What types of Groups are there?

Group Type, selectable by the Administrator, is the nature of the group's organization:

  • Cross-Guild Organization: These are groups that exist between guilds, such as raiding organizations like Circle of Solaris and Accord.
  • Guild: This group is for a specific in-game guild, such as Shrouded Dawn, Knights Hospitaller, Eternal Path, etc.. If you are not the guildmaster for the guild, please request permission from your guildmaster before you create a group for your guild. If you are the guildmaster for a guild and you are not the group administrator, either because it was created before you joined the site or because of a change in leadership, just contact the site Moderators and ask them to change the group administrator to you (Moderators will, of course, verify that you are the current Guildmaster before assigning you as administrator). Typically, you'll want a Guild group to be set up so that the group administrator must approve applications to join the group.
  • In-Game Group: This group is for in-game, NPC groups (typically identified by the fact that you can gain Rep with those organizations). Examples include the Kirin Tor, The Scryers, Steamwheedle Cartel and Bloodsail Buccaneers. These are groups that are not guilds, but various people consider themselves a member. Typically, these groups should be set up to allow for members to sign up without authorization by the group administrator.
  • Other: This is a catch-all for groups that do not fall into the above types. If you choose "other," you will likely be contacted by a Moderator, who will either move your group into a more appropriate group type or create a new group type based on your idea.
