Here are some questions and answers if you’re interesting learning more about what we look for in our applications and characters. Below them you can find the application you’ll need to fill out in order to apply to this guild. Please send the application to these discord accounts:

A: We’re hoping to find creative, engaging and mature people who've committed a certain level of work and time to their character and the character's concept's uniqueness. That does not mean that new characters are not welcome, on the contrary. We only hope to find members that enjoy putting a level of depth in them.

A: We hope to find individuals that enjoy emoting, specifically 1-3 three paragraphs, occasionally a 4th if it fits the scenery. That being stated, every situation should be evaluated. While some sceneries fit three emotes, some don't. We’re hoping to find people that are willing to offer insight and vision appropriately, for example, more in important scenes and less in casual settings.

A: We use /roll 20. While there have been thoughts about making a DnD system, we’re focusing on other aspects of the guild rather than event systems. If the interest sparks from fellow members and officers we could make one, but for now, there is none.

A: Our events officially start at 20:00 server time. There is always the possibility of events being rescheduled but we hope to avoid delays and rescheduling. Primarily we do campaigns which consist of a three - four week storyline where we RP out a chapter during that time, once we return to our headquarters we’ll be focusing on part time RP, minor events and occasional OOC activities.

A: We focus on one storyline at the time. Each storyline is different and has a different structure. In each campaign we can acquire 4 relics, 3 minor artifact and 1 main artifact. Each item has a description, usage and lore to it. Some artifacts even have artwork (done by William Wither). We have sheets for weapons, armor, relics and NPCs. If you’re curious to see more of what these sheets involve, you can click the link below. Overall we hope to make each story impactful, to challenge our characters with new creative obstacles, from riddles to puzzles and battles to persuasion.

A: Yes. However, we’ll be evaluating Demon Hunters and Death Knights a little harsher due to the relative difficulty in roleplaying them well. Naturally, they must also fit the concept of the guild.

A: No. However, we hope people will take the consideration of thought that we’ll be travelling all around continents with all different levels, which requires flight, access to certain areas and the avoidance of mobs. So no, it’s not a requirement, but it’s a preference and something the officers will take for evaluation.

A: No. However, we do greatly appreciate disciplined characters that follow simple rules and commands, but we are no military guild. The officers will not hound at you for occasionally being mischievous and showing character, but know that your actions have consequences, especially when there is an IC budget involved and there are old relics that might easily break. Know that the officers of the guild can ask your character to resign.

I. How long have you been roleplaying for?

II. Have you been in other guilds? If so, what are their names?

III. How active are you in regards of game time and roleplaying?

IV. What are you hoping to find/achieve in this guild?

V. Where did you first find out/hear about The Emporium of Antiquity?

VI. What is your favorite part about RP?

Once you have applied to join the guild, you have the possibility of being part of a profession. This role is not connected to your rank, nor does it give you any authority, but it does impact the actual lore of the guild, as well as the lore of your character. This means that if we’re dealing with a certain task, and it is concerned with your profession, your character would be a main actor within the scene, given the opportunity to contribute through their knowledge of the field. It is an individual role, with the purpose of making the guild into what could be a genuine organization in Azeroth. It also acts as a spur for roleplay, offering your character more possibilities to contribute IC. You do not need to apply for any role, supposing you want to focus on the adventuring aspect of the guild, whilst refraining from the lore and studying.

Your character does not have to know the profession prior to joining the guild as we encourage all sorts of characters to join. For example, if you’d like your character to join and engage, starting as a mere apprentice in a given field and be sent out to occasional seminars and minor tasks, it is completely acceptable. You may apply to as many fields of study as you wish, but only two will be assigned to your character. Your character might also be educated in more than two fields, but your character will primarily focus on the two provided professions.
