The Way of Iron

Ranks spread the work of running the guild across PvE, roleplay and the community as a whole. There is always room to advance, and we always listen to members of every rank.

Organization

Organization is critical when it comes to working together and accomplishing our goals. Many of our decisions come from feedback and constructive conversation, but the rank structure itself is managed in the best interest of the guild by its founders: the Guild Master and his officers.

We want a guild that supersedes the existence of any game. The game is merely a forum for the guild to grow, not the other way around.

We are looking for long-term players who want a home among tightly knit friends. Many of us have gamed together for years and across many titles, and we want to add more players to that tradition.

Start as a Mercenary

Command structure

Highest rank first.

  1. I

    Iron Warlord

    Guild leader and community leader

    Steers the guild's direction and the storylines running through our gaming chapters; builds and changes the out-of-character structure when needed; organizes guild meetings; administers the website; recruits officers; and works with other guild leaders on inter-guild stories, community RP and PvP alliances.

  2. II

    Seneschal

    Second in command

    Helps steer the guild, organizes and runs events, and works with the community and other guilds on alliances and RP outreach. Seneschals also run recruitment interviews and the initiation of new members.

  3. III

    Iron Vanguard

    Veteran

    Members who have shown commitment to the guild and proven themselves, again and again, as an example for those looking to advance. Vanguards take part in virtually every guild activity.

  4. IV

    Captain

    Guild officer

    Review applications, help those who fall short of our expectations, and approve those who fit. Captains uphold the integrity and cohesion of every member of the wider community.

  5. V

    Old Timer

    Veteran

    Members who once gave the time and effort that helped us achieve great things, and who have since burned out or now play far more casually than the core group.

  6. VI

    Legionnaire

    Member

    Has completed probation and wants a bigger part in the community. Legionnaires work to improve in the games we play together; those who keep raising their standing are eventually promoted to veteran.

  7. VII

    Mercenary

    Recruit

    Newly admitted recruits working toward membership. This introductory rank tells us whether you fit in skill and personality. Signing up is the first step; showing up doesn't guarantee membership.
