REIGN maintains a casual activity policy to ensure everyone is a part of our community. We are a casual-friendly group, meaning that we do not demand you to be online 24/7 or attend every single planned guild event, but we do expect that everyone maintains a reasonable level of activity and has a presence within our community. This goes for both in- and out-of-game (our forums namely).
REIGN has two general activity guidelines:
- General Activity Requirements; and
- Forum Posting Requirements
General Activity Requirements
REIGN defines "activity" as making a solid effort to be a part of our community. This includes actively posting within our forums, chatting with fellow guild members in our website chat, playing games with one another, and/or chatting with others on our VOIP server.
"AFK" (away from keyboard), a term used within many of the policies listed below, is the acronym we use to describe periods of inactivity; the time in which a member does not or is unable to visit and post in the forums, play games with others, chat with fellow guild members, etc...
The general activity requirement varies by rank/level of responsibility within the guild as follows:
- Sovereigns - The Sovereigns
are held accountable to activity guidelines just as everyone else
but even more so due to the nature of the types of things a Sovereign
might have to deal with at any given time. Any Sovereign that goes
AFK for more than 5 days without prior notice in
the AFK section will be demoted to Overlord.
- Overlords - Like the Sovereigns,
Overlords must also be readily available to field issues/questions
and display a high level of activity. Any Overlord that goes AFK for
more than 7 days without prior notice in the AFK
section will be demoted to Veteran Member.
- Dark Councilors & Veteran
Members - Veteran Members hold an iconic position within the
guild that was earned because of the member's contributions and activity
levels. If a Veteran Member goes AFK for more than 10 days
without prior notice in the AFK section then they are no longer considered
to be deserving of this stature and will be demoted to regular Member.
- Regular members - Regular Members
are the lifeblood of the guild, but they may not have responsibilities
to fulfill on a regular basis that requires devout attention to the
forums or elsewhere. Their main responsibility is to be active, contribute
to the overall atmosphere and befriend each other to help establish
the tight knit community that we strive to be. Any Member that goes
AFK for more than 14 days without prior notice in
the AFK section will be removed from the guild.
Note that trial applicants ("Hopefuls") are not listed above as they are only at said rank for two weeks before their fate is determined as to whether or not they become a full regular member.
Forum Posting Requirements
As a guild focused on building and maintaining a quality community, in-game AND forums activity COMBINED is paramount. We do not require everyone to be an in-game or a forum "warrior," but a reasonable presence in the game and on the forums is expected. After all, the primary reason to join a guild like ours is to be a part of the community.
Every single member, regardless of rank and who has not posted in the AFK section is encouraged to make at least
one (1) post per week in the forums. Many of our members average 20+ posts a day, so asking for one a week is extremely minimal, but it's a good way to at least get your name spread into the community and allows for others to engage in conversation with you.
