Recruit (R0)
efinition: Recruits are trial citizens and are subject to extreme scrutiny for a minimum of 2 – 4 weeks before they are considered for a promotion. Promotion to Rank 1 includes full membership, and your trial status is removed.

The FINE PRINT: Be advised that all Recruits, (Rank 0) are under a minimum of 4-6 weeks review before they are granted full member status. In some cases the GL may wave the minimum review period or shorten it. During this time period, you will receive limited loot or crafted items, and any item you receive is considered to be Guild Property and must be returned to the guild should your trial membership end and we part company.

You will have access to some of the Private Guild forums. One of these is our Absent Notice boards. You must post when RL calls you away from your gaming for more than a day.

Adventurers are expected to move with the Guild when we adventure in geographic locations. We encourage you to group with Guild Members whenever possible.

If you are online in the game, you must be online in Vent as well.

Adventurers, if you did not meet our minimum level requirement, and were offered an invitation to join us, then you most likely convinced us that you will be able to catch up to the rest of the Guild in levels. We will not hand hold you for this effort, but will lend you support and help if you need to get past a legendary or heroic counter to advance your character.

Be advised that we strive for a drama free environment to play in. We realize issues may arise from time to time that need to be addressed. Should you have an issue you must report this to the Guild Leader or any Officer for resolution.
