The Improved Guild Bank

The Guild Bank is close to being re-opened after the hacking to both Sharayana and Myself.

With the much appreciated help of Izarella, we have sorted everything out and come up with a new and improved way of looking after our Bank. Lets face it, the Guild Bank has been a mess of stuff no one really wanted, so it has been our aim to change that.

For the First week or so, the Guild Bank will be open for Donations Only. This is so we can ’stress test’ how people go with Depositing the correct items.

So… we have a host of rules relating to donations. Each Tray defines what we wish to have donated. Please check the appropriate Info related to each applicable tab to see if the item you wish to donate is applicable.

Our 6 Tabs have been set up as follows:

The Deposit Tray
- Members are to place bankable items in this slot.
- The Guilds ‘bankers’ are then to move your deposited items into the correct tab.
- Nothing can be withdrawn from this Tab.
- Make sure the items you place in here meeting the following requirements of the 5 Tabs.
- Items that don’t reach these requirements will be sent back.
- You may deposit Green Items with an Item Lvl of 116+. These items will be disenchanted and the materials banked.
- No Darkmoon Faire Cards.
- You cannot withdraw from this Tab.

Trade Goods
- This tab is for Trade Goods that are suitable for Northrend “learned” Recipes only.
- Items useful for the following professions may be deposited:
Alchemy
Blacksmithing
Enchanting
Engineering
Inscription
Jewelcrafting
Leatherworking
Tailoring
- We do not want anything related to the seconday professions, this includes Ore. If you want to donate metals, please convert your Ore into Bars.
- We are also holding Crystalised Life, Fire etc… (20 of each Maximum)
- We will hold a limited amount of all materials, i.e We don’t want to fill this tab with Frostweave Cloth.

Rare Gear
- The items required for this Tab must have an Item Level of 116+
- All items are to be of Rare (i.e. Blue) Quality.
- If we see duplicates or triplicates of Rare Items, we will send them to the AH. The money from this will be used to purchase Rare Crafting materials.
- Gnomish Army Knives are the exception to the above rules, but we only wish to carry a small number of these.

Item or Character Enhancement
- Item Enhancements that a Lvl 70+ toon would find useful are deposited here. Emphasis on the word “useful”.
- Examples…
Leg Armor
Spellthread
Eternal Belt Buckle
Scroll of Enchant for Weapons
Scroll of Enchant for Armor
Cut Gems of Rare (i.e. Blue) Quality.
- For Glyphs… please donate ones we don’t have and that are useful. We will be checking these carefully.

Raid Items
- This tab is for Raid Items used by Lvl 80’s.
- Items include:
Flasks
Fish Feasts (materials to make the fish feasts)
Drums
Scrapbots
Ammunition
- Other “useful” items that benefit Raiding.

Treasure Trove
- This tab is for the following:
Rare and Uncommon Crafting Materials, such as Eternals and Frost Orbs.
Epic Materials such as Void Crystals or Gems.
Epic Items that are Bind on Equip.
Non-Combat Pets.

A final reminder…

The Guild Bank is looked after buy your Guild’s Officers, especially Izarella, Zio and Myself. We are putting a lot of time and effort into this so please bare this in mind when you are donating. Putting in worthless items, or stuff that does not meet the new rules, is a waste of our time.

Lastly…

Post on the Forums any querries or sugestions regarding the items you are allowed to deposit.

Please Watch Out for Phishing!

This is a general warning to all Guild Members of Gnome Land Security.

There are a lot of emails and in game mails circulating at the moment that are trying to steal your password! This is called “Phishing”.

This term refers to an email or a website which poses as an official Blizzard Entertainment communication or site, but which is really just a trick to get unsuspecting users to send their account information to someone who should not have it. If account information is sent to one of these “phishers,” it usually winds up in a malicious party’s database list of accounts to compromise or steal.

These messages are getting more and more crafty. Asking you to log into different sites or to confirm details with them.

Please remember: Blizzard will NEVER ask you for your password.

An Example of this SCAM.

Like a classic phishing scam, the email starts off with fear tactics then instructs the recipient to send their personal account information to rectify the situation. Of course, those who comply with the bogus request will have their World of Warfcraft account stolen. A copy of the WoW phishing email follows:

From: wowaccountadmin
Subject: World of Warcraft – Account Information Change Instructions
To:
Date: Friday, August 21, 2009, 4:50 PM

Greetings!
It has come to our attention that you are trying to sell/trade your personal World of Warcraft account(s).
As you may or may not be aware of, this conflicts with the EULA and Terms of Agreement.
If this proves to be true, your account can and will be disabled. It will be ongoing for further investigation by Blizzard Entertainment’s employees.
If you wish to not get your account suspended you should immediately verify your account ownership. If the information is deemed accurate, the investigation will be dropped.
This action is taken because we at Blizzard Entertainment take these sales
quite seriously. We need to confirm you are the original owner of the account.
This is easiest done by confirming your personal information along with concealed information about your account.
You can confirm that you are the original owner of the account by replying to this email with:

Use the following template below to verify your account and information via email.
* First and Surname
* Date of birth
* Address
* Zip code
* Phone number
* Country
* Account e-mail
* Account name
* Account password
* Secret Question and Answer
-Or-
WoW CD-Key
Show * Please enter the correct information
If you ignore this mail your account can and will be closed permanently. Once we verify your account, we will reply to your e-mail informing you that we have dropped the investigation.
We ask you to NOT change password until the investigation is fully completed.
Blizzard Entertainment Inc
Account Administration Team
P.O. Box 18979, Irvine, CA 92623

Account Administration Team

We have had TWO guild members who have been victims of “hacked accounts” in the last week. Please do all you can to avoid becoming another victim.

The Mohawk Grenade!

Mr. T’s Night Elf Mohawk Returns!

So, what is the Mohawk Grenade?
The Mohawk Grenade is Mr. T’s latest invention: an in-game item that, when hurled at another character, gives everyone within the blast radius an instant T-riffic haircut. Don’t worry, you and your friends will look gooooood.

Where do I get it?
Quit your jibber-jabber and claim your Mohawk Grenades from any of the Night Elf Mohawk NPCs camped outside every starting zone.

Is this a permanent item?
Each Mohawk Grenade has five charges before exhausting its power, and you’re welcome to claim another once the charges are gone.

How long will the Mohawk Grenade be available in-game?
Claim Mohawk Grenades starting November 16th. They’ll be available until… well, until the Night Elf Mohawk decides his work is done.
