Involvement: Players vs Team
« on: December 10, 2009, 03:02:36 am »
Having heard rumors during my time being, but I prefer to gather insight first-hand:

If I lead a guild, can I join the team as a GM while still remaining leader of that guild?
Are there any restrictions regarding my current ingame-being?

Sorry, I dont use IRC=x
I merely ask for the rules, or aren't they public? If you cannot answer here, maybe any specific enough link to a common one would do?

It takes less than a minute to get on IRC.

Xillix is always looking for some fresh meet, you can't build an empire without a lot of bodies.

I believe that has been the custom in the past however.

In answer to your original question while it is not forbidden to be a guild leader and GM it is not recommended as it does leave you very vulnerable to accusations of favouritism

Personally I don't like it at all when a gm is a guild leader also. It splits your attention and your loyalties are mixed. I despise even the APPEARANCE of favoritism.

When I joined the team I gave up my guild.

In the end it's about what's best for the game and how best you can serve your guild mates.
