Our Code of Conduct
We're dead, chivalry isn't. That means we shall carry ourselves professionally as players, and be excellent to one another (and the RP community, as a whole).
Here are some guidelines we shall use to keep ourselves and each other on track.
World RP
Our Knights, when in character, will behave in accordance with established behaviors seen by NPCs of the Ebon Blade over the last several years. Death Knights are generally serious-minded, though macabre senses of humor do have precedent. There's not much dancing and jumping around. That being said, it isn't required that DKs be depressing to everyone around them.Our Knights will not partake in ERP (erotic roleplay).
Knights caught engaging in trope-y RP behavior (i.e. half-dragons, pregnant dk, san'layn) will be playfully teased or simply removed. There's not really any middle ground there.
Expectations of our Knights
Our Knights will not detract from other players' RP by intentionally pulling focus or belittling other players' characters/roleplay.
Our Knights will fight enemies wherever they threaten the lives of other players' characters. Desperate people like to be rescued by knights in shining armor, but sometimes it's just up to us instead. They can deal with it.
PvE (Non-RP)
When encountering with non-guildies, our Knights will carry themselves professionally, not belittling others or acting maliciously.We're here to add to our community, not feed off it or make others feel unwelcome.
Our Knights will enjoy the awesomeness that is being a Death Knight in group content.
PvP (Non-RP)
No griefing. No exceptions.If you choose to engage in PvP, great, but seek a fair fight, or one that starts in the opponents' favor...we're not here to bully anyone.
Our Knights will make their enemies rue the day they crossed a Knight of Acherus.
Guild Chat (OOC)
Don't be a dick. Seriously, it's so easy to just not be a jerk.Don't get into current story discussions without first asking if anyone is avoiding spoilers. Don't be the person that wrecks a big reveal for someone...those are special gameplay moments for many RPers.
No excessive swearing. It's unnecessary.
Trade/General Chat (OOC)
Anyone caught speaking maliciously toward/about another player will be removed. Again, we're here to be excellent to one another.
Transmog
With Legion, many NPCs in Acherus began displaying a wider variety of appearances. With that in mind, our Knights may transmog more freely, as long as the appearance they don looks appropriate for something you'd see in Acherus: The Ebon Hold. So, like, don't be on fire or pink or whatever.There is a guild crest, should you want to wear a guild tabard, and its color scheme has intentionally been set as neutral as possible, to match more armor appearances. It is encouraged, though, that the first choice of tabard be the in-game tabard for the Ebon Blade. Again, tabards aren't required.
Recommended RP Addon
Totally not a requirement, but MRP is a pretty good one.
Outside the Game
You may notice that this isn't a full-on guild site, with forums and galleries. If an interest in this area grows, that will be re-evaluated. As it stands, just check in here from time to time for new info...if there's something important to be shared, it'll also get mentioned in the GMOTD in-game.
