Starting a Power Group

[Sighter Tnailog]

Anyone may register a Power Group at Althanas.

Power Group registration must be posted in the Character/PG Registration forum in the Realm of Greeting, and is subject to moderator approval just like new character profiles are. You must pay 100 GP to start a new PG, which can be contributed by multiple members.

After approval, you may begin acting as a clan -- that is, you may create a treasury and begin recruitment in the PG forum.

Registration

To register a power group please post in this forum with the following information:

1. The name of the group.
2. The group’s leader and membership roster.
3. The group’s in-character location, if any.
4. The group’s goals and purpose.
5. A link to the group’s website, if applicable.
6. Who is helping pay the registration fee, if anyone.

This can be done in any format you desire. Try to make your Power Group's motives as interesting as possible, and keep them original, just like you would that of a character.

After creating your PG, you may conclude registration by taking the following steps:

1. Access the Power Groups listing and click on the link at the bottom "Create a New Group."
2. Enter your group's name and a description including its goals and purpose.
3. Choose a group type. "Public" will allow anyone to enter. This is not recommended. "Moderated" will alert you whenever a member is requesting admittance and allow you to confirm or deny their request. Finally, "Invite Only" will not permit anyone to attempt to join; instead, you must personally invite the individual. Either of the two latter methods are recommended.

You may also create a treasury account according to the rules found in The Gilded Vault.

Once these two steps are complete and your group has been approved, you may proceed with any type of clan activity that you choose.

New Group Immunity

New groups will receive immunity from attack until the end of a two-month period, unless specifically requested otherwise.

New groups may not declare Clan War until after their period of immunity has expired. New groups may request an end to the immunity period early.

Secret PGs and other unofficial PGs are allowed, and require no registration. However, secret PGs cannot engage in Clan Hostilities, raids, intrigues, create a Treasury, or purchase Guild improvements unless the group has been officially registered. They can, however, post in The Minstrel's Perch.

Total Immunity

Groups that do not wish to be involved in the fighting and intrigue of the normal competitive PG system may stipulate that they desire total immunity. They cannot be attacked or participate as allies in an attack or a defense. They cannot own an Elite HQ, though they may still perform the necessary quests or make the necessary payments for an HQ of their own.

Total Immunity groups need not pay the 100 GP registration fee. See the complete rules for more information on total immunity.
