Hello and welcome to our forums!
This thread consists of the guild's rules and our code of conduct. It is important that you read this post. Please also read other sticky posts before writing up your application. Good luck!
The code of conduct
We expect you to treat your fellow guild members with respect, in all circumstances. We also expect that you treat your fellow gamers well and act politely. Every member carries our name with them, and we strive to make a good impression to all the players- not only the horde ones. Please note that we also expect you to follow Blizzard's rules. This includes the additional policies for Roleplaying servers.
*Please note that when you get invited into the guild, you will be on a trial for around 1 month. However the officers may extend your trial period if they feel the need to.
*As a member of the Frostmane Hold you understand that reading our guild forum is important as much RP-related information is posted here. You will read the forums and understand it is not the officer team's top priority to take care that you receive information.
*The guild will pay a small amount of gold daily to your armor repairs.
*You are free to use the guild bank according to your rank's rights (that are minimal on your trial period for the guild's safety, and equal to everyone save the officers and guild leader). Should you need anything from the bank, please contact your officers.
*When you become a "full member" after your trial, you can choose your own rank. There are several ranks to choose from. We believe that respect, both in character, and out of character, is earned, not given.
*If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions, we encourage you to speak your mind constructively -a guild is always a team effort!
*Bring much love into the guild, and we will be good to you!
Raiding and other social acts
-Anything forbidden by Blizzard is not allowed by us either; such as using bots or gold farmers or buying characters.
-Flaming, racism, sexism, or other inappropriate behaviour is not tolerated by the Frostmane Hold.
-We expect you to behave well in channels, as every member carries our name with them. These include channels such as trade, general, raid, guild, battleground...
-Our guild chat, party chats and the like are Out Of Character, unless otherwise defined.
-Spamming or other childish behaviour is not tolerated.
-If you participate on raids, we expect you to behave in the way the raid leader wishes and to abide to their rules.
-If you do battlegrounds, we expect you to do your share. AFKers are not tolerated.
-We do not accept corpse camping (continuously killing a player, waiting them to spawn, killing them again).
-If you feel like you have been mistreated you are free to contact your officers who are more than happy to assist you. However, the officer team is not interested in being a referee or a babysitter. If you want to brawl with people online, this is not the guild for you
Roleplaying
-Please note that all emotes, /say /yell, and so forth, are always in character. Goofing around Out of Character might get you kicked of the guild so we strongly encourage you to not to do it.
-You are expected to accept the guild's lore (mainly our own Loa: Syama Shavala, Vrakun, Bok'Ogo, Akt and Shi'Raka) and act according to our lore.
-When sending a private message considering aspects / storyteller etc, address your PM to the whole officer team.
-If you participate on other people's roleplay, please be respectful. If you cannot go by their rules, leave.
-The guild understands that sometimes you might have to leave in the middle of a roleplay. Notify your fellow gamers about this and it is not a problem.
-Power roleplay (also known as Power RP, or god emoting) is the best way to get you kicked. Please remember that everyone loves their character, and everyone should be given equal chances to act.
-Metagaming, or other "foul RP" is forbidden. Remember to respect your fellow gamers!
-As we RP the frostmane tribe, we are reluctant to take in trolls of other tribes. One should have a very valid reason for getting accepted but we recommend that you roll a frostie.
-Avatars of hakkar, those possessed by deities/ other beings, robots, vampires, teenage allstars and the like are not welcome. We like a down-to earth feeling.
-Death knights may join but unfortunately we cannot welcome them in as undead. So if you are a DK for cosmetic reasons, this is fine. We do however offer valid options for people who want to thread a bit on the darker side- followers of Syama Shvala, the Loa of death can be a interesting option to RP.
-As the Frostmane Hold is a RP guild, you will participate in roleplay at least once a week.
-Ninja patting the guild leader's pet will get your hands chopped off.
Didn't get too scared? Good! Now, go and apply!
