Our Guild Bank

The Horn and Hoof Academy's NEW Guild Bank currently consists of two tabs:
  • Tab 1 is for Materials - a place to put the stuff from which we make other things (leather, cloth, gems, ore, herbs, etc.)
  • Tab 2 is for Equipment - here we'll store unused armor and weapons.
When you are looting corpses, feel free to put into Tab 1 or 2 the items you formerly sold to a vendor for a few copper. This will help the guild to make items needed by players, and to make extra gold for the guild.

A note about Tab 2: I have organized this tab such that the first two columns contain gear for levels 1-10, the second two columns contain gear for levels 11-20, and so on. This organizational approach will make it easier for those who are looking for level-appropriate armor and weapons. Please help me keep it organized in this way.

I would love to add a third tab to the Guild Bank, but the next one will cost us 500 gold. I don't have that much available, so we'll need to hold a bake sale, or something.

Introduction

Looking for a hardcore raiding guild? That's not us. Hoping to spend a lot of time on end game pursuits? You should probably look somewhere else.

Horn and Hoof is a VERY casual guild, whose purpose for existing is two-fold:
  1. Provide a social community that can share goods and experiences
  2. Help new WoW players get started and begin leveling up.
So if this is your first time playing World of Warcraft, the Horn and Hoof Academy will provide you with resources to grow, learn, and experience the wonder of Azeroth. You might make some new friends, too.

Be sure to read more in our sections on what you can expect, and what we expect from you as a member.

We are a Horde guild on the Crushridge US Realm.

Guild Ranks and Promotions

Horn and Hoof Academy has only six ranks, 'cuz we like to keep things simple and easy. They're cleverly named to represent the hierarchy of a college or university, but not that cleverly.

Promotions and demotions are only performed by the faculty (i.e., the Dean or a Professor). The criteria for promotion are pretty fluid, although we generally promote a player from Prospective Student to Freshman when they have increased their character by five levels since joining and have been in the guild for at least two weeks.

Being demoted can occur when a player is deemed to be violating the Code of Conduct.


Dean
This is the Guild Leader. This player has all of the privileges available. There is only one Guild Leader at a time.

Professor
Professors have the same privileges as the Dean, except they cannot dissolve the Guild, and cannot change the settings on the Guild Bank. These are founding members of the guild, and share in its management and upkeep.

Grad Student

Grad Students are trusted members of the guild who have full access to the guild bank, can invite new members, and can listen in on officer chat speak. They can also modify the Message of the Day (MOTD).

Undergraduate
Undergraduates are full members of the guild. In addition to the privileges accorded Freshmen, they have deposit/withdrawal access to some parts of the guild bank and can withdraw gold from the guild bank.

Freshman
Freshman have full access to the Guild Chat channel. They also can use Guild Bank funds for repairs. Freshman can only view the contents of the Guild Bank tabs, and must ask a faculty member (Dean or Professor) about any items in which they are interested. Freshman are allowed to deposit items in the Guild Bank (this definitely improves your rep within the guild!).

Prospective Student

These are new guild members, or members who are on probation. Prospective Students do not have Guild Bank Access, and they can only listen on the Guild Chat channel.


Available privileges are: guild chat listen, guild chat speak, officer chat listen, officer chat speak, promote, demote, invite member, remove member, set MOTD, edit public note, view officer note, edit officer note, and modify guild info.
