Guild Ethics
We are a cohesive unit, working together as one big happy family. You are to treat other guild members like your brothers and sisters. Any ill will or attempt to be greedy directly conflicts with our mission. Do not bring hostility towards your BEAR brethren, and always be helpful. Integrity of the highest degree is always expected and required.

Proper ethics are the foundation of BEAR, and if you are found to be someone with poor ethics, you will be removed.

Voice Chat Etiquette

• Be mindful of how you speak in any BEAR voice chat channel.

• Be polite when speaking with others.

• Do not talk over others when speaking

• Be POSITIVE. Constant negativity is not allowed in BEAR. (Ex: Yelling that you keep dying and going on a 10-minute rant.)

• Listen to instructions from Sages or Officers when doing group activities.

• Don’t be annoying

• Don’t dominate the VC channel. Give others an opportunity to speak and chat as well.

Player Conduct
BEAR, as a guild, follows the conduct protocols that the Outlands staff has established. This includes in-game chat, voice chat, and server chat. We are a guild filled with men and women from all corners of the world with all different personal opinions and beliefs.

While engaging in any form of chat, either in-game or on discord, please be respectful of the expected conduct for players.
