Onboarding

We are glad you have made the decision to join the ranks of our guild. To get you acclimated to our community, please read through each of the following sections:

Our Ethos

Adding Your Alts
Rules

1. SECTION ONE: Our Ethos
   
   We are a guild dedicated to helping each other out and creating a family friendly environment in BEAR. It is expected of BEAR members to be polite, kind, helpful, and empathetic towards your fellow guildmembers.
   
   Our ethos extends beyond our guild though. We want to carry these same values to our brothers-in-arms within our alliance. We also want to portay this same image to the Outlands community as a whole, whether that be in discord or in-game.
   
   Always remember that you are representing BEAR with every action or word you speak.
   
   If you have not already, please read the BEAR Guild Rules
   
   

2. SECTION TWO: Get Involved in BEAR
   
   Speak Up
   As a new member, it can be somewhat daunting on where to start to get plugged in to your new community. We want to let you know that you are more than welcome to always talk in any of our chats and channels (including voice chats), as well as in-game guild & alliance chat. We actually ENCOURAGE you to chat, ask questions, and get to know everyone. We love meeting new faces and helping each other out. You can always ask questions in ⁠our Newplayer Questions or Guild Chat channels in discord.
   
   Content
   We do all content, except for murdering blues and red hand thieving. There are many playstyles you can chose from within Outlands. Please select all of the playstyle roles you plan to play in our ⁠Channels & Roles (found in our discord server). This will give you a tag for if others of your playstyle want to group up for something or have a question.
   
   Our Headquarters
   Our guild house is located in Whisperwood, found at the Whisperwood Cottage POI. We have all the utility items available to you including a stablemaster, innkeepper, magic item recycler, bank deposit box, distribution chest, storage shelf, item repair bench, battletrainer, and much more. You are free to use any and all of these items. One caveat with the storage shelf is that if you take items off to use, please restock what you used when you can.
   
   
   Bosses
   You will get to experience the thrill of boss runs! We are running them all the time, and if we aren’t, our allies typically are. You can see when we are running ours in ⁠our boss announcement channels in discord. When doing boss runs it is important to try to be in voice chat, even if you don’t have a mic just to listen to important instructions.
   
   

3. SECTION THREE: Adding Your Alts
   
   You will need to add all of your characters to the guild. You can self add your alt characters, below are instructions on that.
   
   1. Pull up account 1 on your character that is in BEAR.
   2. Start up a second Outlands client and pull up a character on account 2.
   3. Have these two characters next to each other in-game.
   4. From account 1, single left click your character on account 2.
   5. Click “Invite to Guild”.
   6. On account 2 character, press guild on your paperdoll to accept
   
   Note – We do allow alliance and roleplay alt character exemptions. Please contact an officer for more information and before doing so.
   
   Congrats! You have added your first alt. Continue to do this for all of your characters. Once complete, please make a post in ⁠#member-list on our discord with all of your character names. If you make any new characters in the future, just remember to add them to the member list.
