Welcome to the JedRev family of SWTOR guilds!

Whether you have stumbled upon us through a web search or have recently joined one of our Star Wars: The Old Republic guilds, we welcome you to the JedRev family of guilds!  While most of our pages require you to be a registered member to view, we created this page to welcome new and potential members and introduce you to our core values and basic policies.  You can click on the small triangle to the left of the title in the boxes below to expand or minimize each topic.

JedRev guilds are family-friendly and culturally diverse.
We have members of all ages (13+), including parents whose younger children watch them play, and we take pride that our members come from a mosaic of cultures and nationalities.  We strive to cultivate a MMO gaming experience that is warm, welcoming, polite, and respectful for all members.  Please be polite and respectful in guild chat, guild groups, and guild Discord servers.  We do not tolerate hate speech, sexual harassment, trolling, cyberbullying, and other forms of online harassment.  We ask that you refrain from all caps yelling, profanity, sexual topics, IRL politics, IRL religion, begging for credits/gear, and other disruptive behavior.  Whether you role-play your characters or not, we are all here to take a break from IRL and enjoy playing in the SWTOR universe.

JedRev guilds are built on fairness.
Whether you are here for the storylines, end-game content, achievements, player-versus-player combat, role-playing, or something else -- we are all here to enjoy gaming in the SWTOR universe, so we have a few policies to keep things fair for all player types.  We ask that you refrain from posting game spoilers in guild chat and Discord.  Please select only 'Greed' or 'Pass' for all loot rolls when you are in guild groups or operations teams.  Items in the guild bank are there for you to use; however, reselling items taken from the guild bank is not tolerated.

JedRev Officers are here to help.
Being a JedRev Officer is not for power or personal benefit. Our officers freely give up their personal time and gaming time to work both in view and behind the scenes.  Their hard work and dedication to our family of guilds is remarkable, and they continuously earn the respect they are given.  We ask that you please be courteous to our officers.  If you have a problem or concern with a guild policy or an officer's actions, please contact a senior officer through a whisper, in-game mail, or direct message on Discord.

We use Loyalty Points (LP) to track and measure your participation within each guild.  Your LP can be viewed by looking at the member notes of your primary character in the guild window (press 'g' then look at the 'Roster' tab).  All members start out with 2 LP after completing their Guild Introduction with an officer.

How do I earn LP?
LP are earned for attending guild meetings, attending squad meetings, participating in guild events, participating in squad events, participating in group activity with other guild members, donating encryptions to the guild, and more!  LP earned in one guild are not transferrable to another guild.

How do I earn ranks?
Members promote to higher ranks in the guild at 10 LP, 35 LP, and 150 LP.  Each promotion in rank increases your available guild funds for repairs.  The first two promotions increases the number of toons you can have in the guild, and the third promotion gives you access to summon groups and operations teams to your location via the guild flagship.  Members who have earned at least 20 LP can apply to become a junior officer with the guild.  Some ranks are also transferrable to other JedRev guilds!

How many characters can I have in the guild?
Your main/primary character (aka toon) is the first of many characters you can bring into the JedRev family.  Once you complete your Guild Introduction (GI) with an officer, you become a full member of our family.  That allows you to register for member access here on our website, join our Discord server, bring in a second character (aka alt), and request an invite for your first toon to our other JedRev guilds.  You are awarded more character slots for alts in each guild at 10 LP and 35 LP with a maximum of 4 toons per guild.

What do I have to do to maintain membership?
We expect all members to adhere to our Core Values, follow our few policies, and enjoy playing the game.  We do not have Conquest (CQ) requirements or other activity requirements for membership.  We clean the guild rosters once a week to remove alt toons that have not logged in for 25+ days and remove primary toons that have not logged in for 30+ days.  We also clean new members who were invited 15+ days ago and have not completed their guild introduction (GI).  We do this in the spirit of fairness to ensure that membership slots are available for active players.  Don't fret if your toon gets kicked in weekly cleaning. You can always ask for a re-invite, and we stored your membership records if you had at least 5 LP on your primary toon.

What is a primary toon?
Your primary toon in each guild is the one that we attach your LP and other membership information in your Member Notes.  You don't have to do anything special with your primary toon and it does not have to be the toon you play the most.  Your alt toons' Member Notes will point to your primary toon where your records are stored.  Your alts can be moved in and out of the guild as you desire.  Please contact an officer if you want to remove your primary toon so we can move your LP, squad records, etc. to the alt that you want to be your new primary toon.

What is a main toon?
Your main toon has to be one of your primary toons.  This is the toon's name we will use for your website registration and Discord nickname.  Your main toon, like your primary toons, does not have to be the one you play the most.  Please contact a senior officer if you want to change your main toon so we can update your website and Discord information in addition to your LP, squad records, etc.

Each JedRev guild has a fully unlocked and decorated flagship (FS) and stronghold (SH).  Guild meetings are held on the flagship bridge.  Each activity squad has their own room to meet on either the flagship or the stronghold.  All of our flagships and strongholds have utility areas with access to your cargo hold, legacy cargo hold, guild bank, galactic trade network (GTN), vendors, modification stations, and more.

How do I get to the flagship or stronghold?
Press 'u' in-game to bring up the Stronghold tab then select 'Guild' on the left of the window.  You can then 'Travel' to the guild's FS or SH.

