CODE OF CONDUCT

 

Rising Dragoon conduct themselves with honor and respect for other players at all times. We remember always that there is a real live human on the other end of the keyboard, and treat them as we would like to be treated. We are each responsible to demonstrate clearly the quality of people in our Legion, at all times, in all aspects of the game. Within the Legion, we are always respectful and helpful to each other. Outside the Legion we will always show respect for our fellow players.

Rising Dragoon will use a “Three Strikes and You're Out” rule. Legitimate and proven complaints about a player’s behavior and/or actions which reflect poorly on the player and our Legion will result in that player receiving a strike; the third strike will result in a player’s removal from the Legion. Actions of a serious nature which are proven to be true will result in the immediate removal of the offending player from the Legion. It is at the Legion Officers’ discretion of what warrants a strike. Immediate removal has to be approved by the Leader. A few examples of actions that would result in the immediate removal are (but not limited to): exploiting, game fixing, etc.

 

MEMBERSHIP

 

The hierarchy of the Legion is as follows:

 

Brigade/Leader (Legion Master)

Centurion/Officer (Officer)

Class Leaders (Class Leaders)

Banker (Officer Alts and Legion Banks)

Dragoon (Member)

Recruit (Recruit)

 

The Legion Master and Officers are in charge of the overall Legion functions; from day to day operations to organizing and leading raids. They will also take on tasks such as running the Legion bank, and recruitment.

Class Leaders are players who have proven themselves as knowledgeable and skillful in their class. First and foremost, they want what is best for the Legion and they want to push us forward into new content, sharing in the Legion Master’s vision of RD. They will aid the Officers by organizing Dragoons of their class and fielding any questions the Dragoons may have about their role during specific encounters.

Recruits are players who are "trying out" for a Member position. They are subject to a week trial period, where their attitude, skills, and ability to follow direction will be closely watched. Recruits can be removed from the Legion at any time during their trial period if the Officers feel they are not the kind of players that RD is looking for. If they pass the probationary period, they will be promoted to Member and will receive all the benefits thereof.

 

Promotion and Demotion Guidelines

 

Conduct that affects the enjoyment of others (such as abuse of other members in chat, selfish or immature behavior, or hoarding resources and/or loot) may, at the discretion of the Officers and Legion Master, result in Members being demoted or removed from the Legion.

 

RECRUITING

 

To be a successful and growing Legion, RD is always in need of new recruits. However, because the members have a significant impact on the style and quality of the Legion overall, the Legion Master and Officers are responsible to ensure that only the best and most appropriate players become members of RD.

At times, the Legion will openly recruit for new players. Recruiting this way will be done for specific classes and types of players that are needed to advance the Legion overall. Positions open for recruiting will be placed on the Legion website and handled in the Legion forum.

Furthermore, we pride ourselves on the friends we've made within the Aion. To keep the friendly and family oriented nature of the Legion moving forward, friends/family may be invited to the Legion as well.

 

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

In any group, disputes and disagreements are unavoidable. We expect our members to settle most disputes among themselves and in private. In cases where both parties cannot agree to resolve a dispute, they may ask a more senior member to resolve the dispute for them. If the dispute is not resolved at that point, it can be appealed to the Leader. The Leader may ask other Officers to assist in settling the dispute, or he may elect the handle the matter on his own. In any event, the decision of the Leader is final.

 

Most disputes will be settled in private and should be kept out of general Legion chat. In cases where it is in the best interest of the Legion overall, the Officers may make the nature of the dispute and the resolution public to the other Legion members.

In the event that players outside the Legion have a dispute with a member of RD, an Officer will be assigned to address the dispute. In the event that the Officer cannot resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of both parties, it may be appealed to the Legion Master. Again, the Leader may elect to resolve the matter directly, or he may ask one or more Officers to assist in a decision. Once a decision is reached by the Leader, it is not subject to further appeal.

 

BANK

 

The Legion bank exists so that we can develop the Legion team. Items collected on Legion raids and groups which are not needed by the members may be forwarded to the bank so that other members can take advantage of our good fortune by using the items we find in game. Bank items are held on the Banker toons. Items for the bank may be sent using in-game mail. Officers will have the final say in what is being given out and to whom. If at any point you are caught selling anything from Legion bank for personal gain, you will be removed from Legion.

 

When you are finished with the item, if possible, return it to the Legion Bank. If the item is soul-bound to you (green gear for example), sell it to the NPC and donate the money to the legion. It is expected that players will be, on balance, net contributors to the bank. This means that players requesting items from the bank will be expected to have made contributions to the bank beforehand, and player contributions will be considered when a request for a bank item is made.

 

Crafting is a good way to make money and support your character. It would be nice to contribute your crafting to the legion bank as well. Foods, potions, armor, weapons, etc. All donated will be used for when we do raids and also if needed, distributing it among members.

Taxes will take place within the legion and each member based on level will have a fee towards the legion. This makes the legion able to grow and pay off funds for legion necessities such as large kisks, torrents for fortress protection, etc.

ALL RULES MAY BE CHANGED IF LEADER FEELS NEEDED.
