Old Charter
Welcome to Nyx!
Nyx is a casual social guild with a strong RP and PvE focus, that also does PvP. We will endeavour to provide a guild that caters to everyone’s play style and time zones. We support and encourage diversity in our guild, while maintaining a friendly atmosphere. We prefer our members to have a mature attitude and to be considerate and thoughtful.
We are selective about who comes into Nyx and hope to create a guild where everyone feels welcome and respected.
To ensure that everyone feels welcome we have taken into account peoples different play styles and will make sure that these are catered to via the establishment of Wards.
Leadership Style
Nyx has two Oracles that are the joint Guild Leaders. We felt that a cooperative and collaborative style of Leadership would benefit the guild most, with the Oracles being able to share many of the tasks and present different view points. Always working for the benefit of the guild as a whole and not one particular group of players, Nightwarders are the guilds Officers. They all have specific jobs within the guild and are affiliated with a Ward and are expected to perform tasks for that Ward. They provide input and direction for the guild and act as a voice for the players in discussions with the Oracles. They are there on a daily basis to provide support and guidance within the guild.
Oracles and Nightwarders do not expect to be treated any differently; they are a part of the guild the same as any other member. We value the input of all of the guild members and will listen to suggestions from guild members.
Duskwatchers serve as advisors to the officers. Typically these are former Oracles or Nightwarders, or veteran guild members in high standing. They participate in officer discussions, but they do not vote on officer decisions.
Guild Structure
There are four Wards within Nyx that have Nightwarders and Umbral Champions who strive to meet the needs of the players affliated with those Wards
* Growth and Nourishment – This Ward is charged with assisting our lower level characters and new guild members, assisting with PVE and developing friendships within the guild. If you chose this ward you are choosing a path of service.
* War – The home of those that like to PVP both in the world and in Battlegrounds.
* Roleplay – The Roleplay Ward is set up to coordinate social events and to encourage and provide opportunities for Roleplaying and back stories.
* Trials – This is the ward that deals with high end raids and instances.
Players will need to affiliate themselves with a Ward if they wish to receive the rank of Umbral Champion and the privileges that go along with it. See the ranks page for the various ranks within Nyx and how to attain them.
Values
We like to encourage our guild members to group for questing and PVP to develop friendships and assist other guild members through a spirit of generosity and not any feeling of obligation. We value mutual respect and acceptance. However we also like to encourage players to be self sufficient and not be constantly asking for help, run throughs of instances or money.
Keep guild chat appropriate, knowing that we have very young members in Nyx.
Racist, homophobic, sexist, or generally bigoted comments will not be tolerated, in or out of guild chat. What you say to non-guild members reflects upon Nyx as a whole, so maintain the same level of respect with everyone.
Behave honorably in groups. Don’t need anything you won’t use, and ask your group for permission before needing. Respect their decision if they ask you not to need an item.
While no one is required to roleplay, you must be supportive of those who enjoy it.
We hope that guild members will feel comfortable with their guild leadership and able to approach them directly. Most of all we expect people to have fun.
Roleplaying
We have a strong RP focus. Roleplayers’ creativity and sense of fun contributes something special to the guild. Roleplaying is compulsory in /s and /y, particularly in townships and cities. Nyx Guild chat however is informal, but members are welcome to roleplay there as well if they so desire.
We recognize that not everybody has the same experience in roleplay. We also recognize that there are different levels of interest in roleplay. We welcome all.
When roleplay is happening, mutual respect and acceptance are again the guiding principles. Members that are not interested in participating are expected to respect and accept those that are. Likewise members that are roleplaying are expected to respect and accept those that choose not to participate. Roleplayers with different styles and abilities are expected to respect and accept each other’s differences.
There are specific events for Roleplayers who would like to take part in these and there are promotional paths available for Roleplayers based on their skill in this area. There is a designated area within the forums for Roleplayers to write in character, any posts in this area that are not of a Roleplay nature will be removed.
Events
We will try to host regular events often during the course of a month trying to accommodate all level ranges and time zones. Sometimes it might be a purely social outing like a flightpath run to assist lower level characters in attaining a flight path. Or it may be a happy hour, dungeon or dueling day. Attendance is never mandatory but it is a wonderful way to build friendships and camaraderie within the guild.
The Future
Nyx aims to be a place where people feel welcome and valued. We would like to be large enough to run events for all levels. We will be organized and timely with decision making and direction. We hope to be the guild that people know is one of the best guilds to be in because the leadership cares about and provides for its guild members, and the guild members themselves are friendly and welcoming.