How do I leave the flagship or stronghold?
Click on 'Exit Area' above your minimap.  This will bring up a window allowing you four options:
- Exit to the planet the FS is orbiting or the planet the SH is located on
- Return to the where you were before you traveled to the FS or SH
- Exit to your personal starship
- Exit to the fleet

Our guilds have squads dedicated to learning and enjoying the variety of aspects of SWTOR gaming including flashpoints (FPs), uprisings (UPs), operations (Ops), galactic star fighter (GSF), player versus player (PVP), crafting, role platying, and more!  Once you have completed your Guild Intoduction you can register for membership on our website through Enjin, allowing you to see the pages and schedules for each of our activity squads.

Who runs the squads?
Overseers (Ovr) are command officers from the guilds' High Council (Republic) or Dark Council (Empire) who support the squad's leadership and needs.  Leads (LD) are senior officers with exceptional experience in the game aspect of their squad, schedule squad events, and manage the day-to-day needs of the squad.  Co-Leads (cL) are officers experienced in the game aspect of their squad.  Co-Leads spend their time leading events and teaching members the ins and outs of their specialty.  Activity Leads (aL) are officers and experienced members who lead squad events and help teach members.

How do I join a squad?
Joining a squad is easy!  All you have to do is be interested in and play that squad's aspect of the game.  Attending squad meetings, while not mandatory, is highly recommended as you'll learn how the squad works and earn a loyalty point (LP).  Squads run activity events after every meeting and at other times during the week.  Each squad has a system for awarding loyalty points (LP) for participating in squad activity events.

Do I have to join a squad?
Absolutely not!  The squads are there for you to enjoy the variety of SWTOR activities.  We encourage but do not require membership in any of the activity squads.

Can you explain the 'greed' only rule for guild groups?
When you are running with a group many items drop with loot options presented to everyone in the group: Need, Greed, Disassemble, and Pass.  The game gives priority to those who select Need or Disasssemble.  In the spirit of fairness, we expect you to always select Greed when you're running in a guild group so everyone has the same chance of receiving the loot.  You can always Pass if you are not interested in the loot item.  Operations groups have rules for when you can select Greed which will be explained by the operations leader at the beginning of the raid.

We have three Discord servers designed to enhance your experience in the SWTOR gaming universe and in the JedRev family of guilds.

JedRev
Our core JedRev server on Discord has a variety of text and VOX channels for JedRev members to communicate with each other.  Core channels are accessible to all JedRev members regardless of guild affiliation.  Each activity squad has their own section of text and VOX channels to communicate and coordinate squad events.  The link to join the core JedRev server can be found below the message of the day (MOTD) on the in-game guild window.  Once you have joined announce yourself with your main toon's name and your primary guild affiliation in the #announce_name channel.  Please note that you will only have access to a few text channels and no VOX channels until you have completed your guild introduction (GI).  Once an officer confirms your membership and GI completion, we will assign your handle (aka nickname), grant you member permissions, and announce your arrival with a welcome message in the #member_chat channel.

JR/RR Ops
Our operations server on Discord is dedicated to the special needs of our raid/operations squads.  The Ops server includes both text guides and video guides to each SWTOR operation.  You must be a member of one of our raid/operations squads to receive an invite and member permissions to the Ops server.

GLS
Our guild leadership (GLS) server on Discord is dedicated to the special needs of the officers for the JedRev family of guilds.

Do I have to join Discord?
Members are highly encouraged but not required to join our Discord servers.  Members of our raid/operations squads who are interested in hard mode (HM) and nightmare mode (NiM) operations are expected to join the Ops server.  Guild officers are required to join both our JedRev and GLS servers.

What if my computer doesn't like to run Discord and SWTOR at the same time?
No problem!  Discord has free apps in both the Apple Store (iPhone and iPad) and Google Play Store (Android devices) that you can use to join VOX channels during guild and squad events.

Do guild policies extend to non-guild chat channels?
As part of the JedRev family, we expect our members to be mindful of and adhere to our Core Values while enjoying the SWTOR universe.  Our prohibition of hate speech, sexual harassment, trolling, cyberbullying, and other forms of online harassment extends to all communication channels in SWTOR including general chat, PVP chat, trade chat, and pick up group (PUG) chat.

What happens if I violate a Core Value or policy?
Our guilds are built on fairness and we all make mistakes from time to time.  Most violations just result in a warning from an officer.  You are welcome to discuss the issue with the officer who warns you via whisper; however, do not argue with our officers in guild chat.  Repetitive or egregious violations may result in your guild rank being set to Muted which locks you out of the guild's chat, flagship, stronghold, and banks.

What happens if I get Muted?
Consider being Muted by an officer a time-out or cool-off period.  A senior officer will reach out to you via Discord or in-game mail to setup a time to meet with you and discuss what happened.  If that conversation goes well your guild rank and access will be restored.  If you fail to meet with a senior officer or that conversation goes poorly you will be kicked from the guild.  If you are kicked from any of our guilds while Muted, all of your toons will be kicked from all four JedRev guilds.

What happens if I get kicked out of the guild?
Being kicked out of the guild after being Muted is not the end of the world.  Perhaps you just need a more significant time-out or cool-off period and you can contact a senior officer via in-game mail or Discord DM to petition our Republic Council or Imperial Council to allow your return to the JedRev family.  Perhaps our JedRev culture is not what you are looking for in the game and you will find a more fitting home in a non-JedRev guild.
