All members start at the rank of NEW. To be promoted to Serf and attain guild privileges, all members must join the website, and send the Queen or King a message when done so.
Further ranks are gained by being a helpful and contributing member of the guild - advisors meet once a month to consider rank privileges, although promotions may be made at any time based upon merit.
All members are required to list their professions on the Public Notes section of the guild interface - if you are unsure how to do so, please ask an Advisor.

The guild bank is available for all guild members to use. The amount available to withdraw in items and in gold for repairs is based upon rank. We ask that if you are using the guild bank for repairs and the like, to please donate 100g a month to the coffers to help cover the costs.
Tabs are based on professions to make it easy to find the items one might be looking for. We try to keep both crafted and raw materials in each tab. Our general rule of thumb in regards to the guild bank is to not have an excess amount of one type of item in the bank, unless it's a highly used item. Patterns may be placed in any of the tabs - however, please keep the patterns grouped under the appropriate tab, and try not to duplicate them. It is prefered that guild bank be used for raw materials, so that Mats are readily available to our crafters, who can create the items required for our members use. If you have items that do not fit in any of the tabs, yet still wish to contribute to the bank, feel free to auction the items and place the proceeds in the guild bank.

We try to run regular raids and dungeons together, however this does not mean that you are restricted to just running instances with Arcanapocolypse! In general, we try to schedule a raid or "dungeon zerg" once a week. These can be found on the guild calendar, which can be accessed via the Events button above, and are advertised via the ingame calendar. Priority for spots at events is always given to members signed up on the website; If you have signed up, then you are committed to the event - please do not sign up unless you can commit the time. If an event has too many players for a single group - but not enough for multiple groups, then participants will roll for spots. Only in the circumstance of having a single player online who can fill a required spot in the party shall there be an exception (example : healer, tank). There should be no favoritism shown in this process. If there is an officer online, they will assist in making the determination, if needed, about an individual's eligibilty to participate in a dungeon, and that determination will be in the form of a gear check. If no officer or guild leader is present, then general consensus shall prevail.

Any member of Arcanapocolpyse is welcome to add events to the calendar - however, doing so means you are committed to running the event. Note that events need not be just current raids or dungeon crawls - they can be parties, trivia contests, old world dungeon events - whatever you so desire! If you have a great idea, but do not wish to be responsible for running the event, feel free to suggest it to one of our leaders.

Loot Rules
Arcanapocolypse does not use a formal loot system. We rely on our members own good sense to avoid strife, however we do have a general pattern that we follow:
Main-Spec Over Off-Spec: Items which are an upgrade for a member's main spec will be given priority over upgrades to a member's offspec.
Need before Greed: If an item is an upgrade to a member, he or she may roll "Need", trumping other member's "Greed" or "Disenchant" rolls.
Green on Vanity Items: If a vanity item drops - such as a mount - then all members will roll "Greed" on the item (provided they actually want it). This also applies to pets, recipies, crafting materials and the like.

We at Arcana strive to be a friendly, helpful guild, but sometimes personality conflicts happen. We have set up some guildlines to help deal with tricky situations, and ask that all members apply the following guidelines in their World of Warcraft experience:
