Common Questions and Answers

Who are the members of Order of the Golden Staff?

OGS members are mature, organized, highly dedicated, extremely skillful and adventurous. We share more in common than a guild tag. We are friends and hunting partners.

Many of us have been together for years and more than anything we are a family!

Who are the officers of Order of the Golden Staff?

Currently the officers and their alts are:
Guild Leader - Wizairde
AGM - Brendil
AGM - Cerelius/Sticks/Malchior
AGM - Delper

How old is Order of the Golden Staff?

The Order of the Goldenstaff was formed in 1992. The Guild began in the game NeverWinter Nights played on AOL. Several members are still playing in the guild to this day.

What are the Guild Values?

OGS is all about Family and treating each other with respect. We live the Creed "ONCE OGS ALWAYS OGS." We pride our selves with being fair and when we make a mistake we attempt to correct it immediately.

Does OGS power level its members?

OGS does not power level its members we prefer to group and build the toons as complete characters.

What are the Level requirements for OGS?

The current level limit for new members is 30. We do have an active base of level 35 plus in game, so it will be more difficult for those of lower levels to find hunting companions.

Do I need recommendations to join the guild?

No, you do not need recommendations/sponsors. However it is recommended of you to join OGS on as many raids/events/groups as possible in order to be considered as a candidate.

When will I get a Mentor?

Once you are invited into the guild you will receive a mentor shortly after.

How long is the Pledge process?

The time it takes to complete the pledge process is up to the Pledge and the Mentor. A pledge quest will be assigned and the mentor will monitor the progress and notify the Head of Admissions when the pledge is ready for induction.

What happens if I Detag?

We take membership in OGS seriously. Once tagged, if you remove your tag for any reason not approved by the Guild Leader in advance, you will not be allowed to be retagged for 90 days.

What happens if I don't Log into the game for an extended period of time?

We want to keep an active membership. It is a bit disheartening to see members inactive for long periods of time. Unless you are on approved leave, players may be taken off the roster after 200 days of non-activity, even though you are still part of the guild. When you do log back in, we are more than happy to re-tag you back into the guild. Just send an officer a /tell to get re-tagged. As our motto, once OGS, always OGS.

What is the OGS loot System?

The OGS Loot system is based on "Need before Greed" Most Items will be up for general Random looting. If during a Raid an Item is dropped that in the right hands will significantly help the guild the item may be awarded without a roll. This will be determined by the officers.

Will there be guild meetings?

Officers will hold guild meetings on a regular basis to discuss raid plans & performance and answer any questions its members may have. Guild meetings will be announced two weeks in advance, An are will be set up on the forums asking members to submit any questions or concerns they may have for the meeting.

Will the guild have raids?

Yes!

We are currently working towards that end. However we are a family casual guild. Some of us are a bit more hard core than others. One of the huge benefits of EQ2 is that we can raid on our schedule, not the game's schedule. Most raids will be announced at least 3 days in advanced. However some raids will happen spontaneously, like when there just happens to be many of us online and nothing to do.

We are currently aligned with Cohort Chalybeius for raiding and are now actively taking on high end content. As our numbers grow, so will the difficulty of our objectives.
