History:

There are 2 ways that any guild can structure its guild member advancement. By either:

Orginally, this guild was going to a have a dual matrix system. It would of worked as follows...

i.e.
Let's say you gain enough XP to level up to level 30. If you are male, you would earn the rank of Baron. If female, the rank of Baroness.
  • ... Ranks above Baron ...
  • Noble Baroness (Distuingished Baron)
  • Noble Baron (Distuingished Baron)
  • Baroness (Female)
  • Baron (Male)
  • ... Ranks below Baron ...

Until you level up to the next rank of Count (or Countess), you have the opportunity of gaining a noble title. A notable act, such as offering to help other guild mates, offering help in the general chat, etc, are some of ways you can earn the noble title. Once an officer has seen (or heard) you perform this act (or you have been nominated by a fellow guild-mate) you would be immediately promoted to Noble Baron (or Noble Baroness) rank.

Once you acquire enough XP again, to earn level 40, you would be promoted to rank of Count, or Countess, but lose the distuingished title. You woud again have the opportunity to perform a noble act again.   :-)

But alas, the total number guild ranks are very limited, so this ranking schema is sadly not implemented.

For those interested, the complete guild ranking would of been...

Guild Title Notes
  • Loosely based on "Titles of Nobility" & Heraldry

  • Honored titles are lost at the next promotion. In order to receive one, a Guild Officer must see you help a non-guildie, or you must be nominated by guildmate(s).

  • Clergy and Knight titles were rejected, since not everyone is a knight or priest.

Historical Notes:
  • Titles in England are in descending order, prince, duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron, baronet, and knight.
