The Order of the Ebon Shield is one of the oldest, still active guilds on Cenarion Circle having been formed in early April 2005. These days we are a role-play friendly, social guild with a casual raid.
Historically the OES has enjoyed a large and active membership, since the release of Cata we’ve experienced a slow decline in numbers that accelerated through early Mists. More than anything our dwindling numbers are due to people retiring from the game to devote more time to raising their children, establish careers after college or to put to paper the novel they have been writing in their head for years.
<Get to the point, Rizz>
Traditionally becoming a member of the OES has been a somewhat lengthy and involved process. We're changing that up a bit as we don't feel it's a realistic or sustainable approach in today's climate of increasingly casual gaming.
Who are we looking for?
We’re opening up recruitment to active players of legal age, with characters level 30 and higher of any class, skill or experience. The OES has a long held tradition of recruiting the person not the character and we're not going to change that.
How do you join?
If you’re currently unguilded you can locate us in the guild finder window by scrolling until you find us and hitting the “Request Membership” button. An officer or I will get back to you within a couple of days to confirm your interest, go over the ground rules and issue an invite.
(If you previously expressed an interest via the Guild Finder panel and didn’t get a response, please check back. There was some confusion and you were probably overlooked.)
Or, you can contact me (Arizza), Fionella, Ladarian or Drewscylla in-game (note: Tues/Thurs 5pm-8pm server is the absolute worst time to contact any of us).
What are the rules?
Our rules are pretty basic: Don’t be a jerk. Don’t troll trade. Don't grief pugs. Don't hassle role players or intentionally disrupt their immersion.
Guild chat (and vent) aren’t a free-for-all and need to be kept to a PG13-ish level.
It sounds easy but there is a catch.
Newly joined members will have one week to register at our website and post an application; and prior to being promoted out of Recruit status you’ll have to suffer through a brief conversation in vent with an officer.
We also require an authenticator to be eligible for promotion to a rank with any meaningful access to the guild bank or funds.
Hey look! We finally managed to get our website organized. www.ebonshield.com
