Mission Statement - Our Goal

The guild is developed with the enjoyment of the members and players in mind, by this we wish to produce only a friendly, helpful environment that everyone will enjoy being a part of. This will be accomplished by only recruiting players that intend to meet the expectations listed under the Membership section below. Do keep in mind that the said enjoyment also includes the defeat and bloodshed of our enemies.

Membership - Expectations

If you are interested in joining The Eminence, you should understand what we expect from our members.

Respect

We expect all members to show maturity and respect for their fellow guild mates. Friendly joking is always welcomed, but be sure not to take things too far.

Activity

We also seek active members. We understand that this is a game, and the players do indeed have lives they must attend to, but regular game activity and the ability to attend guild events is a feature we seek - we're not asking you to play 6+ hours every day, just don't be inactive for 7+ days at a time without prior notice.

Cooperation

We can not have successful sieges and successfully defend our guild walls unless the members can cooperate and work together. Cooperation is vital in any guild and is the root of organization. If you have an issue with a member, take it up with an officer and we will do our best to solve it while avoiding drama.

Ventrilo

We currently have a 75 user slot ventrilo server, as we believe it will serve good purpose in both PvP and PvE activities. Due to this we ask that all members please obtain a ventrilo client (free of charge) from Ventrilo.com - Our server supports both Windows and Mac clients.
Even if you do not have a mic and only speakers, being able to hear the commands of officers in battle is all we ask.
During this pre-game bonding phase everyone is welcomed to come on Vent and chat it up with the members. This provides an opportunity to get to know us better and, more importantly, in real time.

Structure - Ranks

The guild's rank system is very simplstic, this is to avoid heavy guild member conflicts in regards to rank advancement. As a new member, you will obtain the rank of Recruit, and once in the guild two weeks you will advanced to Member. Once the game comes out we will have Class Leaders who will organize varying groups of players with varying interests, e.g., crafting quest groups, PvP assassination squads, catburglar thieving parties, raid parties, etc.
The officers of The Eminence are known as the Overseers, each one watching over eachother and the membership. More details regarding Ranks and Class Leaders can be found by browsing various pages on our website.
