Hi all,
As you already know, <Blade and Quill> are the largest guild on the KEP server. When we hit 500 members, we discovered that we could not recruit any more!
So, to make a little space in the guild for genuine new recruits (i.e. real, new players - rather than another alt) we have decided to adopt a policy of removing long-term inactive characters from the guild and also asking current members to try to restrict their characters in the guild to around 3 (1 main and 2 alts).
Definition of "inactive" character: Any character that has not logged in to the game for a number of weeks will be considered an inactive character by the guild's officers. These characters may be removed from the guild, without warning, if officers need to make room for active new recruits. Inactive characters will be removed in order of level, with the lowest level characters being removed first. There is a sliding scale for the inactivity cut-off, based on level: Level 1-10 = 4 weeks; Level 11-20 = 6 weeks; and Level 20-40 = 8 weeks.
Please note that you will always be granted the rejoining of a removed character - these removals are not being made with any bad intentions, we just want to ensure that our guild membership is as active and vibrant as possible.
Finally, if anyone plans to be away from the game for a few weeks and does not want their characters removed from guild (e.g. perhaps you're going travelling for 6-12 months?), please make a forum post telling us of your plans or put a personal note on the character in-game. We will try to accommodate these requests and protect your characters from inactivity removal as much as possible.
