There's good news and bad news. Well, no one likes bad news, so why don't we just get it out of the way first.
"Guild chat" in the following rules refers to guild chat, alliance chat, party chat (when in a guild party), and To All chat (when in an area with all Peerless members).
1.
Maturity. Our members are all college-aged or mature, respectable players and we intend it to remain that way as the guild evolves. Please don't expect any form of emotional babysitting from the guild.
2.
No hacking or glitching. If I find anyone hacking or glitching, it will lead to immediate ban without warning. No ex-hackers or ex-glitchers are allowed in this guild. Violating Nexon's terms of service is not allowed. No joking around about hacking or talking about hacking either. But talking about hackers is okay.
3.
No spamming, arguing, or drama in guild chat. Take them to whispers.
4.
No scamming, of guildies or non-guild players. No ex-scammers are allowed in this guild either.
5.
No FMing in guild chat ("B>",. "S>", etc.). Use the guild bbs and/or the guild website instead. However, typing buying or selling in plain english once a day in guild chat is allowed.
6.
No killstealing (ksing), of guildies or non-guild players, except against those who ks'ed first. However, killstealing in ch1 HHG1 (Channel 1 Henesys Hunting Ground I) is allowed. Furthermore, killstealing
Hall of Shame players (players who loot from Peerless Zakum) will not violate any guild rule until they pay for their loot and are removed from that list.
7.
No begging or asking (for free training, for mesos, for items, for "borrowing" equips, for free nx, for defaming someone, for helping sell something in store, for account info, for passwords, for pin, etc.). However, asking for training parters (not free training) is allowed and encouraged. [updated 10.18.07, TY Majinsin] Also, posting buying/selling topics is allowed (and encouraged) on the guild bbs as well as the guild website. Finally, the leader, having spent thirty levels at FoG and knowing how grueling FoG training can be, will allow asking in guild chat for FoG plat holding (and Gobi ch, and Himes ch) during repotting.
8.
No rejoining the guild after leaving (this includes to GPQ), unless the leaders give you permission before leaving or the leaders later agree to let you rejoin. A player cannot rejoin after leaving if peerliss or any Junior objects, and peerliss frequently objects.
9.
No swearing, trashtalking, whining, ranting, TALKING IN ALL CAPS, or with excessive characters ("@@@", "!!!!") in guild chat or guild bbs. No transmitting any form of trashtalking in guild chat.
10.
If you are going to be inactive for a period of time, and wish to stay in the guild, tell us by posting on the Vacation thread.
11.
Respect your fellow guild members (especially Jr. Masters) and be a friendly guildie. Let's make this not only the Biggest but the Best Guild on Bera! Please do not be disrespectful to other non-guild players.
12.
No harrassing maple celebrities. Bera's top players have earned the respect of the maple community. Don't hurt our guild reputation by tracking and then harrassing maple celebrities or trying to get them to talk. [updated 10.5.2007]
13.
No looting boss run drops. Only the party/event leader can loot boss drops. The party/event leader must then distribute drops within 24 hours according to jobs and levels among the party members who survived.
14.
No talking about controversial or inappropriate topics (sex, religion, homosexuality, sexism, or racism). No smegaing about them either. In our experience this can only lead to flame wars that are disruptive to the entire guild, and people getting hurt.
15.
No unlegit zhelms. If we discover any member with an unlegit zhelm, they will be expelled.
16.
No account-sharing with anyone other than a RL girlfriend or a RL brother/sister. Characters not created or trained by you cannot join the guild.
17.
Please don't be offended when no one answers your question in guild chat. People either don't know or are afk. If no one answers, that means no one there knows. No one wants to be in a guild where everyone must say "dunno" to every question asked. Also, we are a very active guild, and 20 "dunnos" to every question posed is just too much for guild chat.
18.
No joking around about breaking these rules.
19.
Help enforce these rules by reminding others if they forgot and broke these rules.
But most importantly,
20.
Have fun! You are in the first 100-man guild on Bera, and perhaps even GMS. Enjoy the company of your fellow guildies in and out of the game! And let us know how we can make this an even better guild experience for you ;3
Guild Party QuestIf there are at least 6 members interested in GPQ, peerliss or a Jr. Master will get those members into a GPQ.
Guild Meeting RoomOur guild meeting room is located at ch 13 fm 1 effective 1.12.08.
