know that there are and may be exceptions. If you are going to be away (or there is a possibility of you being called away without notice), you are having computer issues, or any other reason for not logging a character in, please let the guild leader or another officer know so your character(s) will not be removed.
  3. Once you have attained enough levels to qualify for the next guild, you must seek out a sponsor and request on the forums for promotion to the next level.
  4. Guild Quests – Guild quests are guild sponsored quests that are scheduled by one of our event coordinators and will be clearly titled as a guild quest in the events sections and the calendar on the guild forums. There is currently no requirement for anyone to attend these quests, but they are a lot of fun!
  5. Guild Dues - When on Guild sponsored quests, each member on the quest is required to contribute one item obtained while on the quest, or money equivalent.  It doesn’t matter what the item is, as long as it of monetary value.  It is the guild member’s choice of what he/she gives. The purpose behind the dues is so that there will always be money available to the guild for needed items. If the quest has multiple advancements, an item should be given after each advancement.
  6. Guild Storage/Banks – Each of the three sub-guilds have officers that are tasked with storing items for the guild. The officer titles are: Weapons Master (storage), Armor Master (storage), Misc. Items Master (storage), and Banker/Coin Lord. The “storage/bank” is not your personal bank. Items that are given to the guild will be offered on the forums on a first come first serve basis. Those items that are not claimed will be sold or given away at various Holy Warriors events.
  7. Grievances/Problems with other guild members or guild officers:

·        Try to talk and work out any differences between disputing members without mediation from other guild members first.

Things to remember about our guild:

Ø      The guild is looking for leaders to assume officer postions and duties. We are not looking for pushy, overbearing individuals.

Ø      The guild is looking for members that get along well with their guild mates, not members who beg, are constantly causing problems, constantly complaining, or constantly trying to show up their fellow guild mates.

Ø      The guild is looking for individuals that can mesh well with a team and have fun while clearing Xen’drik of its problems.

Joining the guild

Joining the Holy Warriors guild is relatively simple. You will need to seek out officers for the guild and follow the steps outlined below.

For characters that are levels 1 – 5. The goal of the Holy Warriors is to create a strong diverse group of guild mates that will continue through the advancement stages and establish a solid foundation for each character to help them become members in Devoted Acolytes. 

This guild has an open recruiting policy. Anyone between 1st and 5th level may join the Holy Warriors. Many of our long standing members keep characters at these levels to help those that are new to the game. All you need to do to join is:

  1. Find and officer and ask them. The best way to do this is add a few of them to your friends list in-game.

When characters reach 6 level or higher they will need to find a sponsor and request initiation into the guild on the guild forums.

For characters that are levels 6 – 10.  The goal of the Holy Warriors is to create a strong, diverse group of guildmates that will continue through the advancement stages and build comraderie that will make this guild a united, fun guild that can take anything the world of Xen’drik hands us. The Holy Warriors gives characters of middle levels the chance to develop and grow within a tightknit group of guildmates while they advance in levels.

For characters that are levels 11-14. The goal of the Holy Warriors is to provide a friendly environment for members to feel a sense of community and belonging.

In order to join the Holy Warriors guild at levels 6 - 16, you must have a sponsor. Anyone who is a member of the Holy Warriors may sponsor an initiate into the Holy Warriors.

The Sponsorship process:

The sponsorship process in not a difficult one and is outlined below.

  1. When your character reachs 6th  level or higher, go the the guild forums and post a request for a sponsor. There are many people who watch the forums for new players, so finding a sponsor is really easy.
  2. If your character (or any alts) are not a member of the Holy Warriors guild, you will need to find one or more of our guild members and run a few quests with them. You can post in our public forums and we will look for you in game. Once you have quested with us and your play style fits the way we play (as well as our play style matches your expectations) you will have no problem getting a sponsor.
  3. You must read the guild guidelines and agree to follow them.
  4. You must register on the forums and list all characters that are in the Holy Warriors Guild in your signature.
  5. Your sponsor must post on the forums that they are going to be your sponsor.
  6. After a two to four week period in which we ask that you quest with as many guild members as you can, a vote will be taken on the member’s status in the guild. The vote will be open to all full guild members and is mostly anonymous, though guild leaders will have access to the list of how each member voted. Initiates will not be able to see the vote. The vote will consist of three choices:
    1. Promote to full guild status.
    2. Remove this initiate from the guild.
    3. Extend this members initiate status two week
    4. I have not quested with this initiate
  7. The officers of The Holy Warriors Guild will then discuss the results and determine the initiate’s status within the guild. The decision will have one of the following results:
    1. The initiate is given full guild member status
    2. The initiate is determined to be problematic for the guild and removed from any guild roster in the game.
    3. It is determined that the initiate did not adequately fulfill the expectations to quest with fellow guild members or another problem has come up that prevents the initiates promotion, but there is not sufficient reason to remove the member from the guild rosters. In this case, initiate status will be extended for another two weeks, after which another vote will be held.

Once you have been voted a member in full standing, all your other character only have to request to be moved up. The do not need a sponsor as you have already proven that you are a good guild member. If you have any questions about this process, please feel free to ask any of the officers or post your questions on the forums.

Guild Quests

Guild quests are guild sponsored quests that are scheduled by one of our event coordinators and will be clearly titled as a guild quest in the events sections and the calendar on the guild forums. When on a guild quest (as well as questing with guild members) we utilize the following guidelines:

  1. While in a quest environment, the team leader has total authority.  Live or die by the team leader commands
  2. The team's marching orders are directed by the Team Leader. No running ahead.
  3. Do not turn levers, open doors (secret or otherwise), enter rooms, or open chests with out the Team Leader’s permission.
  4. Giving or sharing items is encouraged with in the questing group and guild.  The better equipped everyone is, the better chance of survival and success.
  5. The Guild leader does NOT have authority over a Team Leader during a quest.  After the quest, the Guild Leader can take grievances, but not during the quest.  Even an Admiral must bow to a Captain on the Captain’s ship.

Guild Raids

1. There will only be two official guild sponsored raids per month. These raids will posted each month by either the guild leader or the raid coordinator. (Tempest Spine is not considered a raid for these purposes.)

For better communication and scheduling, all non guild sponsored raids that are posted here on the forums must be posted by the guild leader or raid coordinator, who has confirmed with the guild leader(s) that there are no conflicts with other scheduled activities. If you would like to schedule a raid, please contact the appropriate guild raid coordinator or post your request in the "Request a Raid" board. These non sponsored raids will not be an official guild raid so there will be no guild funds available.

(Note: This does not mean that you can not put together spur-of-the-moment raids, or plan one on your own through in-game communication, PMs, or any other way. We are attempting to reduce scheduling conflicts and confusion surrounding the posting of raids on these forums.)

2. In order to sign up for the official guild sponsored raid, you MUST BE raid ready. This means that you must have all prerequisites completed before you can be added to the list. Hopefully this will stop all the last minute pre-raid activities that seems to cause stress, conflict and postponements. Since there will be only two guild sponsored raids a month and we will post them well in advance, there will plenty of time to get ready and get your name on the list.

3. The guild sponsored raids will not be on a first come first served basis. We will attempt to include all who are ready and sign up in the raids. (IE if we get 20 members signed up we will split into two groups of 10 and go at it twice.) With this we hope to eliminate the times when people have been left out. If we do not get enough people signed up to successfully field two groups, then the raid coordinator will decide who will make up the raid party depending on the party needs.
