Age of Conan: Charter
Charter
These rules are subject to change. If you notice a new post in this thread it would benefit you to
check what was updated. All new amendments to the rules will be highlighted in red for one
month so that everyone has ample time to review them.
I.
Mission Statement: Last of a Fallen Legion - Age of Conan (AoC) is a PVE
(raiding) and PVP guild based on the principles of friendship, loyalty, trust,
and commitment. Our focus is on endgame raiding and group world PvP and
mini-games. We are a causual guild with a few hard core players. We believe
in helping our Last of a Fallen Legion family members prepare for both
raiding and player vs. player combat. We are a guild that is open for change,
and will create the best possible environment we see fit. We have basic rules
and guidelines that gear our decisions in all aspects of every game
II.
General Rules:
Core Rules must be followed by all members of Last of a Fallen Legion regardless of
rank or time in guild.
a. Last of a Fallen Legion Guild members will respect all opposing guild
members. We realize that certain situations may be more frustrating than
you can handle. We ask you to respect Last of a Fallen Legion enough to
keep our reputation in the game as clean as possible. When you antagonize
or complain about another guild's actions in-game you aren't portraying a
positive image of Last of a Fallen Legion and we ask you to keep this in
mind in your endeavors in AoC.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
1. DO NOT antagonize or complain about another guild's actions in-game - in
global, tells or loca chatl, you aren't portraying a positive image of Last of a
Fallen Legion.
b. All Last of a Fallen Legion Members are eligible for the opportunity to be
promoted. However, the creation of this opportunity is entirely up to the
individual. If you want a promotion, you must prove yourself. "No
freebies, no friendsies". Consideration for promotion depends on several
factors: Dedication to the guild, following the rules, leadership abilities,
maturity, and ability to work with a team. Popularity doesn’t even register
on the radar in this one, so don’t even think about kissing ass, it may
actually hurt your chances. This guild takes its leadership positions
seriously. You must have the necessary skills (in all shapes and forms) in
order to be in the position required. Again, just because you’ve put in time
doesn’t mean you will automatically be promoted. Certain people work
better in certain roles. Members will be promoted to a leadership position
simply for the betterment of the guild and egotistic personalities will NOT
be tolerated.
c. Nobody in this guild will receive special treatment based on their race,
religion, sex, relationships (whether real life friend or mate) with other
guild members, rank, or participation. Everyone is equal in this guild. We
are all bound by the same rules, regardless of any differences.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
2. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Respect is of the utmost importance
in this guild, so please don't be an outcast.
d. Last of a Fallen Legion has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for cheaters,
hackers, or grief players. Any members found to behave in such a manner
will be IMMEDIATELY and PERMANENTLY ejected from Last of a
Fallen Legion. We consider cheating or hacking the highest crime in this
guild, as it could ruin our reputation forever, and will result in you being
permanently banned from this guild. If you discover a cheat, or know of
someone cheating, report it privately to the Guild Master (GM) or one of
the Guild Officers.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
3. ZERO TOLERANCE policy for cheaters, hackers, or grief players. We
consider cheating or hacking the highest crime in this guild, as it could ruin
our reputation forever, and will result in you being permanently banned from
this guild
III.
Alliances:
a. All alliances must be approved by the GM and Guild Council after
reviewing and interviewing with the leadership of the guild wishing to align
with us. The guild must accept our other alliance members. This means that
they will treat our circle of alliances as their own, following all of our rules of
conduct when they interact together.
b. Alliance leaders must meet with our leaders at least once a month. We need
updates on their situation and membership status as well as notifications of
any poor conduct from either side of the alliance. We also require this
communication to ensure continued interest in keeping the alliance strong. If
the leader of the allied guild cannot be reached after one week of attempting to
contact him, the alliance will be declared invalid and the ceasefire agreement
broken.
c. All Last of a Fallen Legion members are required to help our alliances
when needed. If you are reported as killing any alliance members, you will be
subject to a review with an officer and possible removal from the guild.
Current Alliances:
Immortal
IV.
KOS - Members of Last of a Fallen Legion should refrain from offering
assistance to any KOS guilds. In addition, all members are encouraged to
attack and harass these guilds within the constraints of our behavioral policies.
Current KOS:
Reincarnation
Primal Instinct
Carnage
Genesis
Usual Suspects
Flowers of Happiness
Dead Kow Kult
Valhalla
Exodus
Ninth Legion
Rain
F.E.A.R.
Murdering Gankers (or Ganksters)

ENGAGE AT WILL:

