Code of Conduct

First off DARKSINNERS is not a guild of griefers!!! With that said, I guess that you can figure out that constant PKing of people will not be tolerated. Our policy on PK is this: only if they PK you first. This rule is put into place because it effects our whole guild, not just the ones doing it. In other words if a higher lvl in our guild goes out and constantly PKs a person from another guild then that other guild will continually PK members of our guild making it harder for everyone to lvl. Our main goal is to have fun here people. It is a game, not life and death, and it should be treated as the entertainment it was created for. If a guildie gets PKed and cannot take care of it his\her self and asks for help then by all means help them. Thats the main purpose of a guild, to play with other similar minded individuals who help eachother out in game. Thanks for ur time in reading this and remember, Have FUN

Another of DARKSINNERS primary goals is to become a well respected and reputable guild that helps others enjoy the games we play to its full extent while being fair, competitive and friendly. To reach that goal, we ask all our members to comply with the following guidelines.

Respect Your Fellow Players
•Avoid belittling other players. If someone has a question do not insult them for not knowing the answer and do not tell them the wrong answer knowingly. Everyone has to learn sometime.
•Avoid kill stealing, including pb's. If you see a group of players preparing to kill a pb, move on to the next one. They were there first.
•If you are farming or pointing and it involves gathering large mobs, be aware of fellow players. Some of those mobs may be needed for quests and you may be hindering their advancement.
•If you are grouped with a non guildie, do not kick them from the party to invite a guildmate. They were there first. Be patient and wait for an open spot.
•Avoid insulting other guilds on map or local chats. We are trying to work with other guilds to further the maturity of each game, not hinder it. Most people do not have problems with another guild but only a few within the guild. Keep your personal dislikes separate from including DARKSINNERS dislikes.
•Avoid accusing a person of being a farmer because they do not speak English. There are several different ethnic groups within our games and that does not make them farmers. It may just be a miscommunication, it is hard to learn a game when there is nobody that can understand you.

Respect Your Fellow Guildmates and Their Equipment
•If someone has loaned you an item do not sell it or upgrade it without permission.
•If you are in a group and several people are trying to level avoid leaving as soon as you have leveled unless you can find someone to replace your spot.
•If you need to leave a group on short notice, it is polite to apologize and thank them before leaving.
•If you can not participate in a group you were going to join, make sure they are aware that you are not going.
•Be aware of how the group you've joined distributes loot. There are several different ways groups divy loot and it usually depends on who you group with.
•Be patient with people if they do not respond to guild chat, map chat, or whispers they can be easy to miss, the person could be afk, or unable to answer at the time (ie pvping or fighting). A lot of people get pm'd constantly and some will be missed.
•Keep in mind that not everyone reads forums on a regular basis and may not be aware of current events.

Guild Equipment and Crafters
As a guild we try to give our guild crafters as much in the way of mats and materials as we can. This enables our guild crafters to create items for the guild at a faster rate and lets us wear better armors and weapons than we normally would have access to. You are not required to donate everything to the guild crafter but if you expect to use guild items contributions will make that easier.
•Do not sell or upgrade guild items without permission from leader/founders or the guild crafters.
•Do not pass items down to another guild member without first clearing it with a leader/founder or the guild crafters, this enables us to keep track of who has which guild items.
•If you need an item made for yourself you are required to supply the crafter with all materials needed.
•Please know that the crafters are not perfect sometimes things fail. If you ask the crafter to upgrade or create items, the crafter is not responsible for any loss.

Guild Problems, Conflict and Drama
There may be times when inner-guild issues arise and you feel the urge to leave. Before doing so, we strongly encourage you to talk to our officers, post on the forums, and give us the opportunity to work things out. Things can often be misinterpreted in game. By posting on forums or sending a council member a pm on the forums it will be easier to resolve an issue.
We have an open door policy which means that we try to keep lines of communication open to all our members at all times. Conversely, we DO NOT have a revolving door policy which means we will not take members leaving the guild on a whim lightly. Leaving the guild should be considered the last resort when problems have been properly communicated but unable to be resolved.
If for some reason, you feel the urge to leave on impulse, please try any of the following:
•Disable Guild Chat for a while to cool off
•Log for a little bit and surf the web
•Walk away from your PC and grab a drink

If you've tried the above are still seriously considering leaving, talk to one of us so we can help. All our members are important so we urge you to give us the chance to make things better.
