Officers strongly encourage cohorts of alea iacta est to use the guild bank often.

We encourage the donation of items or materials equal in value to what you are withdrawing, or gold to purchase more bank tabs. However, no one should refrain from withdrawing items from the bank because they do not yet have items to donate. Many of our members have started off with literally no gold on this server, and once they were comfortably established, have become great contributors to AIE. We want to help everyone become established!

All guild members can donate gold to the guild bank. This is used towards purchase of the final (sixth) guild bank tab. Because of the size of our guild and the problems that might ensue, AIE has no plans to institute a policy of using guild bank gold for repairs or for member withdrawals at this time.

Plebs cannot withdraw from the guild bank. They can request items from those of Officer rank only (Centurions, Praetorians, Imperator). It is not ok to obtain items from the guild bank from a non-officer guild member.

Cohorts can deposit and withdraw from the first and second tabs. Withdrawals are limited to five per day.

Centurions can deposit into all guild bank tabs, and may withdraw from the first three tabs.

Praetorians and higher can deposit into all guild bank tabs, and may withdraw from all tabs.

This means our most valuable items will be on the 4th and 5th tabs and may not be immediately accessible if our highest level officers are not online. These items can be requested via in-game emails or tells to an officer or via .

We ask that people consider the value of the item they are depositing, since the number of slots is extremely limited, especially for a guild of our size. Each slot costs close to 10g (five bank tabs purchased: 4350g divided by 490 slots). When the sixth tab is purchased, each slot will represent nearly 16g. Don't fill up slots with low level crafted items, or easily purchaseable recipes.

Materials and items taken from the bank are to be used to benefit the guild and not for personal profit. It is expected that armor and weapons withdrawn from the guild bank by cohorts will be equipped for use by that character. Withdrawing items to sell on the Auction House or to transfer to another character will be considered theft from the guild and grounds for an immediate gkick. If you want to withdraw something for your alt which is also in AIE, please do so while logged in as that alt.

Enchanting or crafting supplies from the guild bank should also be used for the benefit of the guild. Crafting or enchanting something for yourself or a guild member? Fine. Crafting or enchanting something for a non-guild member, charging someone for the enchant, or selling the crafting item? Not okay. That is using items from the guild bank for personal profit.

Periodically, an officer appointed to this task will go through the weapons and armor in the guild bank and disenchant the items which have been taking up inventory space for a considerable period of time. Those enchanting mats will be redeposited in the guild bank or used for events like the Craft Fair. As such, withdrawing items specifically to disenchant for mats is not allowed, regardless of the intended use of the mats.

Please be aware that guild bank deposit and withdrawal logs are examined frequently by officers.
