COMMUNITY

BASIC FACTS

The official Zero³ Web Page is [HERE].

Zero³ is a guild serving the Galactic Republic on the <To Be Determined> server.

• We will endeavor to play on a Player versus Player Role-Playing (PvP/RP) server. We wish to actively get involved in the Galactic Conflict via PvP, while maintaining the typical decorum, rules, and community of a Role-Play server.
• Zero³ will actively take part in both Player-vs-Environment (PvE) and Player-vs-Player (PvP) combat - as determined by game content.

We desire folks who seek to be part of a team by joining in guild groups, raids, and events.

We highly suggest that you read the Zero³ background story and lore in order to understand the concept and feel of Zero³.

CORE VALUES

ACTIVITY

An active guild is a healthy guild.

ATTITUDE

Maintaining a positive attitude that shows respect for yourself, the others around you, and the guild as a whole.

SUPPORT

Provide support for the guild and its membership by grouping with guild mates, joining in guild events, answering questions, and assisting those in need. The ability to provide support comes from the successful application of Activity and Attitude.

VISION & GOALS

To be a mature, well respected, and well liked guild within the Star Wars: The Old Republic community.

As much as practical, we will be active in the official community. We do not spam, flame, ridicule, or in other ways act obnoxiously to the community and its members.

To be successful in PvP as well as PvE.

Whether we are in guild groups, in raids against high end content, or in player-vs-player combat we will always do our utmost to be successful. We learn from defeats and repeat victories. We will be flexible enough to adapt and overcome and change tactics, skills, and equipment as needed (and available) for an encounter.

WHO WE ARE

WE ARE A ROLE-PLAYING GUILD

First and foremost, we respect the producer and developer provided canon and lore.

• We are players taking part in their universe; we are not creating a new universe of our own.
• Where there is no canon or lore we welcome the infinite imaginations of all of our members.

Naming rules are probably the issue we’re most strict about. Don’t try and be cute - ObeeOuan, Pewpewz, Skywalkerx, and Schwarts are names we’ll never allow in Zero³.

Although not mandatory, we encourage everyone to create character background, develop guild lore posts, and create stories regarding their character(s).

When in game, we try to role-play our characters wherever practical, and in all public channels.

• For the most part, there is little to no role-playing over Ventrilo, or in private guild chat or whispers.
• In public channels, such as /shout, /say, etc, remain in-character to the best of your ability. Including refraining from instant messenger shorthand (e.g. ur gr8, c u l8r, etc).

Role-playing is never an excuse to kill steal, corpse camp, or perform other acts of general rudeness.

Role-playing does not trump achieving; achieving trumps role-playing.

• EXAMPLE: “This armor is ugly, and my character does not wear purple.” If you want to wear the cool looking outfit when not on a guild event, that is perfectly fine. During a raid we expect you to be outfitted with the best gear and skills you can - no matter how ‘ugly’ or ‘purple.’

WE ARE A CASUAL GUILD

Real life comes first.

• We are real life professionals, students, family people, that are unable to put the time into a game that would constitute us as a hard-core guild. However, when we play we do so to the best of our ability. We are casual in play time not in play style.
• We ask people to play as much as they can, but we don’t have activity expectations.

We are casual in play time, not in play style.

• Being casual in play time means that if you need to go to your kid's ball game, that takes priority over a game. If you have finals and can't play for a week, that's perfectly fine.
• Being casual in play time does not mean skipping out in the middle of a raid, or detrimentally affecting the success of your fellow guild mates through extended, unannounced AFKs or other in-game absences. (Legitimate emergencies are always understood.)

WE ARE AN ACHIEVEMENT GUILD

When we do play, we do everything in our power to be the best players that we can.

We make every effort to succeed and achieve within our casual playtime, the EULA/TOS, and spirit of the game.

We do use Ventrilo (VoIP / voice chat) and expect our members to use it for all guild events (PvE and PvP).

HIERARCHY

To promote the tone of the Zero³ guild, we have set up a simple, yet effective hierarchy to represent our membership. We are not a true military organization, so we wanted to ensure our hierarchy followed this para-military (mafia, cult, terrorist, et cetera) theme set in our background lore.

SCION: The Scion of Zero³ is the guild leader.

ELDER: Elders are the officers of the guild.

BROTHER/SISTER: We are all family - Brothers and Sisters in the cause against the Sith.

INITIATE: A new recruit who is awaiting his/her formal acceptance as Brother or Sister.

Evenin Gents! Corwin Shelvay here from Champions of The Force. I was just passing through to offer you folks a bit of entertainment hosted by the members of COTF - We've created an RPG table top game that were intending on making public once its completely edited and finished. We're going to invite Sith guilds to get involved as well so we can have Guild very guild battles, and other enhanced story lines. So we'd gladly like you fellas aboard for the ride!

Corwin,
Please keep us updated on this. I'm sure some our members would be interested in this. We have more than a few table top RPGers in the guild, including myself.

Thanks for thinking of us.

Ive narrowed my guild search down to three and tri-Z is in the finals. Sell your guild to me, help make my decision easier. I have summed up the guild as an unsanctioned group of Republic para-military loyalists (I know, I really had to read between the lines on that one huh?).
