Chronology is a Tier 9 Raiding guild on the Permafrost server.

It's pretty simple, we play this game to have fun and we like to do it efficiently and to the best of our abilities.

Rules

#1 Don't be dumb. A little common sense goes a long way.

Maturity

All of our members are expected to behave in a mature manner. While joking and silliness is okay, temper tantrums in guild chat or constant uses of leet speak or profanity is not something welcomed in Chronology. Guild chat can be colorful at times, so please be aware of that.

Grouping & Self Sufficiency

If you need help with something or just have a question never be afraid to ask. However, please keep in mind that others maybe not always be in a position to help you right away. Pre-planning is always advised and our forums are a great tool for that. Know that you are expected to work on your mains on off raid nights. Its yours.

Pick Up Raid Policy

We have no problem if you chose to go on a pick up raid if its not our regular raid nights. However, please be aware of lock out timers. If you are constantly unable to raid with us due to a lock out timer being active from a PUR, your raiding privileges will be revoked. Please check with a member of the RT before attending PURs.

Botting

If you are a botter, dont bother to apply to Chronology.

Loot

If you are in a group that is all Chronology members, it is expected that the group participate in the idea of need before greed.

If someone loots an item in a group where you are not present, and you are interested in that item, please contact that person using /tell. Do not call them out in guild chat. Our members are very generous about donating Masters; please do not put them on the spot.

For Raids:

Chronology uses an attendance based point system when it comes to raid loot. Each member will accrue points for: being on time for raids, during the raid, and first kills.

**Please note: The leadership reserves the right to default loot if they see fit.

Also, they may determine that some loot will be distributed among certain classes.

Loot priority will be based on the following scale:

Mains > Raid Eligible > Recruit > Mute

The only exception is patterns. Non-Raid alts are added into the equation after Recruits, so it would look like this:

Mains > Raid Eligible > Recruit > Non-Raid Alts > Sold

Alts:

Pre-approved Raid Eligible alts are welcome to raid with Chronology.

Recruits:

New recruits are not eligible for loot during the recruitment period. Recruits will accrue points during their recruiting period, but will not be able to spend them until they are a full member.

Exception: If all current full members and their alts on the raid are not interested in the item and the item is No Drop, you will be allowed to place a bid on the loot.

Spells:

Adepts are generally transmuted as they drop, if they drop. Masters will be handled during the raid. You must be able to scribe your master at the time it drops, otherwise it goes to the guild bank.

All masters not needed or reserved , will be sold or muted.

Misc Items (merchant junk) will be sold and the money deposited into the guild funds.

Mains

In Chronology, we believe that leveling and gearing up your main character should be priority. Upon joining Chronology, you will be asked to declare one main character, over any alts you have guilded. Main characters are designated mainly for determining loot on raids. Please see the loot rules for more information on alts on raids. The character that you apply to the guild with will be considered your main, unless otherwise specified to the leadership.

Alts

There is no limit to the number of alts you may have in Chronology. However, please be aware that after 60 days of no play, alts will be removed from the guild.

Raid Alts: To be tagged as a raiding alt, the alt must meet the minimum requirements set for all raiders. Please see a member of the leadership for more information.

Ranks:

Chronology uses the following ranks to keep our roster organized:

Guild Leader

Officer

Leadership Alt

Raid Team (Raid leaders, evaluation, planning)

Raider (Raiding Mains)

Member (Non-Raiding Members)

Alt (Raid Alts, Alts and Tradeskill Alts  Please specify your alt via the guild tool)

Recruit

Members who disappear and do not notify the leadership will be removed after 60 days of no play.

Raiding Members who do not raid for 30 days, will be removed from our raiding roster. If there is an open raid spot for their class on our roster upon their return, they can then be added back to the raiding roster with leadership approval.

Application Process

Applicants will apply via our forums. Once an application is received, it will be reviewed and the applicant contacted by our Recruiting Officer.

Raiding Applicants will be evaluated over the course of 10 raids before they will be considered for full membership. Applicants who are not interested in raiding are held to a 15 day evaluation period before being considered for full membership. During the recruitment period, recruits will be reviewed on multiple points and member feedback. Recruits are encouraged to participate in guild chat, guild activities, and get to know others members through those same avenues. The idea is to not only make sure you are a good fit for Chronology, but that Chronology is a good fit for you.

If during the recruitment period, a recruit for whatever reason is not able to play, it is requested that they post on the forums or contact a member of the leadership (via PMs on the forums or in game mail) and let them know they will be absent from the game. Once a recruit returns to the game, their recruiting process will then start over with the above process.

If a recruit disappears and the leadership doesnt know why, after 10 days absence they will be removed from the guild. Once that recruit returns to the game, they are welcome to contact a member of the leadership to discuss their situation, and possibly be re-invited to the guild as a recruit.

Real Life Friends and Family:

Real life friends and family are welcome in Chronology and have a different set of recruiting rules.

Real Life Friends and Family are welcome into the guild and will not get turned down based on class or level. They will be held to a 15 day recruitment period, and their recruitment process will be the same.

RL Friends & Family & Raiding:

Chronology likes to keep our raiding roster small and therefore we only recruit what is needed to make our raids successful. If your RL Friend or Family member is interested in raiding, and is not on our Raiding Needs for Recruitment, they need to be aware they are not needed for raiding purposes.

Voice Chat

Currently we use Ventrillo for all raiding purposes.

Should the in-game voice chat ever work properly again, we may switch back.

Voice chat can and will get colorful at times, just a warning.

Forums

Participation on our forums is not required, though it is highly encouraged. We use the forums as a way to communicate raids, events, game information and important information pertaining to the guild. We ask that members please check the forums on a daily basis to keep up to date with the guild happenings. There will be none of this I didnt know because I didnt read the forums. Its your responsibility to read the forums and keep yourself up to date with guild news.

Please contact Niah should you have any problems registering or accessing our forums.
