All members should get familiar with the guild rules and be aware of how the Emerald Knights operate. the Guild Rules listed below are not all inclusive there may be some things missing, therfore it is your responsibility to judge whether or not your actions will be tolerated or not.

Also take note that though it may look like we have a lot of rules its really not. The Guild Leadership does acknowledge that this is a game and boot camp. We know how to choose our battles and will address each individual situation individually.

Guild Rules are subject to change from time to time, however the guild will not be notified of it unless its a major change. Therfore it is the responsibility of each individual member to keep themselves up to date on things that may have changed

GUILD ACTIVITY

As we are trying to maintain an active guild and not a parking lot for the Alts of Frostwolf players will only be accepted to the guild on there main character. Once accepted to the guild players must remain active with the guild. Anyone who goes offline for 30 or more days will be subject to immediate removal from the guild. If your going to be offline for unusually long period of time please let a Templar know so that they make a note of it. Any character offline for 6 months or more will be subject to immediate removal from the guild no matter what the reason. Members removed for inactivity will usually be welcome back if they reapply.

RESPECT

All Emerald Knights members are expected to treat others respectfully at all times; this includes non-guildies the way one conducts themself while wearing the Emerald Knights guild tag reflects not just upon yourself but the entire guild.

Just because somebody else is a jerk does not give you the right to be a jerk. In short if you don't like someone avoid them if thats not possible ignore them.

If you have a problem with another guildie, whether it be a respect issue or not please do not hesitate to let a Templar or the High Templar know wether it be through an in-game mail, a private message in the forums, or an in game whisper. We are always here to help.

Please note that we may require proof before taking any kind of disciplinary action. Therefore it would be best if you have a screenshot ready to submit via private message in the forums

Failure to be respectful to others may result in disciplinary action up to and including immediate removal from the guild.

GUILD CHAT

Every member has guild chat priveleges and as such there are a few guidlines that all members must follow in order to ensure guild harmony

• Foul launguge of in any form will not be tolerated. though you may only be joking there are others who will not find your remarks humerous. Remember World of Warcraft is a game of many players from many different backgrounds (foul language includes but is not limited to)
  • Racism
  • Sexual Remarks
  • Attacking the religious beliefs of others
  • Attempting to force your religious opinions on others
  • Swearing
• Low levels players are not to harrass high level players for help if they say no let it go.
• Maintain a mature and respectful attitude in guild chat
• If you see others fighting in guild chat and theres not a Templar online take a screen shot and stay out of it. Dont stir the pot.

Those who don't abide this may be demoted to silent or depending on the severity be removed from the guild (Note: Racism or Sexism whether joking or not, will not be tolerated under any circumstances and will result and immediate removal from the guild.)

GUILD FORUMS

The forums serve as the guilds main line of communication anything and everything WoW related is discussed here we ask that all members stay active in the forums and check in on them from time to time to see whats going on. Occasionally there will even be an important announcement placed in the forums.

We ask that you keep the forums a fun and clean place for all to enjoy drama is not welcome. Any issues you would like to have adressed by the officers may be posted in our Grievances Forum. the Grievances Forum is a place were you can make the officers aware of your guild related issues and concerns. Personal attacks are not to be made here. Any isssues you have with anothe player should be adressed in a private message or in-game mail to Calmos, you may also send a whisper to any officer online.

VENTRILO

Emerald Knights has a Ventrilo Server that is available to all guild members. Guild Ventrilo Policy is simple and for the most part is the same as Guild Chat rules with a few additions.

• During guild events such as raids, please keep the chatter to a minimum as this holds up progress
• If you login to vent and see members in other channels feel free to join them, however if they are running an instance please do not create chatter as it may hinder there chances for success
• If you log into a channel and find that other players are holding an important private conversation please resepct there privacy and step out of the channel (conversations with or between officers will always take place in a private locked channel)
• Be corteous and do not tie up vent by binding music or noise in the channels

As are guild Ventrilo server is currently extremley limited in the number of people it can support we ask that members not give out our server information. As the guild grows we will expand our Ventrillo server and friends of guildies may be welcome to join us in vent,

If a member fails to abide by these rules discipliary actions may result such as; being globally muted, kicked from the server, banned from the server, or depending on the severity removal from the guild.

GUILD BANK

Please feel free to deposit anything that you wish to contribute to the guild. as long as it has some value. "The guild bank is not a warehouse in which to store your random crap." Any such items will be immediately removed.

Please note that once you deposit something it becomes the property of the Emerald Knights and may be disenchanted, sold, and or vendored at the discretion of the Templar.

If you see something in the guild bank that you want please inform an Templar.

All members squire rank and up have access to the first bank tab. Only a Templar has access to the second and third tab If you would like something please inform a Templar and we will see what we can do. Generally Pages will get something from the bank only if nobody else wants it. This prevents players from joining the guild getting what they need out of the bank and leaving. Items will be handed out based on need as determined by the Templar, and your reputation with the guild.

Currently we only have three available tabs. Any monetary contributions towards the next three are greatly appreciated.

All requests for items in the guild bank should be made via the guild bank forum. The Templars will review your request and get back to you within 48 hours with there decision.

Only Calmos may withdraw gold from the bank at this time if you need money please send an in-game mail and he will see what he can do to help you. We are however trying to purchase the remaining 3 bank tabs so gold hand outs will be limited.

Tab 1 - (Treasure Chest) All generic items can be found in this tab

Tab 2 - (Professions) You will find all profession related items in this tab.

Tab 3 - (Request) You will find items of unusually high value in here to get something from this tab you must submit a request Note you will also find high level potions in this tab these will not be given out as we are stocking up for raids

Tab 4 - (Unavailable) Cost to purchase is 1000 gold

Tab 5 - (Unavailable) Cost to purchase is 2500 gold

Tab 6 - (Unavailable) Cost to purchase is 5000 gold

Being as total remaining tab's cost stands at 8500 gold,if you want more tabs were going to need guild wide contribution the officers alone cannot pick up this expense.

Also it would be greatly appreciated if you would help us to keep the guild bank organized by placing items were they belong. It is a major headache for Guild Members and Templar alike to have the contents scattered to the wind.
