[2] Member: "Lorebound" - this rank would be comprised of trial members that have shown they are willing to join the wiki and become active both there and in the game. They wouldn't gain any new responsibilities, but would be moved up the list for events like instancing and gain access to things like guild storage and the like (if there is any).

[3] Coordinator: "Assisstant" - this rank would be comprised of members that have shown a particular interest in the guild's activity and growth as well as the wiki's. They would gain possible responsibilties along with access to extra things, perhaps even special functions and/or events. This rank would be the first to drastically drop in overall numbers as there wouldn't be many needed, though it should be at least twice as large as the Officer rank. They would be charged with being the first responders to cries for help within the game world - not to the point of putting themselves out, but within reason. They should also be active on the forums to help people seeking advice and answers for the game. Coordinators would also be the first rank to be able to schedule and begin guild events (small instances, RP events, exploration, etc.).

[4] Officer: "Professor" - this rank would consist of trusted wiki members/staff that wanted less responsibility. They are immediately charged with all prior listed rank descriptions and helping to keep the standards and good name of the guild and the wiki community. If there are disputes that cannot be handled between the two parties involved (within the guild) then they would be the go-to person. They should be, mostly, level-headed and make all attempts to be unbiased in any quarrells they help dissolve. They would be first rank to have an excessive amount of access to guild storage and things of this nature. They would most likely have the ability to promote tiral members to full member status, possibly to invite new members.

[5] Council: "Council/Small Council/Elder Council/etc" - this rank is comprised of trusted wiki members/staff that have shown a particular knoweldge base and willingness to share that information. They are immidately charged with all prior rank descriptions and each of the council seats holds a particular venue of expertise.

Council Seats:


 * First Ranger - charged with exploration and world PvE aspects of gameplay


 * [unkown] - head of the "Loreguard", charged with militant action and PvP aspects of gameplay


 * Chancellor - charged with guild relations (interal and external), being knowledgeable in the market as well as guild banking/storage


 * Engineer - charged with blanketted knowledge of the game, mechanics, possible patches/changes and technical aspects of the game

[6] Guild Leader: "Grand Overseer" - this rank has the final say in major events and problems. The guild leader rank from each of the three platforms would also make up a small council in the event that something needs to go above the local guild level. This is most unlikely, but it could happen. If there is a persistant issue with any member not upholding the standards of the guild/wiki then they have the final say if said member should be kicked. This rank is also the ultimate example of the standards we wish to uphold and show to the other guilds around us.
 * [unkown] - charged with story, lore, questlines, etc.  Essientially a lore master (could even be called that if we can't get a better title)

((None of the above ranks are final until guild formation and release of game, even so all ranks and titles and structure must pass a voting process as yet to be defined.))

Great idea