These guilds have shown themselves to be gankers, exploiters, or simply enemies of our
guild. You are encouraged to kill them as often as possible and in any way you please,
aside from using exploits., therefore the pvp rules of engament in Section XI do not
apply.
V.
Leadership:
a. Guild Master. Signy What (s)he says, goes. All major changes to
scheduling events or policies must be passed by either the guild leader or
guild council. Last of a Fallen Legion is a democracy with a guild council of
core players which establish policy for the guild, the GM is the “tie” buster
for all guild conflicts.
b. Guild Council (Officers)
Jetface
Zerc
Alacrius
Blkcircle
Impersonating officers will not be tolerated. If you are caught discussing anything
with another party while they are under the assumption that you are on official of the
guild is grounds for stiff punishment and/or removal from the guild.
VI.
Recruitment Process
Current recruitment is completed though open recruiting efforts and invites by Officers
and those given authority to do so. We require all guild members to read and become
familiarized with the guild chater and our core values. We have zero tolerance on
violations of guild policy or core values.
VII.
Guild Communication
a. The forums are the official form of communication. If you don’t read the
forums you are not up to date on guild policies. The forums are the best
possible place to communicate any problems or needs you may have in game.
Members helping members is what a guild is all about. For this purpose we
have a forum dedicated to multiple topics including weapon and armor
crafting, gemcutting and class builds.
b. If there is something you need to discuss in private with an officer please
use the forum’s Private Message (PM) system or ask one of us in vent to pull
you into a meeting room.
c. Guild Meetings: We currently have two different kinds of meetings;
officer, and guild-wide. Officers currently meet weekly or whenever
necessary. Guild-wide meetings will be scheduled on a monthly basis or as
needed.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
4. Speak your mind, but do it in an appropriate manner. Everyone has a voice in
the guild.
VIII.
Crafter Rules for Crafted Items and Materials
a. Last of a Fallen Legions do not charge guild members for the crafting of
items. We are a family here and helping a guild member benefits the guild
as a whole.
b. Materials needed to construct items requested by members is the
individual member’s responsibility to acquire the necessary materials for
the crafter. Under no circumstances will the members be required to
provide more material than is necessary to craft an item.
NOTE: Tips for our Guild Crafters are nice, but ethics must be observed. Crafters must
not demand tips.
IX.
Harassment:
a. Do not go out of your way to harass another member whom you know
won’t respond well. This builds up animosity and ultimately will lead to
unnecessary drama.
b. Last of a Fallen Legion believes in promoting a harmonious gaming/social
environment, where every member is treated with respect and dignity. No one
should feel threatened, intimidated or degraded on grounds of race, colour,
nationality, ethnic or national origins, sex, married status, sexual orientation,
disability, physical characteristics, health, age, religion or belief.
c. Harassment in forums, in-game or out-of-game is unacceptable and will not
be permitted or condoned. Examples might include:
racially derogatory remarks or insults;
slandering online grafitti or slogans;
racist 'jokes', banter, ridicule or taunts;
using a disparaging or offensive tone when communicating with people
from certain racial groups;
avoiding people because of their racial group;
having unrealistic expectations of performance or imposing excessive
workloads on people, based on their racial group;
unnecessarily picking on individuals from particular racial groups; and
sexist or biased comments.
c. All members should encourage a person who says they have been bullied
or harassed to seek help, and be sensitive to their feelings; and refrain
from taking part in, encouraging or condoning gossip about cases of
alleged or actual harassment or bullying.
d. All complaints of harassment or racial discrimination will be treated
seriously and dealt with promptly through the complaints procedure (via
the Forum, in-game tells to officers or PMs to officers). Disciplinary
action, including removal from the guild, may be taken against any
member found responsible for racial discrimination or harassment.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
5. Harassment will not be tolerated for any reason. If you make someone feel
seriously uncomfortable, you will be under consideration for immediate
removal at the discretion of the Chapter Leader. Proof can be submitted in the
form of another witnessing member, screen shots, or chat log. Last of a Fallen
Legion is meant to be a friendly environment, for men, women, and of course
farm animals.
4.A A violation of the harassment policy may be sent to a council member in
the event that in-game leadership is involved, or after pursuing all avenues you
still belive your problems have not been addressed properly."
X.
In-Game Issue Resolution:
a. If a member of Last of a Fallen Legion - Age of Conan has an in game
issue or dispute which cannot be settled via personal tells, the member
should bring the issue to one of the in-game officers or should PM an
officer via the message boards for assistance with resolving the problem.
b. If the member's issue/problem is with an Officer of Last of a Fallen
Legion - AOC, the member should feel free to speak with the GM of the
Age of Conan chapter or a member of the Last of a Fallen Legion Council.
c. If the member's issue/problem is with the GM of the Age of Conan
chapter, the member is encourage to PM Zed on the message boards for
assistance in resolving the issue.
d. Please do not take your personal offenses to guild chat. While the
Officers of Last of a Fallen Legion - AOC, and members of the Last of a
