Get Recruited
Now you’re ready for a guild invite! Typically, one of our officers will see your application, and look for you in game to send you a guild request. Many times, an officer will add your character’s name to their friend’s list and watch for you to log on to send you the invite. Sometimes though, that doesn’t always happen. Here are a few other ways to make sure you get recruited…

  • Look through our list of officers and their alt character names HERE. Just as well, if you find any other member of ECC, just ask them to flag any officer online to send you the invite.
  • Join our guild channel. To do this, type “/join ecc” without the quotes. Once you’ve joined the channel, just say that you’re looking for a guild invite. To do this, just type the number of the channel ‘ecc’ is assigned to, which is typically ‘4.’ Example: “/4 Hi everyone! Could you get an officer to recruit me?” (Again without the quotes.
  • If both of those options fail, just bump your questionnaire post to make sure someone knows you haven’t yet been recruited yet.

Getting Settled In
Now you’re in the guild! We don’t have any probationary periods or any hoops other steps you need to take. Once you’re recruited, your status will be updated so you can view everything a normal member sees on our forums. (Including instructions for our Ventrilo server.)

Generally, we may have an officer/veteran of the guild follow up with you in the first week. (No stalking, we promise!) We just want to make sure everything is going OK, and if you have any questions/issues, we take care of them immediately.

Our guild offers a lot of ‘extras’ beside just friends to keep you company. We have a guild bank, regularly scheduled instances/raids, a ventrilo server, etc. However, many of these ‘extras’ have rules that go along with them. If needed, make sure you re-read the ‘nitty-gritty’ from above, or ask an officer/veteran if you’re not sure about something.

Problems?
Sometimes, issues come up. No matter what your problem is, you can ask any officer/veteran, or if needed, the guild master himself. If you’re not comfortable with speaking in the game, here are some contacts for the guild master and executive officers. (Links will create a personal message on the forums. You must be logged in to do this.)

The Recruitment Questionnaire

January 30th, 2008 -- Posted in Guild Resources | No Comments »

Here is our official Recruitment Questionnaire we request each person interested in joining the guild to fill out. For your convenience, we’ve posted it here on our blog, pre-formated. (The codes you see at the beginning/end of each question will keep the questions bold in the forums.)

You can simply copy & paste the questionnaire into a a new topic in our recruitment section of our forums. (THIS link should automatically start a new topic in the right section as long as you are registered and signed in at the time.)

There are only a few rules to us keep the forum organized:

  • Please copy and paste this questionnaire into a new topic and title it by your main character’s name so that we can easily read who’s questionnaire it is when we are browsing.
  • Please only post one topic per person (not per character).
  • When completing your questionnaire, please leave the original questions in so that we know what you are answering without having to reference this master post, etc.
  • When answering the questionnaire, please answer the questions as fully as possible.
  • This is your only chance to make a good first impression with the majority of the guild, so make it count!


Thank you for showing interest in Ex Cinis Cineris. We look forward to getting to know you in addition to what you’ve listed there!
