Questions & Answers
General Questions:
【Ⓠ⒈】Are you guys (and gals) recruiting now?
【Ⓐ⒈】It will be sparse right now. It's all preliminary of course, as there's not much we can do at this point in the way of playing. However, feel free to brainstorm and come up with your character and tell us about it! All in all, the number of members will depend on member activity. If there aren't too many people active during the week then more members may be accepted. This is so that members can easily chat, private RP, quest, and raid dungeons/instances together.

【Ⓠ⒉】Are there any specifics to making our characters?
【Ⓐ⒉】Yes, and no. Obviously we need to stick to the canon game information. For example, you can't go making up spells and stuff your character can do, since in-game your spells/abilities will be given to you depending on what your class is. Also, you can't make up a race, or use some race that isn't in the game. Again, obvious stuff.
More to the point though, remember that for the time being, our characters aren't bad asses. We're just starting out, and we haven't even begun to, say, study magic, or martial tactics. For now, we are sadly naught but noobs! D:

【Ⓠ⒊】Will we start RP'ing with our characters before the game comes out or something?
【Ⓐ⒊】If members of the guild want to start interacting as your characters, that's all fine and dandy. I'd like you to take it elsewhere though, until we get a forum. Still, if you plan to do this, remember that we don't have our classes OR professions yet. We're just sitting around being nothing special, really.
EDIT: We do have an area sectioned off in the Gaia guild that will have some RP involvement, though ideas are still in the works. It's labeled "The Guild Hall" and for the time being you may create your profile thread and a bit else. For more information, hop on into the Gaia guild and check out the STICKY in The Guild Hall. ;D

【Ⓠ⒋】What is a PageMaster?
【Ⓐ⒋】A PageMaster is essentially an officer of the guild appointed by yours truly. PageMaster is also NOT just a title. If you are elected a PageMaster, you will have responsibilities concerning the well-being, maintenance, and promotion of the guild. Benefits include having a strong voice in the guild's decisions, being part of the elite squad of Grimoire Hearters, and... Well, more to come, haha.

【Ⓠ⒌】I wanna be a PageMaster OMFG!! How duz dis happen?? :0
【Ⓐ⒌】Members may be appointed to the PageMaster position in several different ways. Brigsby is pre-emptively promoted for helping me create the guild. The best way to gain PageMaster status is by putting in a large amount of effort to help the guild. In the future, however, we're thinking about holding PageMaster tournaments every so often utilizing an elimination bracketed 1v1 duel tournament. The winner of such a tournament will become a PageMaster.
Also note that I will most likely not be electing any new PageMasters for a little while, probably not until Open Beta. I do have a couple very strong candidates in mind, however, two in particular that have really done all they can to promote the guild in their own way. You likely know who you are. ^^

【Ⓠ⒍】PageMaster tournament? Sounds awesome! Any more specifics?
【Ⓐ⒍】Nothing set in stone, not even the tournament idea, really. Right now, we're just spit-balling and hoping for feedback. HOWEVER, we will most likely run the tournament on an invitation basis. In other words, we pick a set number of people whom we feel would best represent the guild to participate in the tournament. Get picked by being helpful and doing whatever you can to promote the guild in a positive light!

【Ⓠ⒎】You mentioned the name 'Grimoire Heart' comes from Fairy Tail. Is there any relation or parallels intended here?
【Ⓐ⒎】 Nope, we just liked the name! We are huge Fairy Tail fans though, so feel free to bring it up in OOC areas! We'll geek it up!

【Ⓠ⒏】 Will we get milk and cookies?
【Ⓐ⒏】 LOTS ^o^ Our supply of cookies AND milk is enough to make the dark side blush <3

Role-Playing Questions:
【Ⓠ⒈】In Fairy Tail, Grimoire Heart is a Dark Guild. Are we a Dark Guild?
【Ⓐ⒈】In D&D terms, looking to be more Lawful Neutral than good or evil. For those unfamiliar with D&D, Lawful Neutral is essentially the moral affiliation stating that Good and Evil are relative and that the balance between the two must be discovered by the individual. Characters with a Lawful Neutral alignment will not seek out methods to hurt others yet will also not necessarily accept the typical view of what is right.

【Ⓠ⒉】Will there be "Rank Among Members"?
【Ⓐ⒉】So far we have GuildMaster, PageMaster, and members. When Open Beta comes out and the guild has more members there will be another ranking system established among members similar to Fairy Tail.

【Ⓠ⒊】When will we RP?
【Ⓐ⒊】During the month there will be opportunities to gather as a guild and RP together. The topics of the RP can very. Guild Towns may become an RP only area. These opportunities will be scheduled at least two weeks in advance unless it is of utmost importance. Please check the EVENTS selection of the site for the Events Calendar.

【Ⓠ⒋】What do we use to RP?
【Ⓐ⒋】So far, Party and Guild Chat will be used during times of RP. Say Chat can be used when in Guild Towns.

【Ⓠ⒌】How do I RP?
【Ⓐ⒌】MMO RPing is different from Forum RPing in that the dreaded one-liner is more valued than the block of tl;dr. MMO RPing in real time and sitting around for 15 to 30 minutes for a reply will not cut it. You can use descriptive text in moderation. Below is a very boring example post between two players:
Knave: "Hand me that pig," he pointed.
Hearts: Okay ::she picks it up and gives it to him::
Knaves: "Thanks"
Hearts: No problem.
Both players used speech AND descriptive text. You can also note that both players used different methods of RPing. There is no set method to RP in this guild but please remember that you MUST use some way of differing between speech and action.