Fallen Legion Council are more than happy to assist you with issue
resolution, the general member most likely does not want to read about why
you and another member don't get along in game. We are all adults in this
chapter, please act like it. Do not rant and rave about why you think
something or someone sucks.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
6. Follow the chain of command. Decisions will always be made and finalized
by using the chain of command. Please speak to an officer asking to be
pulled down in vent or send a PM via the forums.
e. Again, please be considerate to others in guild and things will go much
more smoothly during your stay in Last of a Fallen Legion. Most
importantly, HAVE FUN! KICK ASS, HAVE FUN KICKING ASS! Make
the game enjoyable, not just for yourselves, but for those kicking ass with
you!
XI.
PvP RULES:
a. Do not kill any alliance members. Do not attack Immortal. We have a
strong alliance with them and breaking this rule will result in removal
from the guild. If you are attacked by Immortal, defend yourself and
disengage. Make sure you get the attackers name and inform a guild
officer (such as Signy, Jetface, or Zerc).
Note: From time to time, we do duel with immortal for practice. In this case, this rule
does not apply during the duel. However, try not to get angry and do not trash talk
Immortal.
b. Do not antagonize or degrade players or guilds in any global chat
channels in game. If you have something to say to your enemies, please
say it locally. Globally whining or degrading a player or guild does not
reflect Last of a Fallen Legions moral standing, regardless of the
situation.
c. Do not grief or spawn camp unless you have very good reason to.
Refrain from spawn camping unguilded players or those from neutral
guilds. Remember that this is just a game and there is no reason to be
an asshole. Do not gank neutral guilds or unguilded players. In AoC,
ganking essentially means attacking with an unfair advantage, whether
it is 6v1, while they are engaged in combat, or other situations in which
you have little chance of losing. This type of pvp does nothing to
improve your skill and gives our guild a bad name.
Note: If you are attacked by any player (except Immortal) this rule no longer applies.
We aren't gankers but will happily kill anyone who engages us, no matter how much of
advantage we may have
d. Do not kill anyone marked as a friend of the guild. (HOS)
e.
Do not assist anyone marked as an enemy. (KOS)
f. If you are in a pick-up group and they begin attacking a group with any
HOS or alliance members in it, remove yourself from the fight and
explain the situation to those you are grouped with.
g.
Do not fight in PvP if your intention is to give players murder points.
This is considered a violation of our moral and ethical integrity.
h. Do not attack anyone talking to an NPC. This is considered an exploit
by Funcom, although they don't do much to enforce it anymore
Note: to clarify, we encourage our members to develop pvp skill and enjoy the ruthless
playstyle of Tyranny. Attacking any player (not in Immortal) on even ground is not only
acceptable, but encouraged.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
7. We encourage our members to develop pvp skill and enjoy the ruthless
playstyle of Tyranny. Attacking any player (not in Immortal) on even ground
is not only acceptable, but encouraged. We DO NOT attack players talking to
NPC’s, have mobs on them or spawn camp or gank.
XII.
Ventrilo Usage Policy - Ventrilo is a tool to improve member or non-member
communication, for grouping, Raiding, PvP, and mostly for socializing. In
order to control this environment so it doesn't become a verbal battle ground
we are imposing the following Policy for it's use.
a. No discussion of Religion, Politics, Drug Use or it's legality will be
allowed in vent. These topics are generally passionate and have a tendency
to get heated, and can be offensive to others' beliefs or stances on the
subject and should be avoided.
Code of Conduct - Last of a Fallen Legion Core Rules
8. Don't talk about religion, politics, race, or any other such category.
Arguments about religion or politics are prohibited at all times, in game and
out. Many people have strong feelings about these topics, and it is easy for
heated arguments to arise. If you feel the need to talk about these topics there
are many forums already out there designed for this."
b. All members and non-members should be treated with respect and
sensitivity. At no time should someone feel unwelcome in vent. No one is
allowed to talk about another Last of a Fallen Legion member in a
negative tone or manner in a channel with other members and more

issue or your feelings about another member please use a private channel
or post your issue in the Complaints & Ideas forum for your chapter.
Please request that an Last of a Fallen Legion Officer moves into a private
area to discuss the issue.
c. Vent participation is required and mandatory for Guild meetings to allow

questions once the relevant information is passed.

inebriated. Ultimately your mental state is your responsibility, and the
things you say and do can be disruptive and/or violate the vent usage
policy in which you will still be held accountable.
3.

refrain from lashing out in vent and creating an incident out of
frustration. At the same time, we ask the channel's audience to be
understanding and not inflame the frustrated member.
4. PvP: Keep in mind with these engagements or possible engagement

people need to clear vent and listen for incoming intel and Target calls.

not use the lobby or common area.
5. Raiding: Ventrilo can be open until we are about to engage a Boss. In
preparation and during Boss fights, the channel must be kept clear to
allow the raid callers and raid leader to issue commands, and to allow
the entire raid to hear their instructions. All raider should be using the
raid channels during these events.

their guild and ours, and to conduct themselves according. All Allied

environments that may not established. (example: BF2, counterstrike
