Guild membership (Guild Help)

For thematic purposes, a guild may restrict their membership to players of certain races, professions, and even alignments. To aid the guildmasters in tracking this information, the 'membership' command is available in the GM room. Violations are clearly marked.

For each of the three categories, the 'membership' command will display the percentage of active guildmembers fitting that category (two composite racial groups of 'elf' and 'man' are provided for quick reference). Activity is defined as 4 or more hours of aging over the previous 30 days. The minimum or maximum percentage of each category is set by the guildmaster when the guild is formed, with the thematic approval of Valinor.

The addition of a new guildmember will fail if the that person would cause the guild to violate any of its requirements.

Sample output from the membership command:

A guild's membership makeup is a vital thematic facet, and as such it must meet Valinor's approval. A guildmaster may mail the Guilds Liaison their request for an alteration in their membership makeup. If that is initially approved, the proposed changes may be submitted through the 'guildap' commands.
